Rapper Busta Rhymes was hit with three assault charges Tuesday after a dispute with his assistant over being on his phone while working, law enforcement sources tell The Post.

Rhymes, 52, whose real name is Trevor Tahiem Smith Jr., turned himself in after the Jan. 10 incident.
The Brooklyn-born “Woo Hah!! Got You All in Check” rapper was previously charged with assault in 2015 after allegedly hurling a protein drink at an employee at a Manhattan gym.
