Bieber buddy and Young Money backbencher Lil Twist is in big trouble.

Last  October, Twist and some friends were hanging out at the LA apartment of rapper and actor Kyle Massey. An argument ensued, and Kyle threw Twist out. Twist returned later in the day, allegedly breaking into the apartment and then assaulting Kyle's brother Chris, formerly of Nickelodeon fame, with brass knuckles. Twist also allegedly stole Chris's wallet and cell phone and left him pantsed.

Yeah, that last detail made us all chuckle. But the Los Angeles County DA Office  is taking this case very seriously and have just charged Lil Twist with making criminal threats, burglary, grand theft, battery and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon.

If convicted, the 22 year old faces up to 25 years in prison.
