US rapper XXXTentacion’s trial for domestic violence has been delayed.

The Florida musician, whose debut album 17 reached No 2 in the US Billboard charts last month and No 12 in the UK, was set to attend court on 5 October. The trial has now been postponed and no new date has been set, according to music website Pitchfork.

The 19-year-old rapper, real name Jahseh Onfroy, was charged with aggravated battery of a pregnant woman, domestic battery by strangulation, false imprisonment and other offences last year. A spokesperson for the Miami-Dade state attorney’s office reportedly suggested that Onfroy’s lawyer was to blame for the postponement of the trial, which was originally due to begin in May. Onfroy has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

At the beginning of the month, Pitchfork published a series of disturbing excerpts from a 142-page testimony by the alleged victim, detailing multiple instances of abuse as well as her escape. Onfroy responded to the report with a series of expletive-laden Instagram videos.
