Kiwi rapper Scribe is back in the Christchurch District court today.

The hip-hop artist whose real name is Malo loane Luafutu is appearing on six charges relating to domestic violence.

Earlier this year, he was remanded in custody for breaching his bail conditions on two occasions, first by attending a gig in Motueka and then riding his bike at night.

He has been on electronic bail since October.
