Jay Electronica: I'll 'come see' you, threatens Ben Goldsmith's rap star love rival Shortly afterwards he added: "you wanna go public, i'll go public and you aint gonna like it. stop acting like a bitch." The provocative messages, which were later deleted, risk re-igniting the public feud between Mr Goldsmith, 31, and his estranged wife, 29, that took place earlier this month. Mr Goldsmith, the youngest son of the billionaire financier Sir Goldsmith, had known his wife, an heir to the Rothschild banking fortune, since they were teenagers and the couple married in 2003. But it emerged at the start of June that their relationship had gone through a rocky patch earlier this year and that Mrs Goldsmith, who runs a small record label, had had a fling with Electronica. The couple then had a showdown at their £20million Kensington home, during which Mr Goldsmith slapped his wife and kicked a toy at her, later accepting a police caution for assault. After he escaped on holiday to Sicily with their three children, details of the break-up appeared in the press, prompting an angry response from Mrs Goldsmith. She hired a PR firm to issue a statement declaring that "false and inaccurate" information had been given to the media "in a deliberate attempt to damage Kate and her businesses." Over the following days, the couple made a series of pointed comments on their Twitter accounts, with Mr Goldsmith saying it was a "bit late" for his wife to "fix her reputation." Late one night she posted a series of messages, most of which were later deleted, describing how she was going through "the darkest time of my wife" and that although she loved her "brilliant and incredible" husband, "relationships go wrong and ours did." At the end of what friends admitted was a "very emotional week," the couple called a truce in a joint statement. They said they would concentrate on their children, as preparations were made for them to divorce. Since then both parties have made only occasional and enigmatic comments online. Mrs Goldsmith, who reverted to her maiden name on Twitter, tweeted "and just like that....." on Wednesday. On Thursday she responded to a message from Nicky Hilton, an American reality TV star, by saying "A LOT has happened since you were here." Meanwhile Mr Goldsmith wrote on Twitter on Tuesday: "The literal translation of the word MORTGAGE, from the French, is GRIP OF DEATH." Electronica lives in London but was in America attending his grandmother's funeral when details of the marriage break-up emerged and has since then kept a low profile. The critically acclaimed rapper, who has 235,000 followers on Twitter, had last year used the website to praise Mr Goldsmith for the film he produced about the West Indies cricket team. A spokesman for Mr Goldsmith said that since the joint statement made with his wife, he had kept to the agreement not to make any more comments about their private life. Family friends said they were baffled by the "bizarre" claims made by Electronica, and expected Mr Goldsmith to brush them off as he tries to get on with his life.
