Detail, a Grammy Award-winning music producer behind hits from Beyonce, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and Wiz Khalifa, was arrested Wednesday on more than a dozen counts of sexual assault.
The 41-year-old producer, whose real name is Noel Christopher Fisher, was held on nearly $6.3 million bail, according to a statement from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Detail was charged on July 31 with 15 counts of sexual assault and five counts of felony assault, the statement said. He is accused of crimes between 2010 and 2018.

“Mr. Fisher was just arrested some hours ago and I have not had an opportunity to speak to him or look at the charges. I am quite certain he will enter a not guilty plea and contest to the fullest all of these allegations," his attorney, Irwin Mark Bledstein, said in an email late Wednesday night.
Detail won a Grammy in 2015 for co-writing the Beyonce and Jay-Z hit “Drunk in Love.”
