Tommy Hilfiger's son Richard has been arrested for battery in Miami Beach after he allegedly punched a bouncer in the face during an altercation at a nightclub.

The 25-year-old rapper was arrested in the early hours of Saturday morning outside of LIV nightclub at the Fontainebleau in Florida.

Hilfiger, who was dating singer Rita Ora until July this year, allegedly got upset after security told him he wouldn't be allowed into the swanky club because his friend's outfit was too scruffy for the club's dress code. 

Hilfiger was charged with battery and disorderly conduct as well as possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana, according to NBC Miami. 

Fire rescue was also called to give aid to the fashion heir, according to the local TV station, but he refused and 'cursed them out'.

The station said that Hilfiger, who is also known by his rap name Ricky Hil, was released from local Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on Saturday.

As he walked out of jail in a baggy white sweatshirt and blue jeans he told NBC: 'Please leave me alone, man.' 

Hilfiger - the second eldest of his designer dad's five children - was with two other men when he left the jail. One of them, Jordan Nunes, who said he'd been locked up with Hilfiger, told NBC Miami that he 'thinks Hilfiger bailed himself out because his dad is Tommy Hilfiger'.

He added: '[He told me] that he [was at the club] and the bouncer started screaming in his face. I guess he found that disrespectful. 

'So he didn't put his hand on him, he kinda like pushed him away, like "don't put your hands in my face", and then the bouncer grabbed him by his neck and tried to choke him. 

'So he defended himself. He just threw a blow.'

Hilfiger is the son of the fashion mogul Tommy Hilfiger - known for his clean cut, preppy clothes- particularly in the 1990s - which were later picked up by hip-hop stars.

Richard Hilfiger lives in California and is described as a 'rapper and hip-hop artist' who has been in the headlines more for his love life than his musical career.

He broke up with British singer Rita Ora in the summer after about a year together. E! News was told this was a 'mutual decision'.

Afterwards, he was photographed partying at the Greystone Manor nightclub in West Hollywood with a mysterious brunette in tow.

In late August, Daily Mail Online reported he was dating model Tess Dunne, after they were spotted in Las Vegas. She shared a number of pictures of them on her Instagram.

Dunne, 22, has been more than happy to let her followers know that she has snagged the son of the mega-wealthy fashion designer, as she shared a picture of them kissing with her 4,700 followers. 

A few weeks later, Hilfiger released a new single, Superman, on Soundcloud.
