The 32-year-old man, who also knew the singer's relatives, at one point allegedly threatened to burn down her parents' house.
According to police documents, the alleged reign of terror began during the one-time couple's short romance and continued afterwards.
One of the earliest alleged incidents occurred while the couple was staying at the Town & Country Motel at Strathfield, in inner western Sydney.
Two women guests at the motel offered the singer refuge in their room after the man allegedly prevented the woman from leaving by grabbing her by the hair and dragging her along the footpath outside.
Police say the woman then locked herself in their hotel room as her then boyfriend screamed that if she didn't come out he would burn down her family home.
The man allegedly screamed: "Everybody's lives will be ruined. You know I'm not afraid to do it."
Several months later, another incident allegedly happened when the singer left the unit the couple was renting in western Sydney to go to Concord Hospital about a medical condition.

The man drove the singer to the emergency department where she was triaged to a small consultation room where she lay on a bed.
Police allege the boyfriend then closed the doors at each end of the room and took a scalpel from a cabinet and held it to the singer's cheek.
Armed with the scalpel, the man allegedly said "open your legs. I want you now. I'm going to have you now".
The woman realised the scalpel had cut her face and she struggled as the man allegedly climbed on top of her.
The woman then tried to scream, but the man allegedly covered her mouth and she escaped from the room as he followed, saying "If I don't have you now, I don't care if the police come".
The singer ran through the emergency area and along a hallway into a disabled toilet where police allege the man followed her and locked the door, trapping her and saying, "it's going to happen".
Police then allege he took hold of the woman's hair and underwear and sexually assaulted her, then dragged her from the hospital and drove her home.
On another occasion police allege that he tied her to a bed with duct tape and, armed with a man's belt, struck her forcefully over her body and raped her.
In mid-2015, the woman was released after a period of time in hospital and the man collected her and drove her to a Sydney hotel where police allege he choked and raped her.
In December 2015, police allege the man tied the singer by the wrists late at night at Merrylands Oval in western Sydney and attempted to rape her up against a metal fence.

On a different occasion police allege the man tied up the woman with her G-string and forcibly had sexual intercourse with her, saying "You can't stop me".
