Kanye Will Not Be Charged For Allegedly Punching A Fan!
Once again a hip hop star Ye gets a hand slap after punching a fan. Now we don’t know if the fan was unruly or not, but sometimes the rappers are guilty of assault…
CelebnMusic247.com reports the Chicago rapper will not be charged with battery for allegedly punching a fan after a heated exchange outside an L.A. hotel in January.
The Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office told sources:
After a thorough and careful review of all the evidence, our office is declining to file based on no reasonable likelihood of conviction.
Basically, there’s not enough evidence for a conviction.
As previously reported, Kanye West got into an argument with a fan that turned physical back in January. A fan was allegedly punched by West after asking the ‘Jesus Walks’ rapper for an autograph. The alleged incident took place the morning of Jan. 13 around 3 am in the downtown Los Angeles area.
In the video obtained by TMZ, we see Kanye West yelling at a member of his entourage after the incident, telling her to “get away” from him. We also see a man laying on the ground.
The case was being investigated as a misdemeanor battery, which carries a maximum jail sentence of 6 months. He previously was sentenced to two years of probation, anger management classes and community service for his misdemeanor battery for getting physical with paparazzi while at LAX Airport back in July 2013.
The alleged January battery coincided with the final weeks of West’s marriage to Kim Kardashian and his very public criticism of the beauty mogul and her then-boyfriend, Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson.
A day after the incident, Kanye dropped his song with The Game titled “Eazy,” in which he verbally threatens Davidson.
