Kanye West under investigation for alleged battery
Kanye West is under investigation for alleged criminal
battery in Los Angeles, a spokeswoman for the LAPD confirmed.
The “Donda” performer, 44, allegedly got into an argument
that turned physical around 3 a.m. local time Thursday when a fan asked West
for his autograph while he was sitting in his SUV outside of the private club
Soho Warehouse, Fox 11 first reported.
West allegedly punched the fan, who fell to the ground, and
the case is being investigated as misdemeanor battery, which carries a maximum
jail sentence of six months.
Reps for West didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request
for comment. The LAPD declined to provide details beyond confirming the
investigation.
TMZ obtained a video of an apparent irate West, who could be
heard yelling, “Did y’all say that or not? Did y’all say that or not?
“‘Cause that’s what happened right f–king now.”
As Page Six reported, West was with girlfriend Julia Fox and
a variety of celebrities, including Evan Ross, Madonna and Antonio Brown, at
restaurant-club Delilah Wednesday night.
West and Fox, 31, were photographed making out as she walked
the Yeezy designer to his SUV, as he ended up leaving Delilah while she stayed
behind at the hotspot.
The “Stronger” rapper, who is in the midst of a divorce from
Kim Kardashian, has been in LA for at least a week, hitting up various sceney
restaurants alongside Fox and Brown, 33, and even grabbing dinner with Jared
Kushner.
“It was a purely private dinner,” an insider exclusively
told us of West and Kushner’s night out. “No business agenda.”
