Kanye West has apparently indulged in a controversial new one. The rapper has reportedly been named a suspect in a battery investigation after the rapper allegedly snatched a cellphone belonging to a woman and threw it away, as reported by TMZ.
A video of the incident is also making the rounds on the internet. In the video, West was en route to ella North’s daughter and ella Saint’s son’s basketball game in Los Angeles when the alleged incident occurred. The rapper is seen getting out of his black Mercedes-Benz to allegedly confront the woman in his vehicle. However, Kanye apparently suspected that the paparazzi were following him.
Meanwhile, his new ‘wife’ Bianca Censori was seen in the passenger seat of his car and did not follow the Grammy Award winner. In the video, the woman, who reportedly has not been identified as a fan or a photographer, filmed the hitmaker from the driver’s seat as she said: “You didn’t have to run me over like that.” The rapper added: ‘If I say stop, stop with your cameras!’ as the woman suggested that she was within her rights to film him because he is a ‘celebrity’.
However, it appears that the response prompted Kanye to allegedly grab the woman’s cell phone from her hand before tossing it into the air. Meanwhile, it’s unclear what led to the confrontation. However, the outlet reported that Kanye accused the woman of “following” him and has since been named a suspect in an assault investigation.
According to recent reports, Ventura County Sheriff’s Department deputies were called and responded to the incident “around 4:30 p.m. and were provided with video evidence of the incident.” Meanwhile, West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian was also in attendance at Friday night’s game when she arrived with sister Khloe Kardashian’s ex, Tristan Thompson. Kanye’s alleged altercation was said to have taken place near the sports facilities.
