Kanye West investigated after a confrontation with a woman who filmed him.
A spokesperson for the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to AND! News On January 27, the rapper, 45, was investigated for battery allegations. He received a call on Friday about an altercation between the “Power” cast and the woman who was filming him. Authorities were provided with video that shows West engaged in an argument with the woman and is seen grabbing the phone from her hand.
West left the area before police arrived. A crime report was taken, which will lead to further investigation, the spokesman explained.
In a video of the incident obtained by TMZ, the Yeezy founder is seen approaching a woman in a car while at a stoplight. He had gotten out of the car to talk to her.
“Y’all would never attack me like that,” West said.
The woman with a small dog in her lap replied, “I’m not running away.”
He continued on the phone, reaching out to West as he demanded, “Stop using your camera.”
The woman said, “I know, but Kanye you’re a celebrity.” Before he finished his sentence, West grabbed the phone from his hand and threw it into the street.
The incident occurred in Thousand Oaks, California, near the facility where Kanye’s eldest daughter, North, 9, was scheduled to play basketball. Kim Kardashian attended by his son Saint, 6, as well Tristan Thompson.
TMZ reports that West returned to the SUV, where his “husband,” Bianca sensorhave been waiting.
The performer and designer Yeezy held a wedding ceremony in early January, a special source told Us Weekly. “Kanye and Bianca had a small wedding ceremony, friends don’t know if it’s legal, but it’s very real for them,” an insider said earlier this month.
She shares North, Saint, Chicago, 5, and Psalm, 3, with Kardashian, 42. The Skims founder filed for divorce in February 2021 after nearly seven years of marriage. The judge declared them single in March 2022 before the separation was finalized the following December.
Coparenting with West — amid rants against Kardashian’s ex, Pete Davidsonand anti-Semitic rants – it has been difficult for the reality star.
“I will always protect them, and I will always be in the eyes of my children. For my children. So, in my house, my children do not know anything [in] outside world,” Kardashian explained during a December episode of the “Angie Martinez IRL” podcast.
“I’m holding a thread. I know I’m close to something that doesn’t happen, but while it’s still like that, I’ll protect it until the end of the Earth as much as possible. My children don’t know anything,” he continued. “So, at school, some friends I’m good at being a teacher, so I know what’s going on during recess and lunch. I heard what he said.
The reality star recalled her ongoing efforts to shield her four children from seeing West’s controversial social media comments.
“I’m holding a thread. I know I’m close to something that doesn’t happen, but when it’s still like that, I’m going to protect it to the end of the Earth as much as possible. My kids don’t know anything,” Kardashian explained. “So, at school, some my best friend is a teacher, so I know what happens during recess and lunch. I heard what he said.
Kardashian added: “Coparenting is really hard. I had the best dad and the best experiences, and that’s all I want for my kids… If they don’t know what they’re talking about, why would I bring that energy to them?” That’s real, hard, adult stuff that they’re not ready to deal with. When we are, we’ll have those conversations. One day my kids will thank me for not sitting and belittling their dad. I can.”
