Kanye West avoids charges after punching fan
Back in early January, Kanye West went viral, once again. This was due to an altercation with a fan, in downtown Los Angeles. This was late in the night around 3AM, outside of a hotel, the SoHo Warehouse. The fan allegedly wanted to get an autograph, to sell. This eventually led to Kanye throwing a punch, and connecting, on this man, in his neck and head. Kanye soon began yelling, as his cousin tried to calm him down.
Fortunately for Kanye, he will now officially not be charged for this incident, at all. The Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office released a statement to TMZ, explaining the lack of evidence.
“After a thorough and careful review of all the evidence, our office is declining to file based on no reasonable likelihood of conviction.”
At the time, Kanye was facing a misdemeanor battery charge. That could’ve landed him in jail, for six months. At the time, Kanye was constantly yelling “Did y’all say that or not? Did y’all say that or not?” “Cuz that’s what happened right f****** now.” Kanye also hung out with Julia Fox that night, who he was still dating, at the time.
After getting punch, the man reportedly refused medical treatment. He went on to be checked in at a local urgent care facility, though.
