Kanye West Named As Suspect In Alleged Criminal Battery Case: Report

Years have passed since his infamous late-night rants against the paparazzi but Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, definitely hasn’t said goodbye to his quick temper. According to a report from TMZ, the multidisciplinary artist was involved in an argument that allegedly turned physical on Thursday morning at around 3 AM in Downtown Los Angeles.

Law enforcement sources have reportedly named Ye as a suspect in a criminal battery investigation following an incident outside of Soho Warehouse. Ye appeared enraged in a video, screaming at somebody, “Did y’all say that or not? Did y’all say that or not? ‘Cause that’s what happened right f*cking now!” He allegedly also pushed somebody during the meltdown.

The case is being looked at as misdemeanor battery, which carries a maximum sentence of six months. It’s highly unlikely that he will end up serving any time for this though.
