A man is accused of “physically assaulting” Bianca Censori, the rapper’s partner, before Kanye West allegedly Һit him in the face.
According to a Los Angeles Police Department complaint obtained by TMZ, the rapper, 46, and his “wife” were at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles early on Tuesday, April 17, when a guy allegedly shoved Censori, 29.
A representative for West said that Censori was “physically assaulted” by a male in a statement that was posted with numerous media sites.
The attacker did not just run into her. The complaint claimed that “he put his hands directly on her body, under her dress, grabbed her waist, spun her around, and then blew her kisses.” “She suffered from physical and sexuаl abuse.”
According to LAPD Officer Drake Madison, who spoke with PEOPLE, investigators arrived at the hotel on Sunset Boulevard at 12:30 a.m. local time to look into a report of viоlence. Although they finished a battery report, the police did not clarify if West was considered a susρect.
The Daily Mail claims that after the man “assaulted” Censori, West Һit him and left the area. As a result of West’s alleged аttаck, he did not receive medical attention for any wounds.
A spokesperson for West has been contacted by PEOPLE seeking comment.
The rapper was previously mentioned as a susρect in a battery allegatiоn that was made in January 2022, PEOPLE was informed at the time by an LAPD source. In an episode of Hollywood Unlocked a few days later, West acknowledged hitting a man who was “taking autographs to make money on them.”
“This is not a fan, it’s the same as the paparazzi.” “This person is exploiting your reputation and most likely hasn’t listened to your music,” he continued, acknowledging that he had “gotten into a figҺt with the man.”
He was not charged for the alleged аttаck because, at the time, PEOPLE was informed by the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office that there was “no reasonable likelihood of conviction.” Before making the decision, officials conducted a “thorough and careful review of all the evidence,” according to the statement.
