Kanye West is reportedly the suspect in a battery investigation after he grabbed a woman’s cell phone and threw it during a heated exchange.
Video of the incident shows Kanye got into it with several photographers while trying to leave his daughter North’s basketball game. He approached a woman recording him from her car, telling her, “Y’all ain’t going to run up on me like that.”
“If I say stop, stop with your cameras,” Yeezy says through the woman’s car window. During the entire exchange, the unidentified woman never put her phone down.
“I know, but Kanye, you’re a celebrity!” she says back to him. He immediately grabs her phone from her hand and tosses it.
Ye confronts another pap on the way back to his car, where his wife, Bianca Censori, is waiting.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that deputies from the Ventura County Sheriff’s department were called to the scene at about 4:30 p.m. The woman was later photographed leaving the sheriff’s department while talking to two police officers.
It’s unclear at this time if the woman was a fan or a member of the paparazzi.
As a result of the exchange, Kanye is now the suspect in a batter investigation.
