Kanye West will not be facing charges forthrowing a woman’s phone into the street during a confrontation in January.
The Ventura County District Attorney’s Office released a statement, which was obtained by TMZ, indicating that the woman’s phone only suffered minor damage, which only affected the case around the device, valued at $30.
Furthermore, the woman declined to press charges against the rapper-turned-designer.
West had been at the center of a battery investigation following the incident. The altercation happened as he was leaving his daughter North‘s basketball game when he noticed he was being photographed.
In a video that quickly went viral, West approached the woman as she filmed him from inside her own vehicle.
West told the woman to stop filming, but she argued that she could film him because of his “celebrity” status. The Grammy winner reached into her car, snatched her phone, and threw it in the air.
Afterward, he was seen confronting another photographer before driving off with his “wife,” Bianca Censori, in the passenger seat.
West co-parents his four children with ex-wife Kim Kardashian, who filed for divorce from the rapper in February 2021.
