Kanye West is back in the headlines, but this time for a concerning reason. The rapper is reportedly under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) for an alleged battery incident.
According to reports, the situation unfolded during a recent outing with his wife, Bianca Censori. Details remain somewhat unclear, but a statement released by Kanye's confidante, Milo Yiannopoulos, paints a disturbing picture.
Yiannopoulos, who serves as Yeezy's chief of staff and was formerly a journalist for Breitbart, alleges that Ms. Censori was the target of unwanted physical contact and grabbing. "Bianca was physically assaulted last night," his statement reads.
Yiannopoulos' description goes on to detail the alleged assault as more than just an accidental bump. He claims the individual
"put his hands under her dress, directly on her body,"
grabbed her waist and ass, spun her around, and even blew kisses and Ye's wife . These details, if true, paint a picture of a deliberate and inappropriate act.
The statement from Yiannopoulos goes a step further, criticizing the use of the word grabbed to describe the incident that happened. He argues that a stranger grabbed Bianca is a significant understatement of what transpired.
Thankfully, no injuries were reported on either sides of the party. TMZ sources claim the man Kanye allegedly punched did not seek medical attention following the altercation. The LAPD is currently gathering information and interviewing witnesses to piece together a comprehensive picture of the events.
This isn't the first time Kanye has faced a battery investigation. In early 2023, a photographer filed a lawsuit against him, alleging assault, battery, and negligence. The incident stemmed from an alleged confrontation between Kanye and the photographer while Kanye was returning home from his daughter's basketball game.
While the specifics of this recent situation are still emerging, it raises concerns about Kanye's behavior and his response to situations where he feels his wife is being disrespected. It's important to note that these are just allegations at this point, and Kanye has yet to publicly comment on the matter.
Hopefully, the LAPD investigation will shed light on what exactly happened and ensure that all parties involved are treated fairly. In the meantime, this incident undoubtedly casts a shadow over Kanye West's personal life and public image.
