Rapper, Kanye West allegedly confronted a 18 year old man for yelling racial slurs at his fiancée Kim Kardashian.
The incident happened at a Beverly Hills office building where the couple was meeting up for a design appointment.
A source tells E! News that the altercation occurred between Kanye and a 18 year old white male. “Kim and Kanye were meeting for an appointment today. Kim arrived later than Kanye. En route into the building Kim saw a young man yelling racial slurs at the paparazzi. Kim told him he shouldn’t use racial slurs and he turned on her and verbally assaulted her.”
The man called Kim, a “ni**er lover” and told her to “shut the fu*k up.”
Kim was followed into the building by the man and Kanye called Kim wondering where she was and she told him about the man screaming at her. Kanye rushed over to her side and the man continued to scream at the couple.
According to TMZ, witnesses said they saw Kanye punch the man. A worker separated the two and the 18 year old man says that he wants to press charges.
Beverly Hills law enforcement tells TMZ that Kanye is now officially a suspect in the battery investigation.
Kanye is due in court on January 23rd for misdemeanor battery and attempted grand theft for the assault case involving a paparazzi photographer in September.
