It seems like troubles haven’t left Kanye West’s side yet. It is because the 45-year-old rapper is reportedly under investigation for alleged assault and battery following his altercation that took place on the road while driving to his daughter North West’s basketball game in Los Angeles on January 27, 2023.

The incident

According to a report by TMZ that also has some videos of the said incident, Kanye West assumed that the car behind him was following him and his new wife Bianca Censori in their SUV. It resulted in the Yeezy designer stepping out of the vehicle to confront the people inside.

The alleged video footage shows a woman in the driver’s seat filming the rapper, who appears to be lecturing the people inside the car, saying, “You didn’t have to run up on me like that. If I say stop, stop with your cameras!” The woman who was filming him can also be heard saying “I wasn’t running” and “You’re a celebrity!” It was after the same that Ye can then be seen grabbing the woman’s phone, breaking it, and throwing it in the street, before returning to his own SUV, and driving away.
