Kanye West charged with battery and attempted theft over paparazzi attack

Rapper Kanye West has been charged with battery and attempted theft following an incident with a paparazzi photographer back in July at LA Airport.

Although the ‘Gold Digger’ star avoided felony charges over the incident due to the victim’s injuries from the scuffle with Kanye being so minor, West has now been charged with battery and attempted theft.

The photographer who is taking legal action against Kanye, Daniel Ramos, claims that he was left in “complete shock” after the ‘Yeezus’ hit-maker lashed out at him on July 19.

Ramos stated: “All I had done was ask him a question. I was terrified when Kanye started to come at me. I backed up because I felt from the look in his eyes that he was going to attack me.”

Kanye West’s arraignment has been set for October 10.
