According to New York Daily News, rapper Kanye West is under investigation for allegedly punching an 18-year-old man for making racist taunts towards fiancée Kim Kardashian. The debacle began when Kim reportedly told the boy who was inside of a chiropractor’s office in Los Angeles, that he should not make racial remarks towards paparazzi. That’s when the boy turned on Kim, saying “F–k you b—h. Just trying to help you. Shut up n—-r lover, stupid slut,” which prompted an angry reaction from Kanye. According to reports from TMZ, witnesses said Kanye punched the guy as Kim screamed, “We have it all on tape!” A massage therapist in the office had to separate the two men before Beverly Hills Police were called, but made no arrests.
UPDATE: The Beverly Hills Police Department has named West as a suspect in the incident. The potential charge is being classified as “misdemeanor battery assault.” TMZ reports that Kim “has already met with her lawyer and they decided they will mount a counterattack by filing a police report.”
