Kanye West has reportedly been named a suspect in a battery investigation after the rapper allegedly snatched a cellphone belonging to a woman and threw it.
In a video shared on social media, West, 45, was en route to his daughter North and son Saint’s basketball game in LA when the alleged incident occurred.
The rapper, who seemingly suspected he was being followed by paparazzi, is seen exiting his black Mercedes-Benz to allegedly confront the female in her vehicle.
His new ‘wife’ Bianca Censori was seen in the passenger’s seat of his car and did not follow the Grammy Award-winner.

The woman – who has not been identified as either a fan or photographer – filmed the hitmaker from the driver’s seat as he said: ‘You didn’t have to run up on me like that.
‘If I say stop, stop with your cameras!’ Kanye continued, before the woman suggested she was within her rights to film him because he is a ‘celebrity.’
The response may have angered Kanye as he allegedly grabbed the woman’s cellphone from her hand before tossing it into the air.
It’s unclear as to what led to the confrontation.
TMZ reported that he accused the woman of ‘following him’ and has since been named a suspect in a battery investigation.

The outlet further alleged that Ventura County Sheriff’s Department deputies were called and responded to the incident ‘around 4:30 PM and were provided video evidence of the incident.’
West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian was also present at Friday night’s game as she arrived with sister Khloe Kardashian’s ex Tristan Thompson.
Kanye’s alleged altercation was said to have taken place near the sports facility.

Page Six reported that it wasn’t the only time West asked to be left alone on Friday.
The publication noted that after he returned to his vehicle, he then stopped in front of a group of paparazzi who had been recording the entire ordeal.
‘You want me to be running up on your kids’ games like that?’ the superstar asked a pap, who then replied, ‘There’s a hundred of us.’
Ye then pleaded, ‘Everybody needs to stop when I see my kids. If I need to see my kids, you can’t photograph me. It’s called human rights.’

West – who shares North, Saint, as well as daughter Chicago and son Psalm with Kim – shocked fans when it was reported earlier this month that he had married new ‘wife’ Bianca Censori.
His divorce from Kim – whom he was married to for nearly seven years – was finalized in December but the former couple were declared legally single this past March.
Earlier this month, Kanye reportedly said ‘I do’ to the Australian-born architect during a private, secret ceremony, and the rapper was soon seen with a wedding band on his ring finger.

Although the two have yet to file for a marriage certificate to officially legalize their nuptials, Kanye has worn the ring to signify his ‘commitment’ to Bianca, according to TMZ.
It is currently unknown how long the two have been romantically involved, but she has worked as a Yeezy architectural designer since 2020.
However, last month, Ye released a new track titled Censori Overload, in reference to her last name.
A source recently informed Page Six about Kim and her family’s reaction to the marriage news. ‘The family isn’t taking this as a marriage yet.’
Heated: ‘If I say stop, stop with your cameras!’ Kanye continued, before the woman suggested she was able to film him since he was a ‘celebrity’
‘They don’t know what it is. They aren’t sure if it is a PR stunt. They are waiting to see if he files for papers. They are nervous because if it’s real, she would be in the children’s life,’ the insider added.
However, on Sunday, nine-year-old North was seen having dinner with her father and his new ‘wife’ at celebrity hotspot Nobu to properly meet Bianca.
The news of the shock marriage also comes after controversial comments made by West at the end of 2022.
He made anti-Semitic statements on social media and on TV, which resulted in Adidas and Balenciaga cutting ties with him, as well as a suspension on Twitter.

It comes after Kanye and Kim kept their distance from each other as the rapper brought along Bianca to North and Saint’s basketball game in Los Angeles on Friday.
The reality star, 42, opted for stylish comfort wearing a red jersey shirt along with black shorts as her sister Khloe’s ex, Tristan Thompson, accompanied close behind her at the sports event.
Kim kept her look simplistic for the outing, and sported a red and orange-striped Diadora jersey top that contained short sleeves.
She paired the colorful shirt with plain, black biker shorts and slipped into comfortable black sneakers that were secured with laces.

Tagging along: The reality star was accompanied by Khloe Kardashian’s ex, Tristan Thompson, who recently attended his mother’s funeral in Toronto earlier this month
The mother of four slicked back her dark brunette locks which were styled into a single ponytail braid that fell down behind her to prevent any loose locks from falling onto her face.
Kim threw on a pair of large, stylish shades for a fashionable touch to her look, while also carrying a smartphone in her right hand rather than lugging a heavy purse or handbag.
Khloe Kardashian’s ex, Tristan Thompson, accompanied Kim to cheer on North and Saint at the basketball game.
