Kanye West has notably made his hate for the paparazzi known considering he not only trashes them in his rap lyrics, but also attacks them in real life when they violate his orders of not talking to him. Although it’s not new for Kanye to assault the paps, it was suspected that he could be charged for his most recent attack considering the pap involved expressed he wanted to file charges against the rapper. Although reports even claimed Kanye was being investigated for a felony charge, it’s now being reported that Kanye will not be charged and will most likely have to hand over some major cash to make everything go away. TMZ reports:
LAPD robbery detectives are investigating the photog’s allegation that Kanye tried to steal his camera — but our sources say that dog won’t hunt. The D.A. will NEVER charge Kanye with felony attempted robbery, because there’s no proof he tried to pilfer the camera at LAX.
We’re told cops will send the attempted robbery file to the D.A. and they expect it will be rejected within days.
The next step — the file goes to the L.A. City Attorney for a possible misdemeanor criminal battery prosecution. But here’s why that won’t happen. We’re told Kanye is willing to ante up some cash to make the case go away, and it’s perfectly legal. It’s called a civil compromise and it’s done everyday.
While it’s not clear just yet what Kanye is willing to settle for, the pap he attacked is a professional it seems at settling with angry celebs willing to attack. He’s the same guy that was assaulted by Britney Spears a few years ago, and according to reports he got a huge settlement from the pop star as well.
Welp, he’ll just do it again. It will take a pap fighting back or jail time to get him to stop.
Money talks. Honestly, I’m sure that’s all the pap wanted to begin with. So Kanye still loses because now he has to pay the people he can’t stand…again.
If Kanye pays this guy off, more and more paps are going to pull the same stunt. And I can’t blame them. You can push me for some stacks too. LOL.
He needs to be put in his place. Kanye’s arrogance keeps going unchecked and it really shouldn’t.
LOL! That was all the pap wanted anyway, MONEY! Kanye is a fool.
So basically the pap was threatening to file charges to get Kanye to cough up that cash. Kanye you got played.
Cosign.
Kanye is one celeb I wouldn’t mind going away to jail for a little while. I need break from him immediately.
LOL. Agreed.
I just don’t understand why Kanye won’t just learn how to shut up and deal with the paps like every other celeb. Attacking them won’t change anything. They will keep talking to him and when he snaps, they will hold their hands out for money. It is what it is.
If paps defended themselves, Kanye wouldn’t try them. He needs to be punched one good time and he’ll sit his azz down somewhere.
Charges need to be filed. This brat will just keep doing this.
