According to TMZ, the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office revealed on March 15 that the cellphone only received “minor damage” to its $30 protective case.
After that, the woman whose property had been damaged declined to press charges against West, 45.
At the time of the incident, the outlet reported that police were called to the scene, given video evidence, and later named West as a suspect in a battery case.
The video, which was shared on social media, appeared to show West engaging in a heated argument with the female photographer before grabbing her phone and tossing it aside.
On Friday, January 28, he was on his way to his daughter North’s, nine, and son Saint’s, seven, basketball game in Los Angeles when the alleged incident occurred.
The rapper, who appears to be aware that he is being followed by paparazzi, is seen exiting his black Mercedes-Benz to confront the female driver. Bianca Censori, his new ‘wife,’ was seen in the passenger seat of his car but did not accompany the Grammy Award-winner.
‘You didn’t have to run up on me like that,’ West said as she filmed him from the driver’s seat.
‘If I say stop, put your cameras away!’ Kanye went on, before the woman said she had the right to film him because he is a “celebrity.”
Kanye may have been enraged by the response, as he grabbed the woman’s cellphone from her grasp before tossing it into the air.
It was said to have happened near the sports facility where his children were supposed to play.
Kim Kardashian, West’s ex-wife, was also seen arriving at the game with her sister, Khloe Kardashian’s ex Tristan Thompson, 32.
