It’s reported the Grammy winning rapper punched the male fan and pushed him down to the ground. The case is being investigated as misdemeanor battery, which carries a maximum jail sentence of 6 months.
There is video footage of Ye yelling and screaming at someone. It’s unclear who he’s arguing with in the clip.
”Did y'all say that or not? Did y'all say that or not?" "Cuz that's what happened right f****** now,” Ye shouted.

In another clip, the Jesus Is King rapper is seen arguing with his female cousin as the victim lays out on the ground:
TMZ reports:
Witnesses tell us this was just seconds after Kanye allegedly punched the guy twice -- once in the head, and once in the neck -- and when the autograph seeker went down, his head struck the ground hard.
We're told Kanye had asked the small group of people outside the building not to take photos and said something about them not understanding what he's going through right now. When someone replied that it's okay, we all go through family stuff ... that's when Ye allegedly unloaded the 2 punches.
Ye was living it up at Delilah in WeHo with his girlfriend Julia Fox before the alleged attack.
There’s a viral video of Ye and Julia vibing out with ex-Bucs player Antonio Brown, famed boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. and singer Madonna. It’s unclear where they were, but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Hunger Games actor Evan Ross was also in the mix, sharing flicks and videos from the meet up:
Very weird, indeed.
