Rapper, Kanye West, Charged With Criminal Battery And Attempted Grand Theft

According to TMZ, Kanye West has been charged over his attack on a paparazzo at LAX in July. The 36-year-old singer will face prosecution for criminal battery and attempted grand theft after he lashed out at a photographer who was peppering him with questions upon his arrival at Los Angeles International Airport. Both charges are misdemeanours but Kanye – who recently welcomed his first child with girlfriend Kim Kardashian - could face a year in jail if found guilty.
