Kanye West reportedly under investigation after he allegedly tossed a woman’s phone when she refused to stop filming him
Kanye West is reportedly under investigation after he allegedly yanked a woman’s phone out of her hand and tossed it when she refused to stop filming him.
According to a viral video, the rapper-turned-fashion designer was leaving his daughter North’s basketball game when he noticed that he was being followed by paps.
Although unclear if the woman was a pap or simply a fan, he allegedly got out of his car and confronted her while she filmed him from inside her own vehicle.

“You didn’t have to run up on me like that,” he told the woman, who held her phone to his face.
“If I say stop, stop with your cameras!”
When the woman tried to argue that she could film him because he was “a celebrity,” Ye allegedly reached into her car, grabbed her phone and tossed it away.
As he walked away, he allegedly confronted another pap. However, it’s unclear what he told him to get him to back off.
It’s unknown how long the woman was allegedly filming West, 45, and what happened before he got out of his car that caused him to confront her.
