KANYE WEST WILL NOT BE CHARGED FOR THE INCIDENT OF THE TAKEN AND THROWN AWAY PHONE.

The Chicago rapper will not be charged in connection with the incident from January, according to TMZ, who claims that he is no longer a suspect.

According to records from the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office that TMZ got on Wednesday (March 15), the woman’s phone only sustained minimal damage that only harmed the $30 case that was around the device. According to the records, she also decided not to accuse Kanye.

While it was not proven, the rapper and producer thought a female photographer followed him as he left his daughter North’s basketball game at the time of the incident.

Another onlooker who witnessed the incident captured Kanye approaching the woman’s car and confronting her on tape. Ye was heard saying, “You didn’t have to run up on me like that,” as the woman recorded from inside her car.

“I wasn’t running. I wasn’t running – but Kanye you’re a celebrity,” the woman responded. To which Kanye doubled down, “If I say stop, stop with your cameras!”

A witness in the automobile captured Kanye going into the woman’s car, stealing her phone, and throwing it onto the street while the two continued to dispute. About 4:30 PM, according to reports, Ventura County Sheriff’s Department deputies arrived on the site and were given access to the camera as proof.

Ye said that he believed his “human rights” were often infringed by professional photographers during a different encounter with paparazzi on the same day.

The rapper has already expressed his dislike of cameras in public. Kanye said that his terrible experiences with paparazzi are the reason he started taking medicine as a result of a different meeting with paps before these instances.

The disclosure was made in January during a conversation with a videographer by the Donda rapper, who has kept quiet since becoming a lightning rod for controversy last year.

A paparazzo started shooting Ye and his new wife, Yeezy architect Bianca Censori, while they were exiting a tanning salon in Los Angeles. West approached the photographer after recognizing him and asked him to stop filming because he thought it was “antagonistic.”

Kanye was beseeched by the cameraman, who said that he “just need[s] this one shot,” to which Ye responded:

“No, you got the shot, but I’m saying…You don’t even know! You just jump up on people like this.”

Afterwards, Kanye began to relax a little bit and spoke openly with the photographer about his ongoing problems with paparazzi, revealing that they were what caused him to be given medicine.

In the middle of his ongoing legal issues related to his offensive remarks regarding the Jewish community, Kanye West has released some new music. Listen to it here.

Ye shared his latest tune on Instagram on Wednesday, December 7, reviving his love of slicing up soul sounds.

The song by Donny Hathaway that is widely sampled throughout the album has been given the fitting provisional title “Someday We’ll All Be Free” by fans. The 2017 4:44 closing “Legacy” by JAY-Z utilized the same sample.

“Censori overload The variable epitope library from the antigen promotes an immune response in the body,”Ye said in the description for the video of his debut song since appearing on Cardi B’s “Hot Shit” in the summer.

Kanye West samples a divisive soundbite from his Alex Jones interview at the conclusion of the song, but he ends it before praising Hitler. “There’s a lot of things that I love…” After saying to end the song, the word “love” is repeated several times.

When Ye appeared on InfoWars, he constantly praised Hitler and complimented him for inventing the modern microphone and interstate highway system. This caused him to face a lot of criticism.

“Well, I see good things about Hitler also,” Kanye said. “I love everyone and Jewish people are not gonna tell me, you can love us and you can love what we’re doing to you with the contracts and you can love what we’re pushing with the pornography, and this guy who invented highways, who invented the very microphone I use as a musician, you can’t say out loud that this person ever did anything good, and I’m done with that.”

He continued: “I’m done with the classification. Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler.”

In a later conversation with the Proud Boys’ founder Gavin McInnes in Los Angeles, Ye reiterated his devotion to the German mass killer.

“So, you love Jews, but you’re canceled for antisemitism because you also love Hitler, but you love everyone equally,” McInnes said.

“Yeah, Jewish people can’t tell me who I can love and who I can’t love,” Ye replied. “You can’t force your pain on everyone else. Jewish people, forgive Hitler today. Let it go, let it go, and stop trying to force it on other people. Goodnight.”

Kanye West has urged Jews to “let it go” and demand that they forgive Adolf Hitler, who is accountable for the mass death of nearly six million Jews during the Holocaust.

Ye, who has come under fire for his antisemitic comments for weeks, reiterated his admiration for the racist German mass murderer in a recent interview with Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes in Los Angeles.

“So, you love Jews, but you’re canceled for antisemitism because you also love Hitler, but you love everyone equally,” McInnes said.

“Yeah, Jewish people can’t tell me who I can love and who I can’t love,” Ye replied. “You can’t force your pain on everyone else. Jewish people, forgive Hitler today. Let it go, let it go, and stop trying to force it on other people. Goodnight.”

In other parts of the conversation, Kanye sought to minimize the Holocaust by blaming Jews for Hitler’s “bad reputation” and claimed that abortion is “the Holocaust that were dealing with right now.”

The remarks follow Ye’s support for Hitler and the Nazis in an interview with far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who was last month fined hundreds of millions of dollars for spreading inaccurate information about the Sandy Hook school tragedy.

White nationalist Nick Fuentes, who has been hired to assist on the rapper’s presidential campaign, spoke on Jones’ InfoWars program with West.

Jones questioned Kanye about his recent string of antisemitic comments and how those claims unfairly characterized him as a Nazi. “You’re not Hitler, you’re not a Nazi, you don’t deserve to be called that and demonized,” Jones said.

“Well, I see good things about Hitler also,” Kanye answered. “I love everyone and Jewish people are not gonna tell me, you can love us and you can love what we’re doing to you with the contracts and you can love what we’re pushing with the pornography, and this guy who invented highways, who invented the very microphone I use as a musician, you can’t say out loud that this person ever did anything good, and I’m done with that.”

He continued: “I’m done with the classification. Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler.”

As recently as 2018, you may have lauded the Nazi leader. On his Higher Learning podcast in October, media personality Van Lathan stated that during Ye’s controversial 2018 TMZ visit, during which he claimed that slavery was a “choice,” he also expressed his support for Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.

“I’ve already heard him say that stuff before,” Van Lathan said. “I mean, I was taken aback because that type of antisemitic talk is disgusting. But as far as him, I knew that that was in him because when he came to TMZ, he said that stuff and they took it out of the interview.

“The reason they took it out is because it wouldn’t have made sense unless they kept in Kanye saying he loved Hitler and the Nazis, which he said when he was at TMZ. He said something like, ‘I love Hitler, I love Nazis.’ Something to that effect.”

Most recently, Elon Musk and Kanye West got into a verbal altercation after the tech billionaire declared he wanted to “punch” the rapper for making a swastika tweet that led to the rapper’s suspension from Twitter earlier this month.

“Posting swastikas in what obviously is not a good way is an incitement to violence,” Musk said during a Twitter Spaces Q&A roundtable this past weekend. “I personally wanted to punch Kanye, so that was definitely inciting me to violence.”

Due to a block by two Black men who hold the copyright to the divisive phrase, Kanye West won’t be allowed to sell his “White Lives Matter” t-shirts.

Last month, the slogan’s owners, Civic Cipher hosts Ramses Ja and Quinton Ward, acquired legal ownership to it. When the pair noticed that Kanye West was continuing to sell the shirts, they made the decision to apply for the trademark.

“Once it was clear that someone stood to gain significant profit from it, because as you’ve seen, even though he (West) says some really hurtful, divisive and sometimes crazy things, he has a bit of a zealot following and every time he releases something, it sells out,” Ward said during an interview with CNN.

The hosts contend that having ownership of the trademark entails a duty to prevent misuse of the catchphrase or its exploitation for financial gain.

On the same day Kanye West wore the shirt with the words “White Lives Matter” on the back and an image of Pope John Paul II on the front during Paris Fashion Week, an anonymous listener to the Civic Cipher show registered the trademark. The individual then gave the pair ownership of their property.

The Civic Cypher hosts were unaware of the reason the listener had first purchased the rights, but they believed it had occurred when the word resurfaced after Ye donned the shirts and others realized what may happen if the shirts were on sale.

Ja and Ward founded Civic Cipher, a national program, in 2020 to provide the Black community a platform to discuss issues that impact them, like racism in the environment, housing disparity, and police violence.

During a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, Kanye West sought to defend his decision to wear the shirt by describing it as something he thought “funny.”

“I do certain things from a feeling,” he said. “I just channel the energy, it just feels right. It’s using a gut instinct, a connection with God, and just brilliance … God is preparing us for the real battles, and we are in a battle with the media. The majority of the media has a God-less agenda, and the jokes are not working. This whole like, ‘Oh, Ye’s crazy,’ and all these things, they don’t work.”

“My dad is an educated ex-Black Panther and he put a text to me that said, ‘White Lives Matter hahaha.’ And I said, ‘I thought the shirt was a funny shirt.’ I said the idea of me wearing it was funny. I said, ‘Dad, what do you think of it?’ He said, ‘Just a Black man stating the obvious.’”

During an appearance with the French television program Clique, Ye also explained why he wore the shirt, saying it was in response to seeing white people wearing Black Lives Matter shirts.

After his adidas contract was cancelled, Kanye West returned to Instagram to express his disappointment at losing “$2 billion in one day.”

After calling on businesses to quit dealing with super agent Ari Emanuel in the entertainment sector, the rap mogul turned to social media on Thursday morning (October 27) to respond.

Ye doesn’t seem to be upset about losing so much money in a short period of time based on his statements.

“Ari Emmanuel, I lost 2 billion dollars in one day and I’m still alive,” Kanye said. “This is love speech. I still love you. God still loves you. The money is not who I am. The people is who I am.”

In a recent op-ed for the Financial Times, Ari Emanuel criticized Kanye West for his anti-Semitism and discussed the consequences of businesses doing nothing to stop him.

“Apple and Spotify, which host West’s music, whoever organizes West’s tours, and Adidas, which collaborates with West on his fashion line, should all stop working with him,” he wrote. “Silence is dangerous. It allows forms of hatred and racism, including anti-Semitism, to spread and become normalized. It coarsens and degrades our society and country.”

He went on: “Those who continue to do business with West are giving his misguided hate an audience. There should be no tolerance anywhere for West’s anti-Semitism. This is a moment in history where the stakes are high and being open about our values, and living them, is essential. Silence and inaction are not an option.”

Due to his recent anti-Semitic remarks, adidas dismissed Kanye West on Tuesday (October 25). This decision apparently cost him his billionaire title. His net worth decreased from $1.9 billion to $400 million, according to Forbes.

Kanye released a text message from his lawyer, Quinn Emanuel, outlining his rights with respect to adidas and Gap, with whom he severed ways in September, in another Instagram post.

“As to adidas, you can start to make new designs for footwear, apparel and accessories immediately,” the message said. “As to Gap, the non-compete expires December 15, 2022. You own the Yeezy name and all the trademarks associated with Yeezy.”

The rapper also posted a message that said, “Ye has reportedly cut ties with Kanye West,” from a parady account.

Due to anti-Semitism, Kanye West’s Instagram account was shut down on October 8 as a result of a post to Diddy that read: “This ain’t a game Ima use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me I told you this was war Now gone get you some business.”

He was then suspended from Twitter after posting in a since-deleted message that he would “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE”: “The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also. You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”
