Kanye West — Kanye’s Side Of The Story

The incident happened during the time Kanye was having difficulty getting to his kids after his split from Kim Kardashian. According to Kanye, his two female cousins came by so he sent them to go sort out the issue with Kim (Kanye went to see the children but the security at Kim’s house didn’t let him in). Kanye said he just finished two songs, he came from the studio and some guy walked up to him “and this dude, he just had this real attitude, like, ‘What you gonna do? And see that?’ Imma just tell you, that blue COVID mask ain’t stop that knockout, you know what I’m saying?”

Kanye went on to explain that the guy he hit wasn’t even a fan but someone who wants to make money off him. Kanye said the guy is someone who goes about “taking autographs to make money on them” so the guy wants to get Kanye’s autograph and sell it to make money. Kanye went on to explain that he got into a physical altercation with the guy and just then his cousins pulled up, and one of them walked up to him to tell him they didn’t get the job done so he told the girl to give him some space because he was already in a bad mood.

“So now my cousins are coming back and they have not delivered on it. So I end up getting into an altercation with the guy that wanted to make money off of my autographs, then my cousin pulls up and she’s talking to me. I say, ‘Give me a breather. Get away from me.’”

Goldstein said his client did everything he could to avoid the autograph stalker, Goldstein said there are video clips to prove it.

Goldstein’s statement reads: “For the two nights proceeding this particular incident, the same gentleman followed my client to three different locations and was captured on video approaching my client repeatedly entering into his personal space, which was unacceptable. The information concerning these prior incidents, along with video and photographic evidence, were provided to the LA City Attorney’s office for review. Ultimately, the City Attorney made the right decision.”
