An investigation into Kanye West committing assault at a Los Angeles hotel is reportedly coming to an end due to a lack of cooperation.
Earlier this month, West punched a man who had allegedly sexually assaulted his wife Bianca Censori while the couple was at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. Milo Yiannopoulos, chief of staff for rapper Yeezy’s clothing company, revealed to several media outlets that the man approached Censori and did vile things to him.
“He put his hand under her dress, directly on her body,” Yiannopoulos explained. “He grabbed her waist, spun her around and then blew kisses at her. She was beaten and sexually assaulted.”
Although he did not witness the ordeal, Kanye West claimed that he approached the man after Bianca told him what had happened. After a brief chat with the man, West ended up punching him. West and Censori then walked away.
However, it seemed that West hit the wrong man and mistook him for his twin brother. Both men were identified as restaurateurs Mark and Jonnie Houston.
Despite Kanye West fully admitting to punching one of the Houston brothers, TMZ reports that no one has spoken to police. Notably, the brother spoke to the Los Angeles Police Department on the night in question. They have since stopped cooperating with the investigation.
Authorities believe the brothers and West have been speaking since the situation occurred. Sources also told TMZ that hotel surveillance video captured the original incident. However, it only showed one of the brothers meeting Censori by mistake.
West’s alleged hit was not caught on camera. It’s still unclear which twin West ended up hitting.
Kanye West being sued by former security guard for discrimination
Although his incident at the hotel may be behind him, Kanye West’s legal problems are far from over.
According PEOPLE, West is now being sued by a former security guard, Benjamin Deshon Provo, for discrimination against black employees and wrongful termination.
Provo revealed that he had worked security for Kanye West at his private school, Donda Academy. He also worked in a warehouse where the rapper kept his Yeezy clothing line. The former security guard claims he saw West frequently yell at and berate black employees. Provo also said he was fired for refusing to cut his dreadlocks.
Provo revealed that he was going to put himself and the paparazzi “in danger” by grabbing cameras. He also claimed that West demanded that “anyone associated with Donda get rid of books related to Martin Luther King, Jr, Malcolm X and other important figures in the black community.”
The former security guard further noted the “huge difference” in the way Kanye West treated him and other Black employees compared to their “non-Black counterparts.”
Along with this lawsuit, West was also recently accused by another former employee of discrimination and harassment. In that lawsuit, West was accused of telling Donda Academy students that “they could be locked in cages.”
