Rapper Kanye West is reported to have been sued for assault and recklessness by a photographer over a heated argument.

An angry Kanye West, aka Ye, grabbed a phone from a paparazzi photographer and threw it into oncoming traffic while she recorded him, according to claims in a lawsuit filed in Ventura County. Video of the incident was recorded outside a Newbury Park sports facility on Jan.

Earlier this year, a video surfaced in which Kanye West told a person to stop filming him. They refused, so West took their phone and threw it. There was a police investigation over the incident, which ended with the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office saying that West wouldn’t face any charges.
