Kanye West has been named as a suspect and is under investigation for the assault of an 18-year-old man who’d gotten into a verbal altercation with his fiancée Kim Kardashian.

Kanye West Under Investigation

Kardashian was on her way into a building on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles to discuss furniture for her and West’s new home when paparazzi began crowding around her. The nearby teenager shouted, “F**k these fa–ot-ass n—-rs,” referring to the paparazzi while holding open the door for the reality TV star, reported TMZ.

Hearing the coarse language, Kardashian said, “That wasn’t cool,” a source told People. Then, the teenager turned his racist language towards Kardashian. "F–k you b—h. Just trying to help you. Shut up n—-r lover, stupid slut,” he said, according to TMZ.

When an unnerved Kardashian called West up on the phone to tell him what was going on, the teen reportedly said, "F–k you n—-r!”

West eventually arrived at the scene and went with Kardashian into the lobby of Richard Hills' chiropractic office, where he confronted the teen. West allegedly punched the teen in the arm and Kardashian shouted, "We have it all on tape.”

"The named suspect was identified as Kanye West by the victim and several witnesses," the Beverly Hills Police Department said in a statement. "Mr. West had left the location prior to officers' arrival. As of this writing, BHPD detectives are conducting a follow-up investigation. No further information at this time."
