Kanye West 'Shuts' Assault Victim Up With $250,000

Kanye West has reportedly paid $250,000 to a man who accused him of beating him up.

The 36-year-old rapper became the focus of a battery investigation after he reportedly chased the 18-year-old into a chiropractor's office and punched him after the teen apparently hurled racial slurs at Kanye's fiancé. 

However, TMZ reports the duo have now come to an agreement and Kanye has paid $250,000 to the man who no longer wishes to go ahead with prosecution

While the District Attorney has not yet decided whether to charge Kanye with battery, if he does go

ahead it will be harder to prove his guilt without a willing witness. 

TMZ also reports the alleged racial abuse by the victim means jurors won’t mean sympathetic to him.

While Kanye has not spoken out on the claims, his soon to be mother-in-law Kris Jenner appeared to confirm the reports of the incident during an interview on Australia's 2DayFM Breakfast Show earlier this month. 

After hosts Jules Lund, Merrick Watts, Sophie Monk and Mel B gave Kris a rundown of the incident, saying, 'Kanye assaulted an 18-year-old man by punching him in the face. He was defending Kim,' she replied, 'Well, that sounds like, a lot like what I heard.'

Kris added: 'I do know that how it started was this person got really a lot of racial, hateful, horrible things that he was saying. Apparently many times. Very hateful person. And I think that’s where it started. I’m not quite sure how it ended.'  

However, she admitted she has not spoken to her 33-year-old daughter or Kanye since the incident occurred.

'I got wind of this last night because I'd been out of town, and I've literally been doing some press all day today and have not been home so I haven’t talked to anybody to give you a better update,' she said.

'But I think that what happened was that somebody got really out of line.'

Meanwhile, a source told RadarOnline that Kim is 'proud of Kanye' for sticking up for her. 

The insider said: 'Kim loves that her man is protecting her. Unlike [her ex-husband] Kris Humphries, whom she never felt had her back, Kim is telling people that Kanye is a real man.'

The dramatic altercation allegedly unfolded two weeks ago Kim ran into the man when he held the door for her so she could walk into a furniture showroom in Beverly Hills - just before midday today.

'As Kim walked in, the guy allegedly said, 'F**k these fa**ot-ass n****rs' referring to the paparazzi,' TMZ reported.

The reality star told the young man that the N-word was not appropriate to use.

That's when the teenager turned on the TV star, screaming, 'F**k you bitch. Just trying to help you. Shut up n****r lover, stupid slut.'

A perturbed Kardashian allegedly phoned Kanye to tell him what was happening.

Then, according to TMZ, 'when the guy realised Kanye was on the phone he allegedly said, 'F**k you N****r.' - so that the rap star could hear.

However, just minutes later, an enraged Kanye arrived to meet up with Kim.

They stormed into the office and reportedly found the teen sitting there. 'Witnesses say Kanye punched the guy and Kim screamed, 'We have it all on tape'.

MailOnline has reached out to West's lawyer for comment.
