Kanye West sued for battery after alleged April 2024 attack at Chateau Marmont.

Rapper Ye is facing a civil lawsuit alleging he sucker-punched a man at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles in April 2024. The plaintiff claims he was knocked unconscious and struck repeatedly while on the ground, resulting in injuries and emotional distress. The suit alleges the attack stemmed from a belief that the man had touched Ye's wife, though the plaintiff denies the accusation and suggests video evidence supports his version.
