However, Ye and Bianca have made headlines for a completely different reason. That's because the Yeezy mogul has been named as a suspect in a Los Angeles battery report while defending his wife from a man who reportedly groped her. Let's take a closer look at the allegations.
Ye is reportedly a suspect in a Los Angeles battery report.
Los Angeles Police Department sources told TMZ that the LAPD is investigating Ye following an incident on April 16. Late Tuesday night, the rapper allegedly punched a man in the face after he reportedly "pushed or grabbed" Bianca. The alleged incident happened at the Chateau Marmont Hotel on Sunset Boulevard, Fox 11 reported.
Police are reportedly looking to speak with Ye.
Following the altercation, Ye and Bianca reportedly left the scene. The alleged victim reportedly did not need treatment for injuries. However, the LAPD plans to reach out to Ye for a statement and will speak to witnesses.
A rep for Ye issued a statement.
A representative for Ye issued a statement about the alleged incident. They claimed that "'grabbed' is grossly inadequate as a description of what happened," per TMZ. "Bianca was physically assaulted."
The man allegedly put his hands under Bianca's dress.
Ye's rep further elaborated on the alleged assault. "The assailant didn't merely collide into her. He put his hands under her dress, directly on her body, he grabbed her waist, he spun her around, and then he blew her kisses," they told TMZ. "She was battered and sexually assaulted."
Bianca and Ye were spotted at Disneyland before the alleged incident.
Earlier on Tuesday, Bianca and Kanye enjoyed a date at Disneyland. They were photographed walking around together while holding hands. Notably, Bianca was barefoot while wearing a beige bodysuit with a tan piece of fabric covering the front. Ye donned a white hoodie with sweatpants and sneakers.
Ye previously had an altercation with a paparazza.
Unfortunately, Ye has been involved in a previous battery investigation. Video footage of the rapper grabbing a woman's phone and throwing it into the street at an intersection widely circulated in 2023. No criminal charges were filed, Page Six reported.
