Rapper Kanye West has been ordered to complete 50 hours of community service as a result of a scuffle with a photographer at LA International airport on 11 September 2008.
West has been cleared of criminal charges and did not appear in court but had entered a plea of not guilty to charges of assault, theft and vandalism.
He and his manager, Don Crawley, were arrested after apparently breaking a photographer’s camera flash.
Mr Crawley was also charged on two counts of assault, two counts of theft and two counts of vandalism. Both men have subsequently completed an anger management course.
West’s lawyer, Blair Berk, said the case was “wildly overcharged” and that it should be dismissed in the interests of justice, fairness and common sense.
It is believed that West managed to reach a civil settlement over the case. Those little temper tantrums can be costly!
Last month he had to make an apology after his outrageous conduct at the MTV Video Music Awards when he stormed on stage and interrupted Taylor Swift acceptance speech.
