Kanye West has unexpectedly received fans’ support amid reports of a battery investigation involving Kanye West and an unnamed man. Known for his controversial statements, West is reportedly under investigation as a suspect in a battery incident for allegedly striking a man who had grabbed his wife, Bianca Censori, earlier this week.
However, West’s representatives have disclosed that his actions were provoked by the man allegedly harassing his wife. The revelation has prompted fans to express their solidarity with the rapper, acknowledging his efforts to defend his wife in the situation.
Kanye West Suspected in Battery Report After Allegedly Defending His Wife
Kanye West has reportedly found himself entangled in some legal troubles after he defended his wife Bianca Censori. Reports have stated that a man allegedly physically and s*xually assaulted the 29-year-old Australian model in Los Angeles.
A statement released by West’s team described the incident as more than just a simple grab, alleging that she was “battered and s*xually assaulted.” The statement claims that the assailant physically assaulted Bianca by putting his hands under her dress, grabbing her waist, spinning her around, and blowing her kisses.
The statement states,
“Grabbed’ is grossly inadequate as a description of what happened. Bianca was physically assaulted. 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.”
TMZ reports that the couple left the scene, and the alleged victim did not require medical treatment for injuries. Authorities are reportedly seeking to reach out to the Runaway hitmaker for his account of the events.
Support Surges for Kanye West Amid Alleged Battery Investigation
This is not the first time Kanye West has been involved in such altercations. The rapper has been named a suspect in a battery investigation earlier for grabbing a photographer’s phone and throwing it in an intersection in 2023.
Earlier this year, he was sued for assault and battery after allegedly striking a man who approached him for an autograph in downtown L.A. back in 2022. Fans have consistently voiced their disapproval of such actions from the music star for obvious reasons.
However, the recent incident involving his wife’s defense has stirred a different reaction among fans. Many took to social media to express their support for West, arguing that he was simply fulfilling his role as a husband by protecting his wife. “They are calling the wrong person a suspect,” one fan said, reacting to the news.
Man.. They are calling the wrong person a suspect. Kanye West is also a victim of the crook.

Others also joined in the conversation, arguing that they would have also done the same. Although the arguments are not wrong, it still doesn’t excuse him from being a suspect in the battery investigation. However, fans are standing firmly behind the rapper and sharing their full support.
