Kanye West will not face charges for throwing a female photographer's cellphone after he accused her of 'following' him to his kids' basketball game back in January.

According to TMZ, the Ventura Co. District Attorney's Office revealed Wednesday that the cellphone had only suffered 'minor damage' to its $30 protective case.

The woman whose property was damaged then declined to press charges against West, 45.

The outlet reported at the time of the incident that police were called to the scene, provided with video evidence and later named West as a suspect in a battery case.

The video, which was shared to social media, appeared to show West having a heated back-and-forth with the female photog before grabbing her cellphone from her and tossing it aside.

He was en route to his daughter North , nine, and son Saint's, seven, basketball game in LA when the alleged incident occurred on Friday, January 28.

The Flashing Lights hitmaker, who seemingly suspected he was being followed by paparazzi, is seen exiting his black Mercedes-Benz to allegedly confront the female in her vehicle.

His new 'wife' Bianca Censori was seen in the passenger's seat of his car and did not follow the Grammy Award-winner. 

The woman filmed West from the driver's seat as he said: 'You didn't have to run up on me like that. 

'If I say stop, stop with your cameras!' Kanye continued, before the woman suggested she was within her rights to film him because he is a 'celebrity.'

The response may have angered Kanye as he allegedly grabbed the woman's cellphone from her hand before tossing it into the air.

It's unclear as to what led to the confrontation but it was said to have taken place near the sports facility where his children were scheduled to have their game.

West's ex-wife Kim Kardashian, 42, was also present at that night's game as she was captured arriving with her sister Khloe Kardashian's ex Tristan Thompson, 32.

According to TMZ , the Ventura Co. District Attorney's Office revealed Wednesday that the cellphone had only suffered 'minor damage' to its $30 protective case. The woman whose property was damaged then declined to press charges against West, 45; seen in 2020

Page Six reported that it wasn't the only time West asked to be left alone thatday. 

The publication noted that after he returned to his vehicle, he then stopped in front of a group of paparazzi who had been recording the entire ordeal.

'You want me to be running up on your kids’ games like that?' the superstar asked a pap, who then replied, 'There's a hundred of us.'

Ye then pleaded, 'Everybody needs to stop when I see my kids. If I need to see my kids, you can’t photograph me. It's called human rights.'

West shares North and Saint, as well as daughter Chicago, five, and son Psalm, three, with ex-wife Kim, who split from the Grammy Award-winner in February 2021.

They were married for nearly seven years and only just finalized their divorce in November.

It was agreed that Kim will receive $200,000 in child support wired into her account monthly. They will also share joint custody and have 'equal access' to their four kids.

Under terms of the agreement, West will be responsible for 50 percent of the educational and security expenses for the four kids, according to TMZ.

West and Kim agreed to attend mediation should they have a parenting disagreement, according to the outlet. Should one not attend the session, the attending parent will get to make the decision on the topic at hand. 

Kim previously confessed that co-parenting with West has been 'really f***ing hard' and that she's done her best to shield their brood from the rapper's controversies, particularly his anti-Semitic rants that cost him his business empire last year.

To the shock of fans, it was revealed in January that West had married his Yeezy employee Bianca Censori, 27, who joined the company in November 2020.

She is listed as Head of Architecture and secured the position after obtaining a Master's in building design at Melbourne University in Australia. 

Despite the wedding ceremony, the union isn't legal because the pair do not appear to have filed a marriage certificate, DailyMail.com reported at the time.

The duo have been photographed wearing wedding bands since the story broke, though knowledge about how long the pair had been dating remains unclear.
