Kanye West allegedly punched a man in the face after he “physically assaulted” the rapper's partner Bianca Censori.

In the early morning hours of Tuesday, April 17, the rapper, 46, and his "wife" were at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles when a man allegedly pushed Censori, 29, according to a Los Angeles Police Department report obtained by TMZ.

In a statement shared with multiple outlets, a rep for West said that Censori was “physically assaulted” by a man.

“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,” the statement alleged. “She was battered and sexually assaulted."

The rapper was previously named as a suspect in a battery report in January 2022, an LAPD source confirmed to PEOPLE at the time. Days later, West admitted to punching a man who was “taking autographs to make money on them,” in an episode of Hollywood Unlocked.

“This is the same as the paparazzi, this is not a fan. This is someone who is using your image, who probably never listened to your songs," he said, admitting he got “into an altercation with the guy.”
