A new report has claimed that Kanye West actually punched the wrong man days after the rapper was named a battery suspect after an incident in Los Angeles.
The 46-year-old rapper was at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles on Wednesday, where he got into an altercation with a man his girlfriend Bianca Censori claims assaulted her.
The new report surfaced on TMZ, claiming West punched one half of a set of twins who own numerous L.A. bars and restaurants… adding West actually punched the wrong one.
The twins are Mark and Jonnie Houston, who own L.A. hotspots such as No Vacancy, Good Times at Davey Wayne’s, Black Rabbit Rose, and Break Room 86.
West and Censori are claiming that Censori bumped into one of the brothers and that he proceeded to assault her.
However, sources are claiming there is no evidence to back up those claims, with TMZ’s sources calling Censori’s allegations, ‘totally off base and simply not accurate.’
Sources claim that a man bumped into Censori in the Chateau Marmont lobby, which was said to be quite busy at that time.
The incident happened quickly and the man went on his way, heading outside to sit with some friends.
Shortly thereafter, West came up to the table to confront the man, ultimately punching the man in the face.
However, West apparently hit the wrong man – the other twin and not the one who bumped into his girlfriend in the lobby.
It isn’t clear at this time which of the twins ran into Censori and which one was ultimately punched by West.
The Houston twins are said to frequent the Chateau Marmont quite a bit though it’s unclear if they’ve interacted with West before.
The rapper left the hotel after the incident, long before police arrived, with cops reportedly wanting to talk to West after the altercation.
West reportedly punched the wrong brother two times, with law enforcement sources failing to find any evidence that one of the brothers assaulted Censori in any way.
An investigation is underway, and it will be sent to the City Attorney for review to see if any official charges will be filed.
Despite no evidence being found, West’s team is adamant that Censori was assaulted that night.
‘This was a physical, sexual assault and any attempt to undermine the seriousness of what happened is repellent and vile,’ one of Kanye’s reps said in a statement.
