Kanye West recently made headlines for allegedly punching a man in the face.

The incident happened earlier this week at the Chateau Marmont hotel, located in West Hollywood, California.

Why did West react the way he did? It has been reported that the musician’s actions were in response to the man assaulting his wife, Bianca Censori. “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,” a representative for the rapper told TMZ. “She was battered and sexually assaulted.”

The outlet also reported that West was being investigated by the police on a battery report. When the initial reports came out, the man was not named, but now TMZ reports that he is a well-known restaurant owner in Los Angeles (although the situation gets a little more complicated because he also has a twin).

Who Is The Man That Kanye West Allegedly Punched?

Following the reports of the incident, TMZ claimed that the alleged victim did not need medical attention for his injuries. Although it was unclear who this unnamed man was, in a new report, the outlet has stated that twins Mark and Jonnie Houston were involved in the incident. They are well-known in the food industry and are believed to own several restaurants, including No Vacancy, Davey Wayne’s, Break Room 86, and Black Rabbit Rose.

The claims made by West’s team and the staff at Chateau Marmont hotel also differ. According to the outlet, the staff claim what happened to Bianca Censori, “is totally off base and simply not accurate.” Instead, they offer a contrasting scenario. “A man accidentally bumped into Bianca in the hotel lobby, which they say was busy at the time,” the sources said. The publication claimed it “happened quickly,” and the man went outside to join his friends. It was then that West approached him.

It was not confirmed what was said between Kanye and the man, but the rapper is believed to have punched him. But the man he punched is not even the man who was involved in the incident with his wife because he is reportedly a twin. At present, it is not clear which of the twins, Mark and Jonnie Houston, was punched, but he was reportedly hit twice.

Is Kanye West Under Police Investigation For Punching Someone?

There have been conflicting reports about what happened between Kanye West, Bianca Censori, and twins Mark and Jonnie Houston earlier this week. While some websites have published articles suggesting West is under police investigation, his chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, has denied this. In a statement to Billboard, Yiannopoulos claimed the Praise God rapper was not part of a Los Angeles Police Department report. “There is no such thing. No police report was filed. There is no suspect because there is no investigation,” he said.

However, law enforcement sources told TMZ they were unable to find evidence that would confirm West’s version of events and what happened to his wife. The incident is believed to be still under investigation, but the outlet claims that West left the venue before the police showed up. They claim West is “a suspect in a battery report, and police say they wanna talk to him.”

It is not clear if the case will be taken any further.
