Kanye West is back to making headlines and why?

The American rapper and media’s blue-eyed scapegoat is making news for apparently delivering a few knocks and punches to a young man at a Beverly Hills office building.

Now the question is, is it an open display of hooliganism by the cool star or is there more to the assault than meets the eye?

Sources say that the 36-year-old rapper assaulted an 18-year-old teen who reportedly hurled racial slurs on his fiancée Kim Kardashian while she was on her way to a design appointment.

Beverly Hills officials are investigating the case.

"Kim and Kanye were meeting for an appointment today.  Kim arrived later than Kanye. En route into the building Kim saw a young man yelling racial slurs at the paparazzi. Kim told him he shouldn't use racial slurs and he turned on her and verbally assaulted her,” reveals sources.

But the young man wouldn’t stop. He told her to "shut the f--k up" before continuing to use the N-word while aiming his insults at Kim.

"The two ended up in a stairwell where the man was in her face and continued to verbally assault her," the insider added. "She was genuinely scared."

And that's when Yeezy stepped in and bashed up the boy black and blue.

"Kanye called her phone and she answered and the man continued yelling at her," the source continued. "Kanye overheard and came running down...he confronted the guy."

A second source adds that the rapper called Kim trying to find her because she was late to the appointment, and heard her “crying hysterically."

“The guy continued with the slurs," the source said. "He was in Kanye's face and wouldn't stop. He was taunting him. Police were called to the scene."

The young man was later seen leaving the medical building with a sweatshirt wrapped around his head.
