Kanye West has broken his silence over his recent altercation at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, which led to him becoming a suspect in a battery case.
In an attempt to set the record straight while appearing on Justin LaBoy’s The Download podcast, the 46-year-old rapper explained he got physical with a man, who he believed inappropriately touched his wife Bianca Censori.
After finding the man, who he alleged ‘grabbed’ his spouse, the father-of-four, who said he did not see the incident happen, said he told the man to ‘leave right now.’
‘I talked to the guy and said, ‘You just, you need to leave right now, and he was like, ‘Oh, ‘it’s okay.’ And, it’s like, no, it’s not okay,” the Stronger hitmaker recalled. ‘It wasn’t okay.’

On Monday, a 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.
