As we previously reported, the former NBA star was arrested last week for an alleged drunken incident with cops. West was stopped by police in Boynton Beach, FL, on Oct. 19 after officers say he was yelling, cursing, and banging on a local police station’s doors. Cops say he was holding two open containers of alcohol at the time so they ordered him to the ground. It was said that officers needed to point a taser at the former NBA player while ordering him to get down on the ground and comply. He eventually listened and was told he was being detained for “open container and resisting.” However, that’s when West went on a lengthy, rambling rant that included anti-gay rhetoric.
In the newly released clip, West repeatedly used the f-word, as cops tried to search him. He also claimed he was Jesus Christ and the President of the United States. West, who has battled substance abuse issues in the past, also said during his rant: “N****, I was better than LeBron James. I’m better than Jordan. I was the best n**** to play every sport. Shut the f*** up,” he said while speaking to cops.
West was ultimately slapped with three charges over the incident. That includes obstruction/resisting without violence, open container and disorderly intoxication, TMZ reports. He’s due in court for a hearing on the case next month.
