Kanye West has broke his silence and recently joked about the physical altercation he had with a man who reportedly touched his wife, Bianca Censori, inappropriately.
“He had to go to bed early. [I] tucked this n–a in,” the rapper explained to Justin Laboy on his new podcast ‘The Download.’ Ye then began laughing and stated again “he had to go to bed early.” As we previously reported, West reportedly got into a physical altercation with a man, identified as either Mark Houston or Jonnie Houston, twin brothers known for their hospitality, while at Chateau Marmont with Censori.

While explaining the story West admitted that he didn’t see the incident himself but his wife told him that the man “grabbed” her. “I didn’t see it directly, and [Censori] started just explaining to me what happened, so then I walked over and found him,” West said. Ye says he attempted to get security to remove the guy from the premises but the business man wasn’t taking Kanye serious and told him that it was “Ok.” Which Kanye responded by saying, “No it’s not OK,” and then allegedly punched him.
TMZ interviewed sources on Saturday who disputed the rapper’s version of the incident. The insiders stated that either Mark or Johnnie accidentally bumped into Censori, and West reportedly struck the wrong twin who was not even part of the altercation.
“He actually ended up punching the wrong dude,” a source explained to TMZ. The outlet also cited police sources, claiming they hadn’t “been able to dig up evidence that backs Kanye’s account.”
“We find it absolutely disgusting that any journalist would choose not to believe a woman when she tells them about a sexual assault committed against her,” the Yeezy chief of staff told Page Six in an exclusive interview. “But of course, you don’t have to take Bianca’s word for it. The hotel assembled its own detailed incident report. Drawing on eyewitness testimony from staffers and video surveillance footage, the report says Bianca was ‘handled’ by an assailant who ‘eventually let go.’”
He concluded, “This was a physical, sexual assault and any attempt to undermine the seriousness of what happened is repellent and vile.”
Despite Kanye making jokes about the incident, authorities are still investigating the alleged altercation and he is still a suspect in the battery case.
