Kanye West Sued for Assault
The lawsuit alleges that the attack continued even after the victim was on the ground, a claim West's representatives have previously denied.
This legal trouble comes as the rapper faces a potential ban from performing in France due to his past antisemitic remarks.
French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez is reportedly exploring legal options to block West's upcoming concert in Marseille.
The mounting controversies follow a similar ban in the United Kingdom, further complicating West's efforts to stage a global comeback.
