Ye's latest antics have landed him under an investigation by Ventura County law enforcement.
The disgraced rapper and fashion designer was recently caught on video taking a woman's cellphone and throwing it into the street while she attempted to record him.
Both Ye and the woman were in their vehicles when they were stopped at a red light in Newbury Park in Southern California. Upon stopping, Ye exited his vehicle and approached the woman.
He can be heard saying:
"Y'all ain't gonna run up on me like that. If I say stop."
In response, the woman said:
"I wasn't running."
Ye then scolded:
"Stop with your cameras."
As the woman attempted to get out the words, "I know but you're a celebrity," Ye grabbed the woman's phone from her hand and launched it down the street.
According to TMZ, he then returned to his vehicle and drove off before deputies arrived on the scene.
You can watch the interaction below.

Some viewers of the video sided with Ye and his desire for privacy, especially since the woman continued recording after he asked her to stop.

Hey ye if you need someone to be secret security I'll gladly throw the paparazzi phones across the street.
You asked them nicely to stop.

Ye must throw away these phones and cameras until it gets through their mind to leave that man alone when he says so. He will pay for the phone and move on, its not like he will be paying them and making them rich anyway.

I will also throw your phone if you record me and I don't want to be recorded ... idc I love it. Ye! Report me sue me but you ain't getting anything. Lol Lessons to be learned right here... š

Honestly whatās the point of her continuing to record. Just because heās a celebrity doesnāt mean she has a right to do that. Leave the guy alone.
Sheās only filing a report because itās him. She wouldnāt do all this to random guy on street.

Others said the circumstances don't matter, you can't just take and hurl someone's phone.
That's not how it works even if it was illegal, you don't take the phone and throw it away.
Ye isn't an enforcer of law, he is a normal citizen.
What law is being broken when you record somone without there permission in public?
ā SkyGlitcher (@SkyGIitcher) January 29, 2023
There is no expectation of privacy in public. That applies to celebrities as well.

Sorry but you people think he is a God. He ain't and what he did was destruction of property. She has every right to sue him. If you want to go with her filming him you have people who chase celebrities around doing the same thing

He committed battery by doing that. I wonder if heāll be arrested? He could serve about a year because itās a misdemeanor. Weāll see what happens. Whatās his problem? He used to be kinda cool.
ā Sandy Savage (@SandySa48608217) January 28, 2023
That wasnāt cool by any means

A law enforcement source told TMZ that Ye is now under investigation as a battery suspect, but no arrests have been made. No injuries were reported from the incident.
