No charges will be filed against Kanye West for alleged criminal battery near DTLA nightclub

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, will not face charges following allegations that he punched a person outside a nightclub in downtown Los Angeles.

The alleged incident took place on Jan. 13 following a heated exchange outside the SoHo Warehouse near South Santa Fe Avenue and Bay Street.
