Kanye West has been cleared of criminal charges stemming from a run-in with a photographer at the LA International Airport last year.
Kanye, who had plead not guilty of the charges, had a scuffle with a paparazzo on September 11 last year. He had been charged with assault, theft and vandalism of property.
According to the BBC, Kanye will have to complete 50 hours of community service as part of a deal resulting in the charges being dropped. It is also speculated that the rapper and the photographer have reached a settlement in a civil case.
Kanye was arrested along with his road manager when the incident occurred after taking the photographer's video camera and smashing it.
