Kanye West sued for allegedly punching and disfiguring autograph seeker

Kanye West is being sued for ᴀssault and battery over an alleged 2022 incident that left a man disfigured.

Per court documents obtained by TMZ on Wednesday, Justin Poplawski is claiming West punched him repeatedly after he asked the controversial rapper for an autograph.

The alleged victim claimed that on Jan. 13, 2022, he was waiting outside a H๏τel to get West’s autograph when the “Heartless” rapper told him to “Go the f—k [out of] here before I beat you the f—k up.”

The 46-year-old then allegedly threatened to “make a f—king example out of” Poplawski.oplawski, who had previously gotten West’s signature without any issues, alleged that the fashion designer then struck him and asked, “So do you want to get attacked for real?”

The father of four, 46, then allegedly struck him several times more, “severely injuring him,” after the autograph dealer requested an apology for the first blow.

The “Donda” rapper then allegedly told one of his ᴀssociates to “go to the f—king house and get my f—king kids” — despite them urging him to stop.

The alleged victim is now seeking an unspecified amount of damages to cover the medical bills due to his alleged disfigurement, lost earnings and mental pain and suffering

West later shared his side of the story in an interview with Jason Lee for “Hollywood Unlocked,” explaining that Poplawski “wasn’t a fan” but rather someone “taking autographs to make money on them.”

“It was 3 a.m. in front of the warehouse,” West recalled. “And this dude just, he just had this real atтιтude, like, ‘Whatchu gonna do? And see that?’ Imma just tell you, that blue COVID mask ain’t stop that knockout, you know what I’m saying.”
