The teenager, who Kanye West assaulted recently, has demanded a six-figure sum to drop his case against the rapper.
West allegedly punched the unnamed, abusive 18-year-old after he called his fiancee Kim Kardashian a "n***** lover".
According to a source, the victim has offered to settle out of court in exchange for an estimated 250,000 pounds, the Daily Star reported.
Apparently, West is said to be "negotiating" with him.
The source said that the teen's lawyer called West's people and expressed the desire to strike a civil settlement for several hundred thousand dollars.
West, who is already facing an assault charge for allegedly attacking a photographer, is said to be desperate to avoid another lawsuit.
