Explore Business Standard

Kanye West has reached an agreement with the Beverly Hills teenager, who was beaten up by the rapper because he had called his fiance Kim Kardashian the 'N-word,' after offering him over 250,000 dollars.
Sources told TMZ.com that the unidentified male has agreed to the six-figure civil settlement and feels satisfied enough that he does not want to go forward with a criminal prosecution.
Meanwhile, law enforcement insiders told the gossip site that during the negotiations the victim's demand soared to the upper 6 figures.
