Kanye West will reportedly be paying 150,000 pounds to the teenager he is accused of beating up for calling his fiance a "n***** lover".

The 36-year-old rapper, who feared he could face a jail sentence because of a previous court appearance, has been forced to agree to pay off the jobless teenager to avoid being hauled to court on an assault charge, the Daily Star reported.

According to witnesses, West had slapped the18-year-old more than 30 times at a Los Angeles chiropractor's office after being provoked by his vile racist tirade directed towards Kim Kardashian.
