It’s been a hell of a week for rapper Kanye West!

On Monday he was sentenced to two years on probation, 24 anger

management therapy sessions and 250 hours of community service after an

altercation with photographer Daniel Ramos in July 2014. The rap star pleaded

no contest, entered the plea through his attorney and did not attend the court

hearing. Kanye failed to reach a civil settlement with the paparazzo.

According to Ramos, West punched him in an unprovoked attack and wrestled

his camera to the ground. The prosecution is said to have seven different videos

depicting the scuffle.

This is not the first case of this type for West – the rapper was arrested in

September 2008 for another clash with photographers inside a terminal at LAX,

but got away with it and the cases were dismissed after he completed anger

management treatment and agreed to reimburse the photographers for the

broken equipment.

Earlier this year, Kanye reached a civil settlement with a man who accused him

in assault at a Beverly Hills medical office. According to the case documents

the 18-year-old man used a racial slur in an argument with West’s boo Kim

Kardashian and she called West, who attacked the man in a chiropractor’s

office.

cover of April’s Vogue USA magazine.The shot, on which you can see Kanye
