Kanye West will not face felony charges stemming from an incident at the Los Angeles International Airport earlier this month, it was announced today (September 26).

The rap star and his road manager were arrested there on September 11 after West got into a scuffle with a commercial photographer and allegedly damaged a camera worth more than $10,000.

Los Angeles County prosecutors said today they have declined to file felony charges against West. They are still determining whether to charge him with a misdemeanour, reports the Associated Press.
