Kanye West News: 'Watch the Throne' Rapper To Be Sued?

Kanye West is facing a lawsuit by a photographer he attacked last month, TMZ reported Wednesday.

The photographer will be represented by Gloria Allred who has been involved in many high profile cases. The district attorney is still deciding whether or not to file charges criminal against West for his actions. A civil complaint would make the likelihood greater.

Allred has a press conference scheduled on the matter in the afternoon. West has not publicly commented on the threat of litigation but Kris Jenner has sung the praises of the Watch the Throne rapper. In an interview with Extra on Tuesday, Jenner spoke highly of the 36-year-old.

West and Jenner's daughter, Kim Kardashian, welcomed their daughter North in June. Since the birth, the couple has been staying with Jenner in her California home.

"We live together. He's my roommate, and he is so clean. He is such a great member of my family," Jenner said.

West is also set to make an appearance on Jenner's show this upcoming Friday. It has been rumored that West will unveil the first picture of North. Jenner said that the couple had no plans on selling the first pictures of the newborn.

"They just want to be nesting right now. They're not thinking about business," she said.
