Kanye West has reportedly settled with the 18-year-old man that berated his fiancée Kim Kardashian outside of a Beverly Hills doctor's office. TMZ reports, The 18-year-old, who Kanye is accused of punching in the face, has accepted a civil settlement of more than $250,000.  The teen is said to be satisfied with the settlement and as of now has no desire to pursue criminal prosecution.

The Los Angeles County D.A. Office has not decided if they will charge Kanye with battery.

Update: Kanye West will not be prosecuted for battery. The L.A. County District Attorney's Office has declined to prosecute the rapper since 1) West and the 18-year-old victim have reached a "civil compromise" and 2) the victim has become uncooperative and refuses to speak to prosecutors.
