ONE PUNCH... TEEN VICTIM SIX FIGURE SETTLEMENT FROM KANYE WEST

I'm sorry but we would take a punch with that type of payout.  Kanye West has agreed to pay more than $250,000 to the kid who he allegedly beat up in a Beverly Hills chiropractor office earlier this month.

The 36-year-old rapper became the focus of a battery investigation after he reportedly chased the 18-year-old into a chiropractor's office and punched him after the teen apparently hurled racial slurs at Kim Kardashian like we previously reported.

During settlement negotiations, the man tried to demand payment in the upper six figures, but ended up accepting around $250,000.

 While the District Attorney has not yet decided whether to charge Kanye with battery, if he does go ahead it will be harder to prove his guilt without a willing witness.  TMZ also reports the alleged racial abuse by the victim means jurors won’t mean sympathetic to him.
