| Kanye West has been sentenced to two years of probation, 250 hours community service and anger management sessions according to the Mirror |
Judge ruled that the controversial rapper will NOT get special treatment after he entered a no contest plea to a misdemeanour count of battery
The rapper must also attend anger management
Kanye West will have to swap his leather jogging pants for overalls after he was ordered to perform 250 hours community service.
The controversial rapper was sentenced to two years of probation and must also attend 24 private anger management sessions, a judge ruled.
West’s lawyer entered a no contest plea on his behalf to a misdemeanour count of battery against a photographer following an incident at LAX airport last summer.
A contest plea is treated the same as a guilty plea for purposes of the sentencing.
Judge Alan Rubin also sentenced West to serve two years’ probation for the misdemeanour battery conviction.
Adding that he will also review the community service to ensure the rap megastar receives no special treatment.
However a lawyer representing the victim Daniel Ramos blasted the judge telling him West should be thrown into jail.

The legal rep also demanded the detail of West’s community service should be made public.
"I was only doing my job, and he broke the law," Ramos said. "I believe that if I did what he did to me, I would have been put behind bars."
West was faced with the possibility of jail and a difficult trial unless he accepted the plea deal from prosecutors which included probation.
The incident was caught on camera and shows West rushing at a photographer and attempting to wrestle his camera from his hands in a 15-seconds scuffle.
Ramos falls to the ground in the video and sustained injuries to his hip. His lawyer Gloria Allred has filed a civil suit against West on behalf of the photographer.
It comes after West avoided criminal charges by reaching a civil settlement with a man he was accused of assaulting outside a Beverly Hills chiropractor’s office.
