Kanye West could be off the hook following his alleged attack on a photographer at LAX last week.

Cops had reportedly labeled the case a felony attempted robbery – not an assault – after the shutterbug alleged that West was trying to steal his camera.

However, TMZ claims that the District Attorney won’t charge the “I Am God” rapper with attempted robbery due to the lack of evidence backing up the fotog’s claim.

The gossip site adds that the case would then be handed to LA City Attorney for a possible criminal battery prosecution. However, West is reportedly willing to buy his way out, or what is legally referred to as a “civil compromise,” according to TMZ.

Last week, footage surfaced of West confronting a fotog and wrestling him to the ground outside the Los Angeles airport. LAPD said that the paparazzo was taken to a local hospital after paramedics arrived on the scene.

Page Six has reached out to West’s rep for comment.
