AceShowbiz - Kanye West passed his court-ordered community service with flying colors. The rapper completed the mandate which required him to teach at fashion school Los Angeles Trade Technical College.
The required 250 hours of service was the result of his scuffle with a photographer outside LAX in 2013. Daniel Ramos filed an assault and battery lawsuit against the "Black Skinhead" rapper and West was sentenced to two years of probation, 24 anger management therapy sessions and 250 hours of community service. They settled the lawsuit in April this year.
On Tuesday, September 15 hearing, West's lawyer Blair Berk presented a letter from the college's dean who praised West for his contributions to the fashion design program and its students. "The contribution of the hands-on community service Mr. West has completed with our school has been of great benefit to our students and program," the letter said according to TMZ.
West even completed 12 extra hours. He attended the fashion students' final runway show in May and gave a speech at the event. "It's a tough world out there," he said. "You're going to prepare yourself for politics, bad bosses, hating employees, and usually when you're the absolute best, you get hated on the most."
The rapper was not in the courtroom on Tuesday. He is still on probation that will come to an end in March 2016.
