Kanye West has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanour battery
and attempted grand theft in a case filed over a scuffle with a celebrity
photographer earlier this year.
Attorney Blair Berk entered the plea on the rapper's behalf on
Thursday in a Los Angeles court.
Mr West was charged with two misdemeanours in September over
a July altercation with paparazzo Daniel Ramos at Los Angeles International
Airport.
Prosecutors declined to file felony charges against West,
but decided to pursue the misdemeanours.
He faces up to a year in jail if convicted of both charges
or a $1,000 fine.
Ramos claims West punched him in an unprovoked attack and
wrestled his camera to the ground on July 19.
The case is due back in court on Jan. 23.
