Fast foward to today, the victim decided not to press any charges against Kanye, instead asked for monetary compensation. According to TMZ, the victim and Kanye have finally come to an agreement and settled the issue out of court. The the victim agreed not to go ahead with the prosecution, scoring more than $250,000 for a settlement. Yes , you read that right!

Here's what TMZ gathered from the case:

Sources familiar with the negotiations tell us ... the young man who allegedly hurled racial epithets at Kim earlier this month has agreed to the civil settlement and now feels satisfied enough that he does NOT want to go forward with a criminal prosecution.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... the D.A. has not decided whether to charge Kanye with battery. The reality is ... there's almost no chance of that happening.  First, the D.A. now has an uncooperative victim.  Second, the victim's alleged racial epithets will not sit well with the jury.  And there are probably lots of Kanye fans in the jury pool.

We're told during the settlement negotiations the victim's demand soared to the upper 6 figures, so $250K is just a fraction.
