A video shot by the gossip website TMZ appeared to show Mr West smashing the camera while inside the airport terminal.

Road manager Dan Crawley was also charged on two counts of assault, two counts of theft and two counts of vandalism.

The star, who is due to headline the Wireless² festival on 5 July, could face two and a half years in jail if convicted while Mr Crawley could face up to five years in prison.

Lawyer Blair Berk declined（降低，婉谢） to comment on the plea.
