A source tells PEOPLE, "They all had dinner in the private dining room. They came separately but just ended up having dinner together. Kanye and Julia wouldn't leave each other's sides."
In 2014, the rapper was arrested for "assaulting" a photographer at Los Angeles International Airport. According to the BBC, the photographer accused West of punching him and grabbing his camera.
At the time, he was sentenced to 250 hours of community service, two years probation and 24 anger management sessions, according to the outlet.
Similarly, West was arrested in 2008 for vandalism and battery over an altercation with photographers at the same airport where he allegedly damaged a camera. He was later released on $20,000 bail, and the case was dismissed after he paid for the photographers' broken equipment attended anger management counseling.
