Kanye West has completed the court-ordered community service imposed as a result of his run-in with a photographer outside Los Angeles International Airport in 2013.

The rapper completed the required 250 hours handed down by a LA judge in the fashion design program at the Los Angeles Trade Technical College.

At a hearing Tuesday, according to TMZ, his lawyer Blair Berk presented a glowing letter from the college's Dean praising the Yeezy designer for his contributions to the higher education institution and its students.
