West was arrested on September 11 after the airport altercation in which West and his manager Don Crawley "confronted, and engaged in an altercation with, two photographers," the LA attorney's office said in a statement.
Crawley, 33, was also charged on two counts of battery, two counts of theft and two counts of vandalism, and faces a possible five years in prison.
The incident was caught on video tape, widely viewed on the Internet, which shows West and Crawley wrestling camera equipment from photographers and smashing it on the ground.
The two men are set for arraignment in Los Angeles on April 14.
The incident took place early in the morning as West prepared to board an airplane, while paparazzi tried to photograph and film him.
Reports at the time found the camera equipment was valued at over 10,000 dollars. Police arrested West as he tried to board his plane.
West has won nine Grammy awards and raked in 21 million dollars on sales of his three albums, "The College Dropout" (2004), "Late Registration" (2005) and "Graduation" (2007).
