According to TMZ, Kanye West was involved in an altercation with paparazzi at LAX airport today. He apparently got upset at someone taking photos and smashed his camera to the ground, then his assistant approached a guy who was videotaping everything and broke his camera too. Kanye and his assistant were arrested and charged with felony vandalism:
Kanye West has just been arrested at LAX for felony vandalism.
A still photographer was trying to take pics of Kanye at the American Airlines terminal. According to our guy on the scene, Kanye allegedly confronted the photog and smashed his camera to the ground.
Our photog then began videotaping the scene when Kanye's assistant grabbed our camera -- a struggle ensued and the assistant threw the video camera to the ground, breaking it.
When Kanye realized our camera guy had videotaped the incident, he rushed our guy and yelled, "Gimme that f**king tape!"
Both Kanye and his assistant have been arrested and will be booked.
We have the tape and we will be posting video shortly.

I always get excited to watch these celebrity videos based on whatever TMZ says about how great they are, and nine times out of ten I end up disappointed. If there's some kind of fight or altercation it's usually hard to see as the camera person is running or the camera gets thrown down or something. I'll keep checking to see what footage they have though.
Before people go judging Kanye and calling him a hothead, which he may very well be, he may know this particular photographer and have a long-running beef or grudge with the guy that we don't know about. It's even possible the photographer made a really obnoxious comment about his deceased mom or something. I'm not saying Kanye is blameless if he and his staff member broke two cameras - there's no excuse for that. We don't know what happened though, and one thing you learn from watching those paparazzi videos is that they can say some super obnoxious inappropriate things to celebrities to try and get a reaction out of them. In Kanye's case it seems to have worked.

I'd bust a paparazzi's camera if they were in my face wrong, it's why i'm not a celebrity

Whatevs, paps gotta make a living too.
Celebs get a bunch of free crap and are mostly overpaid, why not let a few others cash in on them too?
Love many of Kanye's songs, but he had it coming. If he doesn't like the papp attention (and can't take them saying super obnoxious inappropriate things), perhaps he should find a new career.

Actions speak louder than words. Mr. West doesn't strike me as particularly intelligent nor disciplined.

TMZ are scummy, obnoxious, provocative lowlife. Don't care for Kanye West but also don't think someone has the right to be all up in someone else's face if they've asked them not to.

I really cannot stand this moron. You could tell him his shoe was untied and he'd go off. He looks stoned in the pictures.

Music aside, I can't stand Kanye. He's one of the showiest people around and he's complaining? UGH. No sympathy.
