Kanye West Arrested at LAX
Kanye West is flexing that bad attitude muscle again --- and, this time, it's gotten him in big trouble.
The rapper was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport Thursday morning after allegedly smashing a photographer's camera.
"Mr. West was arrested at 7:51 a.m. outside the passenger screening area by airport police on charges of vandalism," a spokesman for LAX told People.com. "Initial reports say this incident involved a paparazzo and a camera valued at more than $10,000."
"In addition, Mr. West's [road manager] was arrested for vandalism and battery," the rep said. "Several witnesses are being interviewed by police. West and his bodyguard are being transported to an LAPD station where they're expected to be booked."
In addition, a videographer for TMZ.com who was a witness said that once Kanye figured out he was being photographed, he "rushed the photog and grabbed his camera...threw it to the ground, breaking it into pieces."
Then Kanye's road manager approached the TMZ videographer and "grabbed [his] camera, ripped off the mic and viewfinder and smashed it to the ground."
TMZ has video of the incident -- which might be a little problem for Kanye.

Listen Notorious Rambo, it's their job to make this nothings into something. Something that everybody wants to know about. Why else are you in this website. I saw the video and I've never liked Kanye in any way. I hope he's boycotted. I suggest TMZ ignores this A$@&*$hole for ever making him into a has been. I hope he spends a good year in jail. I really hate him.

PEACE N THE MIDDLE EAST
I wish that they would put this little smug a$$hole in jail for at least 30 days to wipe that smug grin off his face. Jerks like Kanye, who think that they are above the law deserve to get a smack down and make it hurt. Hey I would love to see his ugly a$$ in jail stripes picking up trash on the road doing community service. Maybe he just might be a bit more humble and respectful after a good beat down on him. I would LMAO!!!!!!
They need to leave these people alone they all are human beings an just because they have a little money doesnt mean anything. If he doesnt want to be photographed then they should respect that. An for the dumb bitch that said they need to put him in jail let me see u become a rap superstar an then u will see what they have to go threw just because they're trying to board a plan or come home after a tour u dont know whats going on with him
Listen being in the music business is hard work..... Some people wouldn't know how hard it is to sell a CD or better yet and individual to a record label or even radio station. Like Deb & Suzie that wishes for the downfall of a man who works hard for what he has accomplished thus far! .... It's people like you that don't understand the struggles of Artists, A&R's, Managers, Vocal Coaches, and the families of all these people who LOVE THE ART OF MUSIC... Like myself...who enjoys what I do... I have had the pleasure of meeting Kanye West and his managent team which I most say have done an excellent job... So suzie & Deb you don't know what it is like to have been up for three plus days or more with little to no sleep to walk into LAX or Any other place... To have people taking your picture and saying slick stuff out of their mouths to you while taking your picture after you already told them not too. keep in mind it is 7:00 in the morning you haven't slept since monday because you been doing shows, guest appearance at diffferent events maybe two or three events in one night, by the time you get back to your hotel room you have what an hour or two not even to sleep and get to the next city.. For 9am because you have radio stations you have to go in that city then you have to get ready for your show which starts at 7pm but you have be there to do mic check to make sure everything works okay so people who like Kanye can say his preformance was excellent! Then your day starts all over again... So when you run into paparazzi's who you told not to take your picture nomerse amount of times and TMZ is video taping you ( which for all who don't know is a crime) when you tell somebody not to take a picture/video. You would act just like kanye and his manager...because see what they didn't show is when he was telling to stop nicely. They never show the GOOD he does, always the BAD.... Too Kanye this too shall pass and you take this and learn from it! Live and Let Live! Too All the people In The Music Business like my self Stay Bless & True KIM!
i think kanye west did that for security and who knows what the camera man wants to photo him for, perhaps its was a setup to tarnish his reputation,lawsuing has now become a money making machine for usa citizens and lawyer and others
