Kanye Talks About Arrest Last Week

by REIGN

MONDAY NOVEMBER 17, 2008

The paparazzi's favorite rapper, Kanye West, speaks about his arrest last Friday in London after yet another confrontation with a photographer outside of a club. In his blog, West wrote, “I am protecting my personal space since there are no laws to protect that for me...I’m a normal person that’s just famous. I refuse to sneak in and out of back doors and kitchens of hotels, etc.”

According to West, the incident occurred when he was photographed by an aggressive photographer who captured the star while he was leaving the club without his permission. His security guard said to "get that camera off" and West said that he raised his hand to block the lens of the camera but it was never his intent to assault him.

Three hours after the incident, police came to his hotel room and informed 'Ye that he would have to be taken into custody because a complaint was filed against him. He was later released and not charged.

“Paparazzi give real photographers a bad name,” West said. “A picture is worth a thousand words, theirs are worth a thousand dollars. Right now the paps are above the law and the people they shoot are below it. What should be illegal is pictures taken with the intent to sell, like drugs with the intent to sell or crossing customs with enough merchandise to have the intent to sell. The exploitation of my image is the problem. It produces a ‘by any means necessary’ behavior that cause the paps to drive recklessly on freeways, jump over fences and invade privacy all in an effort to get that money shot. You shouldn’t be able to sell a picture of me without my permission…let us not forget the paps killed Princess Diana.”

@knightsray thanks for your 2 cent. i was being sarcastic you jackass. i aint defending what mike vick did. by the way he did not deserve all that shit. there are people in this world that do way worse shit than mike vick. i was trying to make a point about PETA. they give more of a shit about some dogs than do human beings, and judging by your dumb ass statement you give more of a shit about them dogs than humans to. do me a favor, think before the next time you type something stupid bout me. i'll hurt ya feelings dummy.

vick did get what he deserved you dumbshits. its against the law to fight dogs and thats what he was doing on his property. he broke the damn law and he got a sentence one year short of what it would be if a regular person got caught doin that. ya'll are stupid vick got lucky and i hope he comes back to the nfl and gets knocked the fuck out. and i dont even own any dogs.
BUT kanye needs to chill with punchin paps in the head. although he has a point about selling the pics without his permission. its a trade off though. you trade privacy for fame. happens to everyone famous

@ the dumb shit dedication3, you lil weezy stan, being tried by federal prosecuter for fightin dogs in surry county Va is a lil over the top. if the federal government would have been on top of more pressing issues like lets say terrorism, or stopping the drug trade maybe 9-11 could have been prevented, and just maybe the drug epidemic would not be the way it is. i aint saying he shouldn't be locked up for breaking the law, but he dont belong in no fucking federal prison, when the commonwealth of virginia has no shortage of prisons. nor do they hesitate to lock a nigga up. niggas is quick to support these dumb ass rappers talking this dumb ass street shit, but take mike vick to task for fighting dogs. bet you niggas watch mma, and boxing dont yall. that shit more savage than what mike vick did.

Kanye is a bitch sometimes. Goes right along with the music he is making right now.

And what does mike vick have to do with this?! No one. defends his actions,but what's the difference between a dog a deer? Oh that's right we chose one to domesticate. We shouldn't fight dogs, but we also shouldnt neuter and put a fucking sweater on one as if it was a female on birth control and an active member of the family.

Lol man we are crazy as a society. Hunting would make sense if there was no such thing as wal-mart supercenters on every street corner, so what's wrong with fighting dogs? Actually what's wrong with scoping one out from 150 yards? You know you couldve just hit one with your car By Accident!!!

Dogs in america are treated better than the homeless. I wouldn't mind if we domesticated homeless people and allowed dogs to be the ball-licking, humping air animals that they are. See that's my problem with the mike vick case. What are we saying? That hunting keeps the population down on deer,which is just a bad argument big men, with small dicks, use so they don't take the most expensive thing they own, their guns! But dogs are precious animals(except when they eat toddlers) and should be protecte??. Nothing short of bullshit.

I want all the dog owners to look at dogs in mexico. Lol that's how your dog should look. As if it hadn't had water in days, no baths, no diets!(Kill yourself if u putting the damn dogs on diets). It should look like a dog. A wild animal, not jim tressel in a sweater vest!

Ayo, we should let Marquis Sade domesticate my best custy "Spoonman da Flizz Head". He's homeless, I bet Marquis Sade would b a lil'pissed when he wake up wit his labtop missin and Spoonman is huddled up in a corner somewhere smokin his tv! Spoon would probably bark @ intruders 4 exchange of a hot plate of food.

the paps did have a part to play in the princess diana death. why is it that if a regular person hides outside your house you can call the cops and make a report about a suspicious person or behavior and they can get charged with stalking, but then the paps can basically post up around your house and take pics as soon as you step out the crib invading your private space and the law does nothing? i understand when you a celebrity it comes with the job but there should be a limit or boundaries to how they go about it. they cause accidents,drive recklessly,break traffick lights, and put themselves and others in danger just to get a fucking thousand dollar pic that goes in a magazine? wow thats really sumthing to risk your fuckin life for....
