The "Stronger," hitmaker was arrested earlier today at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) for felony vandalism after causing an estimated $10,000 in equipment damages.
The arrest came after a photographer was trying to get some shots of Kanye at the American Airlines terminal. According to witnesses, Kanye allegedly confronted the photographer and smashed his camera to the ground.
TMZ, who had a photographer of their own on the scene, says that Kanye and his bodyguard then went after their photographer after realizing the incident was being videotaped.
In other news…
During a brief police questioning, Kanye had to be restrained after lunging at the TMZ photographer who recorded the incident.
Kanye and his bodyguard were arrested for vandalism. They are both being held on $20,000 bail.

Damn Kanye Is That Stupid Shit Really Needed? All These Rappers Say They Want Fame Then They Think They 2 Good Fo Everybody Once They Get It.
man stfu. u dont know what its like being a celebrity. how wud u feel if u tired or in a bad mood and there is some dude in ur face takin pictures all the time. i wuda fucked his ass up too.
man he need to calm the fuck down lol that video is hilarious that dude yellin POLICE when kanye smashin his shit haha
man i'd be pissed if i had mad cameras following me EVERYWHERE...i mean if its at a show or performance, etc. thats the time to do that shit or when he sittin down doin interviews, autographs, whatever
not when the man is tryin to get on/off a plane...the airport is enough of a pain in the ass as it is without cameras in ur face
"I tried to hit you with the o wokie, Till I got flashed by the paparazzi.
Damn these niggas got me, I hate these niggas more than the nazis" - Kanye West On Flashing Lights
That may explain why he went after the cameraman. SCREW THE PAPARAZZI!
lmao..awesome i like ye even more after seeing that..no homo just in case
ha ha, that fag got his camera smashed
People always talk about how when someone got punked or messed up how it "wouldn'ta been me" and "I woulda fucked him up" and then when someone finally does it, you criticize 4 it...
2face Myspace Thugs and YouTube gangsters.
Do what you do Kanye, although I kinda expected Kanye to hit him with his Gucci bag instead :/
niggas crave attention then lash out when they get it. people takin their pics come with the territory. these celebrities cant have it both ways. either you want attenion or you dont. they asses would be crying if no on paid attention to them.
why they have to use that picture, of all pictures they wanna chose the corniest pic of kanye,lol
hahaha im laughin a DJ D-Mob quotin Flashing Lights. that line was mad whack to begin with but it just got even funnier. i mean the way kanye dresses now youd think he was alive while the nazis were around.
oh yeah and the video aint workin anymore? or is my computer buggin?
aww man. are there any rappers that don't get arrested anymore???? i mean look at him!!!!!! who put him in a cell??????????
i hope he was wearing that same exact outfit when he was arrested lol. i cant c the video defsounds fucked it up... ill u tube it, but come on ye u gotta keep ur cool ppl r jus waitin for u to fuck up like that ur lucky u aint gettin an assault suit on top of dat
WTF Kanye you are smarter than that
yeah, prolly coulda handled that a liiiiiite better...
What i like about kanye though is that hes not afraid to do shit. i mean, its not like he does any of the shit that gets him in trouble for an image. he just has anger issues i guess.
Fuck that they need to leave people alone fuck it he aint gon be in for a long time I garuntee they fucked with the wrong nigga this time cause Kanye a dude that holds grudges and he gon air TMZ out 1st time he gets a chance
it's tough to get arrested for giving someone an asswhooping that prolly deserved it, those people can be really annoying and if your having a rough day that can make it worst, so I don't blame him
that's what happen when rapper start singing
Lol it happens..I almost got arrested at the airport once..Difference? I'd still be in jail, getting water-boarded..I took "something" before the flight, left my wallet in dish, during check-ins..lol they was calling my name on the P.A. system..I thought I was hearing things..After like 3 times of hearing my name, i came to it and decided to go to customer service. Well i was incoherent and raised all hell, like "give me my fuckin wallet!!!" lol like they stole it or something..They had security come over and everything..Lol trippin..that was the last time I took "something"
lol^^
Shrooms...
lol "i'll never tell" (in my Brittany Murphy voice)
ye' looks like a fuckin square in that pic......how u gon arrest some1 that looks like steve erkel?
WOW!!!! I wouldn't have thought that he ever would get arrested, but anyone that's in the entertainment industry should know that privacy will be invaded in the public eye. No doubt.
THIS IS SOME FUNNY SHIT...... DUMB AS FUCK BUT FUNNY!!!!! A.Dd+ UP NEXT BITCHES.
Damn....he slammed that camera hard as a bitch...lmao
lol kanye was bout to fuck tht guy up if he didnt give him tht camera
the video funny as shit kanye went 2 hard(no homo) !!!
damn this is first for kanye his momma would of been snapping they said he got arrested at lax airways i wonder if he was with game
by now this kind of shit is normal for rappers...but he must hav been in quite a bad mood to smash it that hard
jokesta you trip me out wit them pictures
damn Kanye was pissed!
WOW THIS DUDE BUGGIN IF U DONT WANT 2 B NOTICE STOP RAPPIN.
iGuess he tried to go hard,
next time get away widd it, dumb ass nigga.
Well you know what they say, "Every rapper gotta have a charge."...Learn it.
ReDef.
thats one expensive camera
it reminds me of the all falls down video
hahahah lmao that paparazzi bitch was screaming policccccccccce
It is so fucking stupid how photographers are always trying to take pictures of people at every possible place
Honestly...who the fuck wants to see Kanye West in an airport? Dont waste your time taking pictures of that seriously
Smashing the cameras was immature but Paparazzi are like fuckiing gnats at barbecues
but nah paparazzi need to lay off Stupid TMZ i never watched ur show anyway
paparazzi do take shit too far, when the celebrity doesn't want to talk they still get in their face after the person tells them 10000000 times to move....and $20,000???? are they really serious.....that's joke money to kanye, i can see $100,000's bond but fo'real get serious
man dat nigga aint even from the hood, but yet his harder then any rapper, dis be out of rage beacuz his mother passed away, but them paparzzi be taking it way to far sometimes, but in this case kanye west took it to far
like i said on the other blogs bout dis.... i dont feel sorry for the paparazi or kanye..U a celebratory kanye get over it. u knew how the game went when U decided to take the job…paparazi too . but this is wat dey want to happen so dey win in the end. an kanye is just another tabloid and blog discussion.. kanye u need to take anger management classes.
So what? This aint nothing hell be alright this is small as hell
He was probly tired of that shit he probly cant blow his nose without somebody taking a picture of it
if i was a celebrity i would be in jail constantly for fuckin up these guys with the cameras n shit i cant stand it not bein famous lol if i was i would lose it more than most these people do.
Then, Kanye got out, and left on a PRIVATE JET.
Funny thing is, they recorded that too. SMH.
Kanye finally got arrested. He's officially a rapper. Sike though, that papurrazi shit is weak, but Ye gotta expect it when he a star.
that bail money is snack money to ye.instead of breaking the camera he should have punch dat punk hoe.i know i would but then if you think about it hip hop police would chareg him with atemted murder lol they might say he was under the influence of drugs or he was packing heat lmao i bet they going to find something to put him away for a lil bit. i bet their thinking of something as i type lol
There's some dumb ass people on here lol. "If I was tired and had cameras around me, I'd fuck'em up too" Yea, but that doesn't justify shit.
You're famous, that's the price you have to pay when you're big. How the fuck do you NOT expect cameras to be around you almost 24/7? C'mon, have some common sense. It's either you ignore all of them, or pose up and get flashed up.
Of course you're tired, who else isn't. It's like a man in Cali that just got off work, just to travel on the 5 to get to his home during traffic. No one wanna face that shit, but they do it anyways. Yet Kanye can't handle cameras in his face? Fuckin idiot.
SMH THE PRICE U PAY FOR FAME!!!!
ye gettin crazier by the day. i think his moms death really fuckin wit him. he need therapy.
If I had 20 g's i'd bail his ass out so we could do it again.
TMZ loves shit like this. And the viewers eat it all up. Kinda sad actually. That was mad funny. It happened so fast & smooth. It's what I call a smooth transaction.
LMAO....broke ya boi shit and said, "aint no police comin"...LOL....beast move...
that shit had me laughoin 2
i wonder what dude did to make ye' break his shit...he had to be sayin or doin somthin and was told to stop cuz im pretty sure kanye is used to cams by now
man...damn kanye. dude wrong for trying to blow kanye cover like that but kanye could have settled that better...but 30k aint shyt to Mr.West!
CAN'T TELL HIM NOTHIN!! LoL
man Kanye only have two pay 10% of that 20,000 and what happen two the video
This is just another story of when there's a vicious backlash on paparazzi. If you've noticed, paparazzi are willing to TRESPASS or ENCROACH on an individual's personal space ILLEGALLY...but are the first to scream for the boys in blue when the celebrity and/or bodyguard acts defensively...what a loophole those fuckers have.
you right cause...
just cause you famous dont give a bitch the right to stick a camera and a microphone in your face everytime they see you...
it'll cost us 100 dollars to see him... make they broke ass pay to...
on the money tip when he bonds out and pay a cash bond he gets his money back... (for niggas who go through bondsmen, pay the jailhouse and you'll get your money back... oh yeah if you got it... lol)
i think he had every rite to fuck that camera up thats fuckin with his safety to blow him up in a airport wit just one bodyguard i feel ya Yae
funny as hell but waz dat really neccessary? he must be reeal stressed
HAAAAAAAAAA GOD DAMN Kanye, I really aint expect that shit, this shit is funny as hell
Kanye is a crazy motherfucker, and his associate too. They didn't have to go that far, but if the dude needed his time, the dude needed his time..lol
lmaoooooooooo nigga kayne said, aint no police nigga!" lmao
im a kanye fan and i guess i understand his whole thing wit the way he dresses but i cant take dude seriously wit them glasses on... but props to him for doin wut he did
dude needs to calm the fuck down. perfect phrase for your boy. god complex. this nigga thinks is above all cause he sold some records and got hot beats. its not what you do that defines you its how you do it.
free palestine
See one day the paparzzi gonna fuck wit the wrong person and end up getting shot the fuck up. Me, I'll just say I told u bitch and laugh.
ha ha kanye a mess man but he aint gotta act like that cause he is a huge superstar they gone record him into he retired from the scens of music feel me kanye next time cover ya face an keep it moving homie big ups....
