by on September 11th, 2008
Chicago MC Kanye West has found himself amidst controversy yet again.
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.
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.
You can check out video of the incident below:

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
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!
2face Myspace Thugs and YouTube gangsters.
Do what you do Kanye, although I kinda expected Kanye to hit him with his Gucci bag instead :/
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.
next time get away widd it, dumb ass nigga.

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
maybe all those bastard kanye’s dick rider. And in some kind of way, those paparazzi are the one that create the celebrity of Ye … yeah we all know that’s annoying to get shoot everywhere you go but damn this is part of your celebrity life, if you don’t like it , quit it …. that’s all i gotta say .
I really loved Graduation but Stronger killed Kanye and love lock down will really put him down and if his whole new album will be with this fuckin auto tune for sure i will not cop it cause that’s not what i wanna hear from a rapper
Funny thing is, they recorded that too. SMH.
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.
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)
