Kanye West Arrested, Released After Attacking Paparazzi

by JOKESTA

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 14, 2008

Chicago MC Kanye West has had yet another run in with a Paparazzi.

According to TMZ, West was arrested at a hotel in Gateshead, England early this morning after allegedly getting into a tussle with a photographer on his way out of the Tup Tup nightclub in Newcastle.

The photographer claims Kanye allegedly shoved a camera into his face as he snapped a picture causing a bruice and a slight cut to his face. 

The photographer says Kanye was leaving the club with four girls, and got upset that he was being captured on film. Kanye then allegedly got violent -- shoving the camera into the snappers face, causing a cut on his nose.

After a short investigation, West was released from police custody without charges

This is Kanye's second reported run in with Paparazzis that has landed him in jail. Earlier this year, Kanye was arrested after a photographer was trying to get some shots of him at the American Airlines terminal.

".......a bruice and a slight cut to his face....." What's a "Bruice"???
Anyway, I'm crackin' up at the fact that Kanye is tryin' to get extra gangsta for the Paparazzi. Everytime you turn around they gon try to get a shot of him, so I guess he is gonna hit every camera man??? WTF?

This Kanye and Paparazzi shit is getting out of hand. It's almost like this nigga is intentionally doing it for promotion or something. You're famous Kanye, deal with it or do what Cam did and disappear!

Prop This: Why be successful if you don't want to be seen? It makes no sense, your a international superstar and your at a nightclub, it equals some shots and a page in the Esquire!! He should be used to it...Learn it.

Ye gotta understand that hes a celeb and being snapped and getting your privacy ratted on by these paparazzi rats comes with the job.These people do this for the money not for the fuck of it,so he gotta ride wit that.But on the other hand theres when they over do shit and get irritating eg. Princess Dianas death...If u watch her E! True Hollywood Story her fatal car accident happened when her driver tried to escape from the paparazzi,,which makes the paparazzi a contribution to her death.....

JESUS CHRIST!!! what is it with u ppl who aren't familiar with the concept of PRIVACY???

kanye's just SUPPOSED to get used to ppl bein around takin pictures of him doin shit that makes him look bad??? just cuz he's famous he's just supposed to be coo with that???

and the paps make money off the private lives of celebrities, true, but if one catches u beatin ur meat are you gonna be coo with it cuz he's just "doin his job"? and he's gonna make bank off it, bank u don't get to see. are you gonna be coo with that???

all u ppl who're tellin Ye to "quit cryin" need to grow up, fuh real. Kanye West is just one of MANY different types of ppl u'll grow up to become. maybe not on some fame shit, but on some real world shit. u'll see the world and the other ppl in it in a whole other light.

your personal space will be very important to u, and when it's violated u'll react negatively.

a lot of us already been thru that and by now we know how we get.

so why should kanye be any different?
