Say it ain’t so, my boy Kanye West got arrested at LAX Airport Thursday morning, reports say. Police confirm that he was arrested on charges of battery and vandalism.
People.com has a statement from the LAX police:
“Mr. West was arrested at 7:51 a.m. outside the passenger screening area by airport police on charges of vandalism,” said LAX spokesman Marshall Lowe. “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,” Lowe said. “Several witnesses are being interviewed by police. West and his manager are being transported to an LAPD station where they’re expected to be booked.”
TMZ.com reports that West allegedly smashed a photographer’s camera in the American Airlines terminal. A TMZ photographer began filming the incident and when West’s road manager, Don C. grabbed the camera, a struggle followed and his manager threw the camera to the ground.
Story developing…
Say it aint so Kanye.
Damn! I’m up here blasting Love Lockdown and posting that shit everywhere and my boy got arrested.
It’s not funny, but it is.
Crazy.
Say it at sooo I am keeping Ye in my prayers he is going through sooo much right now.
Thats a damn shit for the fella!
You can not act a fool at the airport…..and on 9/11 too.
Get it together peeps!!!!
noo! not my boy kanye . uggh they should of just left him alone
The paps are getting crazy! I think everyone should be given privacy when asked. It’s getting ridiculous, I think a law of some sort should be imposed. I do love the candid pics and vids though
That’s some bullshit…FREE KANYE!
The paps need a life….obviously been followed around day in and day out brings out the ugly in people. I can’t say I blame him…I’d probably be tempted to smash a camera or two!
Man, not on a day like today, ‘Ye.
But those paps are vultures and they say the most crude and disgusting things to get a reaction out of celebrities.
Hopefully no one was seriously hurt or injured.
Well, this shouldn’t be shocking. Perhaps one of the paparazzi was all up in his grill and Kanye was all like ‘I don’t go that way son’ and smashed his shit.
I don’t blame him.
“..Mama said knock you out…..I’m gonna knock you oooouuutttttt!!”
“..gangsta boogie, gangsta boogie….daammnnn!”
Kanye…if you wanna play, you gotta pay….
—- > Whoa. There needs to be a law, regarding these paps. Someone is seriously
—- > gonna get hurt. Badly.
I just read this! Kanye is off the chain. I thought he settled down a lil. Perhaps Alexis put it back on him.
Alexis plz get a Kanye I think he’s missin you!!
For some reason, I just laughed. Im not a hater, but this sh*t is funny.
Kanye if ur gonna get arrested make it worth it GEEZZZ!
yeah they were prolly all in his face and kanye was just like f*** I cant take this shit no more … well another one bites the dust lol
I do agree that the paparazzi is outta control these days, but Kanye most definitely acts like a child. Temper tantrums and smashing cameras?!? We’ve seen Kanye act out on SEVERAL occasions! This reminds me of his punked episode! My 6-year-old has NOTHING on Kanye!
Kanye seems really hurt lately.
His emotion shows in the song, and everything.
Hopefully, this gives him something to rap/sing about, and will continue to write for his album while in jail.
On another note, I agree the paps need to fallback alot of the times. I see the way they are all in the celebrities faces on tv and I be like got damn, Do you really need a picture that bad. They just getting a cup of coffee.
Its as if the paps think they have right to invade the celebrities’ lives. I would have punched and drop kicked the photographer too. Im not mad at you Kanye. But this is still funny.
As if he hasn’t been through enough..
free kanye!
btw his performance at the vma’s was dope. I can’t wait to hear his album.
That freakin camera man was screeming his azz off for the police.They know not to keep bothering Kanye.
FLUCK THE PAPZ!
YE CHANGE YA RAG!
I feel like he is still grieving over his mother passing away. He been looking really down lately.
OMG! This isn’t alleged the video is on several sites. They did not invade his space he just went ballistic on the photog for taking his pictures. These “so-called” celebs need to get used to the fact that people are going to take there pictures. He should be flattered one day no one will care that he’s in an airport!!
the paps take shit to tha extreeme but kanye hhas to realize thas nothin new mang forreal he cant go around vandalizin people property like ill be tempted but do like B do n get paparazzi to cover ur face basiccally ye it aint worth it…its funney cuz at one time they was sayin black celebrities dont got paps followin them but its a diff story we sell we deff doo
If you live in LA, it’s just an unknown rule that for whatever reason the idiot Paparazzi think they abide by a different standard than the rest. I hope Kanye and his manager get out of this situation ASAP because this is bogus. I would have smashed the camera too.. get a life and get out of people’s face.Pap’s…. that has got to be the most irrelevant, lowest form of a job. ever.
FREE YE !!!!!!
Cant a brother get a break. Geez
They need to do something about the pappahoes.
loll i just seen the video … send yeezy ass to jail
Are you serious?! I can not believe this!
oh well, no suprise he’s a regular human not super human, no super powers…. when you reach your limit you reach your limit guess he reached his for the day
Look free my Man Kanyezzzz!!!!!!
What The F**K!!!!!!!
THEY NEED TO LEAVE HIM ALONE…….
HE IS GOING THEW ALOT RIGHT NOW …..
HE PROBALBY DIDNT WANT TO BE BOTHERED AND THEY WAS ALL UP IN HIS MIX….
—— LOL Damn Kanye.
Even though most celebrities don’t like the paps, they’re still doing their job…Obviously you can’t purposely break someone’s camera in front of 50 people and think that you’re going to get away with it. Kanye was already covered in a hoodie, he should’ve just ignored them..now he’s really given everyone something to talk about
WTF!!??>>>>
WOW!!!! My man needs to chill!!! LOL!
Paparazzi are rude and out of contol in LA; Chief Bratton needs to get some law and order on those people. I hope your are vindicated for any wrong doing Mr. West.
Kanyeezeee you can’t do that. Especially on a day like today!
yeah… it’s clear that the video didn’t capture the ENTIRE incident, just the part where Kanye lost his mind. so we can’t say what provoked him to smash the paps camera
Come on ‘Ye…control yourself baby. No need to attack the folk, that guys the papp hero now and you cuffed. Wow! So umm does this song mean Kanye’s gonna try and sing all the time rappa ternt sanga…hope not! He need to get all the way back with his Alexis and get it together. He is in my prayers.
~1505
obviously kanye’s not a morning person…but i mean who wants a camera in they face that early in the morning?
NOOOO KANYEEEEEEEEE!!
I dont think they should aloow picture taking or video cameras in the airport any gosh darn ways not that far into airport anyways
alot of cebs have run ins with paps Kanye should not be looked at any differently but im sure he will and thats the true sad part
free kanye lol
Was smashing the cameras really worth the Felony charges he faces? On top of that he apparently charged at the TMZ guy when he was watching the tape with LAPD…there’s another charge there.
Kanye is acting crazy, what’s wrong with him. I know he’s still probably not over his mom passing but still make her proud don’t make her turn in her grave, sort of speak (I know dead ppl don’t actually turn in their graves) but just figuratively speaking.
Word on the street: I’ve been to LAX and where the Paps were was not that far into the airport. Security is right there by the check in desks. That’s smack dab right infront of the entrance.
THAT WAT THA PAPS GET HE ASKED FOR IT!!!! I WOULD NOT WANT THEM DAMN CAMRAS ALL N MY FACE THE PAPAS ARE GETTIN OUT OF CONTRTOL NOW THEER IS A LINE AND THA PAPS CANT CROSS THAT GET YO PIC N GET THE HELL ON!
CHECK OUT THA VID

Kanye knows how it is at LAX and the man filming had a PRESS PASS…he had the right to be there. TMZ is gonna sell this tape and make their pockets even fatttterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr off Kanye and his bitchfest!
24…
hell yeah he was! “POLCE HELPPPPP” lmfaooooooooooooooooo. That had me crackin up. He’s probably gonna sue Kanye for assault and emotional distress…
Kanye’s still a bitch though for throwing a tantrum on Sept.11th of all days smhhh
Oh please Kanye! Hes been in the business long enough to understand and know that with fame comes Papparazzi. He through a bitch fit and now his hot headed ass is locked up all because of a photo. Hes so stupid and I hope he stays there for a another day.
He needs to learn how to pick his battles, in this case he lost! And theres film to prove it. What an ass! He a diva for no reason. I can respect him as an artist but as a human being he sucks. He’ll have to pay $20,000 for bail, then attorney fees for the court costs coming up AND then damages to papps. Idiot! But knowing his dumb ass he’ll probably write a song about it.
Oh and Concreteloop, I love ya but that Netfilx banner is SO annoying! I understand yall need to pay bills but its annoying! I click on post only to be directed to a Batman, Netflix banner ad! urh! – Rant of the day.
They are calling that guy his manager who used to be his stylist who is known to be gay…lol. They probably were kekekeing together and TMZ caught it on tape so Mr. West had to destroy it. Get over yourself Kayne…your a genius at what you do but stop acting like a baby. GEESH!
when will we colored folks gon understand; we can’t do what our other bro’s from different mothers do. and by this i mean white folk. now they can do it [attack the camera hounds] and get by w/ a slap on the wrist. and kanye aka “tweety bird” they are going to set the jail house on top of you . PLEA DEAL SON to a misdermeanor pay that big fine and restitution. they are going to show you a lesson, you can’t do what them big hollywood stars do. when its all said and done they are going to knock fire out your ass [$$$$$] for this . unless you can get to “harvey levin”. you big dummbie. next time put that money in my pockets.
Well , K.West said it best in Flashing Lights.
“Till I got flashed by the Paparazzi
Damn,these n*ggas got me.
I hate these n*ggas more than a Nazi..” Enough said.
Love u K.W
Crazy shit

WELL AT LEAST IT WASN’T FOR A DUI OR DRUG POSSESSION LIKE THE MANY OTHER RAPPERS GET ARRESTED FOR. BUT I SEEN THE VIDEO AND HE WAS GETTING PRETTY BUCK TOO.
The paps deserve that shit sometimes. Too bad it was caught on camera though. Thats funny.
