Kanye West gave a TMZ photographer a piece of his mind at the LAX airport in L.A.
Kanye West doesn’t have a good reputation with the paparazzi. He has become increasingly weary of his privacy in the last few years, and has thus been more hostile with photographers, as evidenced in the infamous “pole” incident earlier this year. The Yeezus rapper has done a good job of ducking out of the spotlight for the most part, but he was once again spotted by a TMZ photographer today, and made sure to give him a piece of his mind.
‘Ye grabbed the paparazzi’s camera, aggressively telling him to stop what he was doing.
“Don’t talk … don’t talk to me … I don’t wan’t to hear paparazzi talk to me or anybody I know … and tell everybody never talk to anyone that anyone knows … don’t talk to themselves .. DON’T TALK EVER AGAIN.”
The cameraman continued to speak to West, until he again ran at him and seemingly ripped the camera out of his hands.
Apparently Kanye was arrested at the very same airport in 2008 for smashing a TMZ reporters equipment.
