Kanye West Busted

Posted Sep 11th 2008 11:35AM by TMZ Staff

Kanye West has just been arrested at LAX for felony vandalism.

A still photographer was trying to take pics of Kanye at the American Airlines terminal. According to our guy on the scene, Kanye allegedly confronted the photog and smashed his camera to the ground.

Our photog then began videotaping the scene when Kanye's bodyguard grabbed our camera -- a struggle ensued and the bodyguard threw the video camera to the ground, breaking it.

When Kanye realized our camera guy had videotaped the incident, he rushed our guy and yelled, "Gimme that f**king tape!"

Both Kanye and his bodyguard have been arrested and will be booked.

1. OH SNAP!

I like his music but I'm not really big about Kanye as a person . . . I was sad about his Mom though.

13. I love hearing that one of these losers either got their ass kicked, their camera destroyed or a combination of the two.

I don't think these can't-hack-it dorks with cameras (I don't want to denigrate photographers by calling these turds that) deserve any protection under our laws. They deserve less protection than insects.
