Celebrity Justice
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.

91. Something tells me he will blame George W, Bush, FEMA, and the white man. Sure his mom is looking down on him with pride...

92. I love it! Some people get what they deserve. They should throw away the key. Racism is NOT ok..... black or white!

93. Good! Book Him! Now show us the tape of his whiney A** ! I am sure he will blame this on the fact that he is black and he has been discrimated against. That is the only card he knows how to play....the black one. I would still dislike you just as much if you were white Kanye and so would eveyone else. You are just that undesirable! Dont know where the arrogance comes from you flea

94. I Love you Kanye!
Ok maybe he should have handled the situation differently. But also remember that He is still a person. Maybe he didnt want to be bothered ( Do people care? NO). Due to the fact he is "Kanye West", he is suppose to want people always in his face?? Riteeeee. ((Smh))
Yes, Paparazzi comes with being famousm but they go over board! $20,000 bail?? Are you serious?? They should have made him pay for the damages and thats all. On a brighter Note, he'll be out by tonight... lol

95. K-west and the rest of the rap community ,just don't get it ! acting like a retard is NOT cool! He's lucky they are videoing him? Otherwise, he would have been some punk kid on the streets shooting craps! K-west you are a big dummy ,as Fred Sanford would say!!! K-WEST you aren't even a legitimate musician , you idiot! Only a gimmick!!!

RAPPERS ARE VERY DUMB INDIVIDUALS WHO LOOK FOR ATTENTION AND ACCEPTANCE FROM THE MAIN STREAM THEY CONSTANTLY COMPLAIN ABOUT ,,, BY DOING BUFFOONISH THINGS ON AND OFF THE STAGE!


GO ROCK MUSIC /BANDS ! GO HOCKEY !!!! GO NASCAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RAP AND HIP HOP SUCKS!!!

RAPPERS????? WHINERS ,RETARDS AND WANNABEEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

96. all you people who are sticking up for him are as IGNORANT as he, he isn't anything but a good for nothing B*tch made hoodlum who deserves what ever they give him....and if he is going to act like a little B*tch every time the paparazzi is taking his photo then he needs to go back to the ghetto and stay out of the spot light.

97. It's about time this f*cking immature baby a$$clown got brought back to earth. Yes, Kanye, the rules do still apply to you even though you think you're god.

98. They need to increase the bail. $20,000 is nothing for him.

He is so full of himself, he believes his own press clippings that he is great. And that is the media's fault. He has talent, but he isn't that good.

I'm glad he has not won a grammy, so he still is a wanna be.
