Arrest warrant out for Mos Def

An arrest warrant has reportedly been issued for Mos Def after photographer Volker Corell alleged the rapper attacked him in Las Vegas earlier this year.

There is reportedly an arrest warrant out for rather fine rapper Mos Def after an altercation with a photographer in Las Vegas earlier this year. The Associated Press reports that LA-based photographer Volker Corell claims the rapper, real name Dante Terrell Smith, lashed out at him at the Men's Apparel And Garment Industry Convention in Vegas earlier this year, at which Corell was a fully authorised photographer. He says he has four photos taken as Smith went for him, showing the rapper trying to grab the camera. Said camera was broken, Corell alleges, while he also injured his hand. Police are presumably keen to question Smith about the allegations.
