Kanye West has spoken about that altercation with a member of the paparazzi which led to his arrest at Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday.
As previously reported, West, who was in the American Airlines terminal to board a flight to Hawaii, approached the unidentified photographer and grabbed his camera, leading to a struggle in which Kanye took possession of the item and broke it by throwing it to the ground. He and road manager Don Crowley also attacked a videographer, damaging his camera, when they realised that the incident had been taped, and the pair were subsequently charged with felony vandalism.
West seems eager to suggest that the photographer in question was at fault. The hip-hop star, who was released from custody on Thursday afternoon on $20k bail, wrote on his blog: "We back in the lab!!! I'm cool with the paparazzi. This guy wasn't cool. I gotta work now... I'll rant later!"
West is due in court on 2 Oct.
