Your Black Hip-Hop: Kanye West Arrested At Airport On Felony Charges

September 11, 2008 Leave a comment

Kanye West was arrested Thursday morning at Los Angeles International Airport on suspicion of vandalism.

Apparently the Chicago-based hip-hop superstar mixed it up with a still photographer, and a $10,000-plus camera wound up in pieces.

For Kanye, the news gets worse because a TMZ.com cameraman named Erik says he videotaped this whole exchange, prompting the rapper’s bodyguard to grab his camera, tear off its microphone and viewfinder and smash them on the ground.

UPDATE:

Kanye West and his road manager Don C. were arrested Thursday morning at L.A.X airport. Both men were charged with felony vandalism in an incident involving paparazzi.

The rapper and his friend were waiting at security for a flight to Hawaii when an altercation with a photographer and videographer ensued. West and Don C. have since been released from police custody on $20,000 bail.
