On Kanye West‘s “New Slaves” he raps, “‘l’ll move my family out the country. So you can’t see where I stay.” Upon returning to LA from a trip out of the country, the paparazzi were waiting for him at the airport. Kanye, who was visibly already in a poor mood, warned the photographers to leave him alone. Although Kanye knows that he’s going to have to pay up for attacking this guy, it seems that $250,000 isn’t enough to stop him from whooping his ass.
TMZ is reporting that Kanye West has been named a felony suspect in the LAX attack. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that “police suspect Kanye committed an attempted robbery when he assaulted a photog at the airport and tried to jack his camera.”
UPDATE (08/21):
While the L.A. District Attorney’s office has opted not to press felony charges (as was initially suggested after the incident), there is still a possibility he’ll be charged with a misdemeanor.
Now, as THR reports, the videographer is being represented by Gloria Allred, a high-profile attorney known for representing controversial cases. Allred will appear alongside the videographer to announce a lawsuit against Kanye at a news conference today.
Allred will try to shame celebrity culture at large, working to “strongly condemn the support that some celebrities have give Kanye West for his attack on the ‘paaprazzi,'” she wrote in a statement, via THR.

I'm confused how is that felony charges?
assault and battery n. the combination of the two crimes of threat (assault) and actual beating (battery). They are also intentional civil wrongs for which the party attacked may file a suit for damages.
He knowingly told the person he would have to pay a fine for attacking him (he said 250,000 thing) then afterwords he placed his hands without permission in a harmful manner to the person.
Still he did ask the paparazzi to leave him be, and they saw he was in a pissed mood so i mean come on its like wearing red to a bull then shaking your ass, if you get horned you cant bitch.
he's not going to lose this case, his principle point of contact was the camera and equipment(which the dumbass plaintiff isn't going to claim as damage) and in not point is there any physical contact by striking the face of that paparazzi. The only evidence of which being his bff in paparaziiing saying "you hit him" = case thrown directly in garbage…
Fck yea Kanye..,
hes the worst
Honestly, I hate the paparazzi. They deserve this. Kanye is crazy but I think I would be too if people were all over me like that.
Mannnnn, he didn't even hurt that pecker wood!
does nobody see that he just went to grab the camera and lets go after a little bit? The guys just falls over on the ground gets up and walks away……
lol i fuck wit kanye
Christopher Tyrrell when you revolutionise hip-hop production twice, come back to me.
that was the lamest "assault" I've ever seen. charges will not stick.
its total bullshit
he goes right for the camera
my fav paparazzi video is the one of Jay-Z and my boo Beyonce in Italy or something, and his bodyguard had this powerful ass flashlight and he just shined it at the paparazzi and ruined their shots. they got so mad. he trolled them hard.
^ thats the best way to deal with them. they want you to freak out and attack them. so you just shine lights and shit in their cameras. or get someone to stand in front of their camera haha
Adam Arvizu spotlight security ftw
If I was Kanye, I woulda beat that bitch's ass. Legit all paparazzi are fucking faggots and the most malicious mother fuckers on the planet.
Jarrod Dean dude. Don't make yourself look like a fool pls
Adam Arvizu best way is to buy a decent laser pointer and shine into the lens. Even the better professional DSLR's can't handle that. (sensor burn = camera for the trashbin)
How come hes not flying on private jets? Hes just asking to be messed with by walking around at LAX
