Kanye West had a rough start to his weekend on Friday when he was arrested in London after an altercation with paparazzi. West is defending himself via what else — his blog — saying that the paparazzi is above the law, and he was just defending himself.
“Let us not forget the paps killed Princess Diana,” West writes. “When will there be a law passed that simply enforces that someone has to ask to take a photograph of you? That would seem like common courtesy. Right now the paps are above the law and the people they shoot are below it.”
West also has his own take on the incident. “”When I left the club I was encountered by a thirsty paparazzi as usual. He felt he had more rights to my space than me, so I put my hand up to prevent him from taking my image. I didn’t assault him but merely putting (sic) my hand up to cover his lens. My security yelled, ‘Get the camera off him.’ I guess in all the commotion the camera scraped his nose.”
In September, West was accused of damaging a photographer’s camera during an altercation at LAX. He hasn’t been charged yet.
