Kanye Addresses Recent Arrest….

November 15th, 2008

I guess the paparazzi or Kanye haven’t learned any lessons in dealing with each other!

Honestly, I wish one of two things; The papz leave Kanye the hell alone until he distributes a memo to every photographer granting them access to snap pictures of him or for Yeezy purchase one of those Hologram machines that Will.I.Am and CNN broke out during the election and make appearances through that thus letting him stay in his house without the hassle of beating down a photographer every chance he gets (kidding, Kanye).

Obviously, we all know Yeezy was detained for mushing a photographer in the UK the other night and since he HATES the media, he took to the pages of his personal blog to deliver an impromptu (not really, dude plans these things like they’re Thanksgiving dinners) rant about the media and how they invade his personal space……peep game, below..

“I PUT MY HAND UP TO THE CAMERA IN SELF DEFENSE!

HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED…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 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.

THREE HOURS LATER I GET A KNOCK AT MY HOTEL DOOR. THERE WERE FIVE POLICE OFFICERS IN FRONT OF MY ROOM AND I HAD NO IDEA WHY. I HAD MY SECURITY GO SPEAK WITH THEM. THE COPS WERE VERY CORDIAL BUT TOLD ME THEY HAD TO ARREST ME BECAUSE A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THAT WAS THE BOGUS PART. THEY PLACED ME IN HANDCUFFS AND DROVE ME TO THE STATION. THEY SPOKE ABOUT HOW THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY A PUBLICITY STUNT BY THE PHOTOGRAPHER BUT THEY STILL HAD TO GO THOUGH THE MOTIONS. WHEN I GOT BACK TO THE HOTEL THERE WERE PAPARAZZI HANGING OVER THE BRIDGE ABOVE THE HOTEL TRYING TO GET A SHOT OF ME GETTING OUT THE POLICE VAN. EVEN THOUGH I WASN’T CHARGED, THE DAMAGE WAS DONE. SURE ENOUGH THE NEXT MORNING, PLASTERED ACROSS EVERY MEDIA OUTLET… KANYE GETS ARRESTED. IT DIDN’T MATTER THAT I WASN’T CHARGED OR THE FACT THAT I HADN’T ASSAULTED ANYONE. ALL THAT MATTERED WAS THAT I WAS ARRESTED.

SIDEBAR, THEY QUOTED ME AS SAYING…”GET THE CAMERA OFF HIM!” LIKE I WAS TALKING IN THIRD PERSON. HE TRIED TO MAKE ME SOUND LIKE A CRAZY PERSON AND PEOPLE BELIEVED HIM. WHAT MERIT DOES THIS GUY HAVE THAT HE CAN SAY SOMETHING ABOUT ME AND PEOPLE TAKE IT AS LAW? THE FACT THAT HE COULD GET ME ARRESTED OFF A MERE COMPLAINT BUT I CAN’T ASK HIM TO STOP TAKING PICTURES OF ME IS VERY LOPSIDED.

WHO’S WINNING, ME OR THE MEDIA?”

Read his entire entry, HERE! 

Does  Kanye make a valid point or is he addressing an issue that will NEVER get fixed?

 

Sincerely

they need to stop folling thes people its like boarder line stalking, they art human just like how would you like it if every where you go a camer is stuck in your face, its not like they are fans or any thing they just want to talk bad about you

Now while I do feel that Kanye’s actions in the LAX airport were way overboard and that he could have handled it differently, I do understand where the man is coming from w/ this present situation. It IS true that when you become a celebrity, you sign up for all of the things that come w/ that…but I do understand needing rights though. The first time @ the LAX airport, the guy had a license to photograph anywhere in that airport, including the ppl in it. Kanye had no right to hurt the dude like that. This second time, dude stuck a camera all in his face and then gonna go and exploit the story and exaggerate. I feel like Kanye has a point here.
~~Quay~~

Yeh K. West is right, just because he is famous doesn’t give the media the right to do what ever they want to do! He is till human! All entertainers are human, and have rights. Be it on top like K. West or you on the bottom trying to hustle to get to the top!! Even tho media was trying to they job, you still gotta respect it! All the reporter had to do was back up, still could have got the picture one way or another!

Hey Kanye West you and Young Jeezy did good 2day on Bet i really enjoy it and when yall make yall music yall make its from da heart that what i love bout you, t.i, t-pain, and keyshia cole and etc. But always remember thats all yall rappers, rock, jazz, and r&b singers got plenty love in my heart bc god made all of us da same and always remember that because we are humans and have a place in god’s heart and your mother raised you very good!!! And i give her my props……..

I totally am siding with Kanye. The media tries to turn everything around all the time. They’re just sleezy punks, who try to invade stars (who are real people, just like them) privacy. They do it all for greed and money. People try to say they’re just doing their job. In old Israel, no one liked tax collectors, were those people just doin’ their job, yes, did people like it, no. So don’t take the paparazzis side. Kanye has my 100% support.

mariah Said on

kanye wests point is clearly stated about how he did nt assult the man and how it was put out there as if he did such a horrible crime juss because he got arrested.
but at the end of the day thats the way it is. and being famous thats what you signed up for. when your famous your life is like a movie. They watchers see every move you make, want to know every word you speak, and every thought you think. me, personally would have reacted the same way as Kanye did. but of course the outsiders to the situation always have another view of it. thats life!!



Micaiah Said on

Leave him alone(i hate da papz)Anyway wen i make it big kanye’s da person i hope to have on my first single(if he’s not busy)but he is the best rapper alive to me seriously…………DA BEST RAPPER EVER IS KANYE WEST



xXlovelyXx Said on

The media is always gonna win but i think that it’s unfair to Kanye. I know some people are obsessed with celebs and getting their pics and stuff but i can imagine how annoying it could be to the celeb. Oh and B.T.W…I just want to remind yall paparazzi how princess diana was killed. She was in a vehicle and she saw that the paparazzi was following her so her driver speeded up and they crashed and she died… Just keep that in mind.
