Kanye West Explains Paparazzi Arrest

LONDON, U.K. -- Kanye West lashed out against the paparazzi on Saturday, taking to his blog to explain his arrest in London for a scuffle with a photographer after leaving a club earlier this week. "I put my hand up to the camera in self defense!" he wrote. "I didn't assault him but merely [put] 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." (link)
