Kanye West Reacts to His Arrest in England

 
Kanye West gives his side of the story regarding his arrest in Newcastle, England on Friday after an altercation with a member of the paparazzi. In a recent blog titled " Who's winning, me or the media ," Kanye explains the events that led to his arrest. "I was encountered by a thirsty paparazzi as usual. He felt he had more rights to my space then me, so I put my hand up to prevent him from taking my image." He continues, "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 [the paparazzo's] nose." (link)
