Mr. West has again done what he does best: take to his blog in an effort to discuss a scuffle with the media, ruminating on the England incident and the media at large. Note to Kanye: we still love you. Anyway, here's an excerpt on what West had to say on this latest incident.
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.

Weekend Diversion: Night Of The Ponies


being famous would suck
Don't let the haters keep you down kanye!
if acted like this, i'm sure someone would try to commit me.
he's a good artist, but that's about it. what a baby.
at least the famous now have blogs to respond directly to the american people. This may be the end of flackery. Even Angie Jolie doesn't have a spokesperson now.
i dont know how they do it.
who wants somebody in your face all of the time.
i mean really, i can't stand people on the bus looking at me, (and for heaves sake don't touch me!) let alone constantly flashing cameras in your face.
but kanye needs to be smarter. don some shades and brush ya shoulders off and keep moving.
ALSO ALL CAPS ARE NOT NECESSARY KANYE WEST
Why is he yelling at me?
I really can't disagree with anything he wrote there.
i wanna feel sorry for him. i really do!!
Kanye West rocks isotoners and pea coats and bitches on his blog about how people hate him. claims he's from Chicago and rocks it in the 'burbs ... understand Kanye you are no Dilla and you suck.
Why is he yelling at me?
CAUSE THATS THE WAY HE TALKS! LIKE SAMMUEL A JACKSON! HAVEN"T YOU EVER SEEN HIS MOVIES? A SHARK ATE HIM!
