What one photographer at LAX said earlier today as Kanye West was leaving the terminal: “Kanye. Can we talk to you, Kanye? What’s going on, man? What was up with all that stuff? Do you just wanna squash all that? Because you’re a cool guy. C’mon, Kanye. Be cool, man. I mean, what’s going on? Why can’t we talk to you? C’mon, Kanye, I don’t wanna fight with you. Dude, seriously, I don’t want to fight with you. No, no…nonono.”
What Kanye and I heard: “PUNCH ME PUNCH ME PUNCH ME PUNCH ME PUNCH ME PUNCH ME PUNCH ME PUNCH ME PUNCH ME PUNCH ME PUNCH ME PUNCH ME PUNCH ME PUNCH ME PUNCH ME PUNCH ME PUNCH ME PUNCH ME PUNCH ME PUNCH ME PUNCH ME PUNCH ME PUNCH ME PUNCH ME PUNCH ME.”
So, according to TMZ, he did.
An eyewitness tells us, Kanye was leaving the terminal…and approximately five paparazzi surrounded him. We’re told one photog was especially aggressive — not a TMZ photog — and probed Kanye with questions. We’re told Kanye told the man not to ask him questions, but he kept going — and Kanye attacked, attempting several punches, and the man fell down. Paramedics and police are currently on scene. (Via)
Now I want to see Kanye fight Alec Baldwin, with Jay-Z and Billy Baldwin as their tag-team partners. I’ll film it.
