In a crazy new video from TMZ, rapper Kanye West is shown lashing out at a paparazzi photographer while entering LAX, putting his hand right in front of the camera and asking for the photographer not to speak to him, the Daily Mail reports.
"Yo, what's up, Yeezus? I'm a big fan, bro," the cameraman said to the rapper. West stopped his cell phone conversation to confront the photographer, putting his hand on the camera lens, blocking most of the shot. "I appreciate it, but don't talk," he said. "That's fine, but don't talk to me."
"I don't wan't to hear paparazzi talk to me or anybody I know," he went on, yelling, "And tell everybody never talk to anyone that anyone knows...don't talk to themselves...don't talk to me ever gain," his anger visibly mounting during the confrontation.
"I do love you though!" the cameraman responded, continuing to trail the volatile rapper into the airport. But even after West's demands, the photographer went on to ask, "What about 'The Throne' 2?," referencing a very likely sequel to West and Jay-Z's collaborative album, "Watch the Throne."
West snapped around and put his hand back up. "I said don't talk!" he is heard saying before the video cuts away.
This is not the first time West has lashed out at a paparazzi photographer. Back in 2008, he was arrested after smashing up TMZ equipment. In the new video from TMZ, West appears ready to make a similar move before the cameraman shuts off filming.
The notoriously private star wants his, and the life of his newborn daughter North West, out of the limelight, even though that may not be possible as the baby girl is now part of the fame-loving Kardashian clan. So far Kim Kardashian has agreed to keeping the baby's life private, but many speculate that it's only a matter of time before little Nori makes her first public appearance.
Currently the couple are living in Kris Jenner's home in Calabasas, and on Thursday West was spotted visiting upmarket furniture stores in Los Angeles. While West and Kardashian bought their own $11 million mansion together in January, the 10,000 square-foot property is currently under renovation, so the new parents are shacking it up at Grandma Jenner's in the meantime.
