Kanye clashes with paps again

September 30, 2013

Kanye West is reportedly planning to press charges against a photographer he clashed with outside his home.

According to gossip website TMZ, two photographers turned up at West’s Los Angeles mansion at 4am on 27 September to question him about his feud with Jimmy Kimmel, stemming from West’s Twitter outburst last week after Kimmel aired a skit mocking West on his show.

In a rant caught on camera, West told the paparazzi to "shut the f*** up".

He said: "Don’t say anything to me man. You’re out in front of my house at 4am asking, ‘How’s it going?’ It’s not going good.

"You’re out here trying to make money … You know I don’t want you to say nothing to me … Respect that."

TMZ reports that West has since reviewed CCTV footage that supposedly proves one of the photographers was trespassing on his property.

Earlier this month, West was charged with criminal battery and attempted grand theft after a clash with another photographer at Los Angeles International Airport.

Meanwhile, it revealed that West convinced girlfriend Kim Kardashian to leave their baby North at home while they travelled to Paris "because of his issues with photographers", and was upset because she was forced to stop breastfeeding earlier than planned.

A source told Radar Online: "Kim really wanted to take Nori to Paris but Kanye insisted that it wasn’t a good idea because of his issues with photographers. He thought it was too dangerous.

"Kim had wanted to continue breast feeding for another two months. She considered taking a breast pump with her to Paris and having either an assistant flying the milk back to L.A. or shipping it back by FedEx.

"Kanye thought that was ludicrous, and as usual he got his way."
