Hip-Hop luminary Kanye West was arrested in the early hours of Friday morning following a confrontation with a photographer. The rapper was thought to be arrested for assault but was later released without charge.
The incident happened outside the Tup Tup Palace cocktail bar in Newcastle which West had visited after playing a gig at the city's Metro Arena.
A spokesmen for the police said "We can confirm that a 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault following an incident at a Newcastle city centre nightclub in the early hours of this morning. He was released without charge and no further police action is being taken."
West is currently touring the UK as part of his Glow In The Dark tour. Watch the video for his new single Love Lockdown below and let us know what you think.
No Kanye isn't one of the best black musicians. As far as i'm concerned he isn't even a musician.
Jimi Hendrix, Chuck Berry, BB King, Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten, Stanley Clarke, Miles Davis, Oscar Peterson etc' These were talented black artists.
And for the record, two wrongs don't make a right, you won't get anywhere by being racist yourself.
Luv U Kanye x
Marvellous stuff from people being something they're not and never will be.
