Kanye Arrested After Nightclub Fracas

Posted Fri 14 Nov 2008 5:39PM GMT by Mitch Cater in The Guestlist
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.

PS. The song above, is pathetically woeful. Anyone who calls this "music" must be brain-damaged. It sounds like everything else in the charts these days. [profane]ing chip-munk music. [profane]got- [profane].

Monkey Business. Gorilla Magic. Primate nonsense. Just some of the terms which describe Kanye West's "music."

i love kanye's music and sense of style,though he can sometimes be arrogant and proud but its might worth it at the end of the day moreso he loves his mum just like i do.his haters should listen to stronger cos he has a word for them

Kanye looks like a nasty piece of work, and he's finally starting to show his true colours...."Jesus Walks" my @ss....

Is this not meant to be about music not colour?

96. Yahoo! Music User -
kanye west rocks man ya ya

It ceases to be about colour when Kanye stops talking about the "race issue."
And, people who say, "Kanye's talented so he deserves to be arrogant," --they need to be shot. Nobody, NOBODY has the right to be arrogant. My best friend is a Heart surgeon who has saved many lives. Does he deserve to be arrogant? My grandfather fought in the Second World War, so that [profane]s like Kanye West could live without Nazi oppression. Does my grandfather deserve to be arrogant? Mother Teresa set up 200 orphanages across India to save little kids without parents? Was she ever arrogant? If it wasn't for the mere fact that he makes "music", Kanye would be a nobody...which is what he is anyway.

My comment above was not about colour (if you're referring to my comment about him looking like a nasty piece of work)

Kanye West is one of THE most talentless losers to ever grace this fair planet. Whoever gave this guy a record deal must have been on Ketamin or some other strong tranquilliser. His ego is as big as Jupiter and he's as shallow as a puddle. His music lacks depth and should be destroyed. He is only in the music business for the money. Anyone who is in this business for the money is in it for the wrong reason. Music is an emotion, not a way to get rich quick. There are tens of thousands of better musicians than him who are not getting recognised and that is a shame. He should just give up the senseless noise that he is "making" (I use quotation marks because he isn't even making most of the stuff) and go work at an office or something.

If anyone calls me out on this, I am a music student. I know what I am talking about. He really is not a good musician.
