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.

get a life and stop criticising someone who has worded hard to get where he is today.

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.
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.
