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.

you know what, the whole argument, that he's ok because he makes more money the those who don't like him, doesn't prove that he's a saint. i've got some money, but i'm a right bastard. and a photographer. pity it wasn't me. i'd let him give me a lick only to sue him later. my camera is worth ca. 9 grand. man has to do what man has to do. one is being a star and the other makes living by enabling him to be one by TALKING PICTURES OF HIM, so he can be famous and make even more money. get it?!
Look out!
Excited for Kanyes concert tomorrow night!!! YAY!!
