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.

it makes me laugh when i see ignorant dumb people who think, that you have to be white to be racist. so far most racist comments were left by those who defended the arrogant so-called artist. making big money doesn't give anybody excuse to act like a prick . if you act like a gangster you'll be treated like one. and now children, stop accusing others of being racist. don't you have any stabbing or something to do?

did you mean 'you are a star' ? :-) rite i get it u is bare street n tingz.

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?!

photogs can be annoying, but their presence come with the territory. we just do our job! not all of us stalk celebs and their minders are sometimes heavy handed too. the other week gwyneth paltrow's body guard made me format my memory card. i could have a fight with him, as it was a public place where EVERYBODY is allowed to take pictures, but i didn't want to spoil a charity event. what a knob. still, some celebs just don't get it. they want to be famous by any means necessary at first, but once they're on top they forget who placed them there and blab about their privacy.

Kanye is a pompous egotistical jerk. I wish he had stayed in jail

137. Yahoo! Music User -
I know the photographer that was assaulted. He deserved what he got.
The photographer is pondlife that goes out of his way to provoke a reaction from celebs.

Kanye hates white people, and is generally a whining [profane] anyway (Did you SEE his outbursts following his not-winning of awards!?), so I hope he gets sent down someday soon, even though I like some of his music...

This guy is the biggest joke to come out of America since G. Bush!!
Never before have I ever heard so much self loving and self adoration!
Wake up people- stop boosting this guys already over inflated ego!
Voice of a generation?
Voice of a XXXX more like!

Police he has no charges against him, therefore he did nothing wrong. Those who say he can't sing, i don't agree with you.
