Kanye West has had one too many negative run-ins with paparazzi and fans who have been trying to capture photos and videos of his everyday moments. Earlier this week, he figured out a new to handle them without resorting to violence.
According to a report TMZ published on Thursday, February 16, the beleaguered rapper was spotted heading into L.A. County Sheriff's West Hollywood Station to report an encounter with photographers on Tuesday afternoon. Sources with knowledge of the situation told the outlet that Ye walked into the station and told officers that his alleged interaction almost turned violent but he didn't engage with the pap any further.
The L.A.P.D. is looking deeper into the situation. The sources said that Ye peacefully left the police station after he finished filing his report. His new approach to confronting the paparazzi comes after he had been involved in a couple of incidents that have gone viral. The most recent instance happened last month when he accused a woman of following him in her car. After he confronted her about it, she claimed that she was recording because he's a celebrity. That was enough to make Ye slap the phone out of her hand. Their heated interaction made Ye a suspect in a battery investigation.
Ye's latest experience with the paparazzi occurred on the same day he was spotted at a movie theater in Los Angeles with his new wife Bianca Censori, Russell Simmons and producer 88-Keys. Photographers followed them all as they left the AMC Theater in Hollywood and went to their cars at a nearby garage. There's no confirmation on whether the two instances are related.
