West Lockdown

Kanye West has some explaining to do to his fans. Then again, he was arrested for tackling a photographer - if every celebrity was booked for that, there would be no entertainment industry!

Kanye in England prior to his arrest We love the Grammy winner as much you, and everyone's entitled to a slip up we suppose, but again?

West was recentl yarrested in London after a scuffle with a photographer!

Like most celebs turning to their blog for their cause (and by that we mean their fans), he dismisses the fact it was a bit over the line (and by that we mean over the top).

He blogs,

"I put my hand up to the camera in self-defense! I didn't assault him but merely [put] my hand up to cover his lens. My security yelled, 'Get the camera off him.' I guess in all the commotion, the camera scraped his nose."

Do you believe his response? Let us know. Something tells me, Kanye West also has a bridge in Brooklyn for sale.
