This is out of the ordinary….I thought Snoop owned the lease on the LAX arrest zone.

From CNN:

 An airport spokesman says police also arrested West’s road manager shortly before 8 a.m. on Thursday.

Airport spokesman Marshall Lowe says early reports are that West got into an altercation with a commercial photographer and a camera valued at more than $10,000 was broken.

A more detailed description from TMZ, who had a photographer on the scene:

Erik, our cameraman, is on his way back to our offices now, after being interviewed by LAX Police….

Erik says he was at Terminal 4 (American Airlines) when he noticed a still photog taking several pictures of Kanye West. Erik says West rushed the photog and grabbed his camera. A struggle ensued and the still guy was screaming, “Police, help!” Erik says Kanye then took the still camera and threw it on the ground, breaking it into pieces.

Erik then went over to Kanye, his camera rolling, when Kanye’s bodyguard walked up to him, realized Erik was taping, and said, “Give me the camera, give me the camera.” Erik responded that he had a press pass and had a right to shoot. The assistant then grabbed the camera, ripped off the mic and viewfinder and smashed it to the ground.

Erik says Kanye then tried to leave to board his plane, but cops stopped him before he got to security. The cops then interviewed Erik, the still photog, Kanye and his assistant..

This is where it gets crazy. The cops asked Erik if he videotaped the incident and Erik said he had. That’s when Kanye lunged toward him and said, “Give me the fu***ng videotape.” Cops had to restrain Kanye as he tried coming at Erik.

Ok, so my question is….

What happened at 7am that put ‘Ye in such a bad mood that he would get that angry at something that probably happens to him every day, in every city, all the time?

Now we want for the inevitable video….

Or did the first pap say something slick to get a reaction (which they often do) I am often amazed at the audacity.
