Kanye West Enraged in Video After Allegedly Assaulting Autograph Seeker | TMZ

Cops are investigating Kanye West for allegedly punching an autograph seeker, and TMZ has obtained this video showing the man laid out on the street as Kanye rages at people who apparently work for him.

As we've reported, the alleged attack went down around 3 AM in DTLA, outside the SoHo Warehouse -- and Ye was absolutely livid. When the video starts he's screaming, "get away from me" at a woman who's desperately trying to calm him down. She also says, "I am your family," but he continued storming away in anger. We're told the woman is Ye's cousin.

“Can you please call the cops” (he says with a phone in his hand) bruh these people care only about their pictures not even their own safety

[ROOSKI]

Homey laying on the curb thinking about what will his first purchase be after Kanye settle out of court 😂😂

[realtalkwiththeking]

You can’t just run up on a person at 3am and think nothing is gonna happen to you.

[FionaF]

Why do they harass people then say “what is wrong with him”. Such clowns

[ransavage]

Man with a iPhone taping Kanye asking “can somebody call the cops?” Is basically where we stand at in society

[reese]

"can you please call the cops" as he clearly has a working phone in his had while he records lol What he really was saying is can you please call my lawyers

[retlem]

“Why did he do that?” “What’s wrong with him?” Lmao! They see no wrong in stalking people minding their own business. 🤦🏾‍♂️

[greekfreak]

It’s the stretched out “passed out” cameraman for me 🤣🤣 got his hand behind his head chillin, just waiting on the court date.

[baralah]

"Can you please call the cops?"

You're on a phone recording... you call the cops if it's that serious. 🤦🏾‍♀️

That goofy didn't want an autograph, be got exactly what he was looking for, conflict. If you approach someone and they say no, why are you following them around after they're trying to get away from you on a dark street. You do know people have actually been killed by crazy fans right.

[_axron_]

This is what happens when you dont leave a person alone and give them their personal space and you know damn well that dude wasn't a real fan, he just wanted the autograph to sell it on eBay

[SovereignServant]

Now here come everybody with the "Kanye is crazy shit" just believing anything headline they read. 🙄

[sumopixels]

What people don't see is how often YE is stalked, at some point enough is enough. And that dude is NOT a fan. I have met alot of entertainers and none of them punched me in the face. Its about how and when you approach people.

This is why Ye needs security around him at all times. He's too wealthy to be slugging people and ranting and shouting and just incriminating himself in every way. He knows the level he's at and he needs staff to protect his best interest financially.

[fekuduc]

Don’t mess with the Ye

Kanye’s *“Shut the fuck up”* to that paparazzi dude will live forever in my head rent free

[yellwberry]

The minute after that happened, every scumbag civil attorney buried that guy under a blanket of business cards

[reactiview]

For Kanye to reach that level of rage it means they didn't want to leave him alone they obviously wanted a controversial response out of him it's not fare J's leave the man alone his not God.

[hobb]

Kanye can easily say he was fearful for his life. I know I would.

[derickyesudas]

A celebrity has the right to say no to anything especially if they start harassing him. The tables would've turned if this was a female celeb but just cause its Ye everyone blaming him.
