Hip-hop star Kanye West has had yet another unpleasant encounter with freelance photographers and yet another arrest, this time in Newcastle, England and is expressing his frustration with the paparazzi in his blog.

Kanye West is currently performing in the U.K. as part of his Glow in the Dark tour and a night out last week ended with Kanye having a bloody encounter with a paparazzo and then being arrested after the alleged victim filed a complaint.

Freelance photographer Terry Blackburn recounted the incident to BBC 1Xtra like he had just been minding his own business outside the Tup Tup Palace club when the rapper pushed the camera into his face, leaving his nose “cut open.” Kanye describes the incident as “bogus” on his blog and complains that the paps “are above the law” while “the people they shoot are under it.”

He was arrested early Friday morning, hours after the incident had taken place, on suspicion of assault, taken to a police station and subsequently released without charge. The artist explained on his blog that the police officers were “cordial” and said they had to arrest him because a complaint had been filed but that they knew this was a “stunt” on the photographer’s part.

Kanye also says he did not assault the man and that he finds it unfair to have his reputation tarnished when he was not at fault. Although he was not charged and although he had not assaulted anyone, “All that mattered was that I was arrested,” he wrote, referring to the attention lavished on the scuffle by the media.

Kanye West has had trouble with shutterbugs before. In September, he was accused of damaging a photographer’s camera during a run-in at Los Angeles International Airport. The alleged altercation has not led to a charge against him either.

Stating that he is not a celebrity but merely a normal person who happens to be famous, he brought to his readers’ attention the fact that “the paps killed Princess Diana” and that it would be “common courtesy” for someone to ask for permission before taking your photograph.
