Kanye West’s beef with the paparazzi continued in Los Angeles on Monday (January 29). The controversial artist grabbed a woman’s camera after she ran up on him and asked if his wife Bianca Censori had free will.
“Don’t come ask me that dumb ass s###,” he told her. “I’m a person. You got kids? Exactly. So, what do you do? Who do you work for? Why do you feel like it’s OK—I’m a human being … Y’all set celebrities up, all this b#######. I don’t give a f### what y’all got to do. What y’all got to do? What y’all got to say? Don’t come at me with that s### … What, you think because you a white woman you can walk up on me like that and ask me some dumb ass s### like that?”
Kanye reprimanded the woman for her approach during their face-to-face confrontation. The masked rapper/producer was outraged by the suggestion of him controlling his wife, calling it “disrespectful.” Ye held the camera and fired off his own questions, telling the woman he was on his way to Charlie Wilson’s Walk of Fame ceremony.
“This is America,” he said. “You got free will or you work for the devil? I’m a legend. You understand that? I’m here to support Charlie Wilson. You come ask me some dumb ass s### about my wife. That’s my wife! You understand? You wasn’t asking s### when I couldn’t see my kids.”
Ye eventually gave the camera back to the woman as their tense interaction settled down. He even offered her a job, promising to pay her more than TMZ.
“Whatchu make a year?” Kanye said. “I’ll pay you double what they paying you. You wanna work for me instead? Now you smiling. Get her contact.”
