Instead of brushing him off, West reached the pap’s $10,000 camera and eventually smashed it into the ground.

When Kanye’s road manager (Don Crowley) realized that another photographer was rolling on the scuffle, he then grabbed that videographer’s camera and broke it too.

Gary DourdanAlthough he faced up to nearly 4 years in prison, actor managed to leave court today with only a slap on the hand.
