The paparazzi didn't take Yeezus' warning of "I don't want to hear paparazzi talk to me" seriously.
While West was leaving the airport, videographer Daniel Ramos began to follow him while asking him questions. The rapper, 36, continued to ignored Ramos before getting angry and confronting the guy.
The altercation was recorded and posted on TMZ. In the video, West, 36, tells Ramos, "What you're trying to do is get me in trouble, so I can steal off you and have to pay you like $250,000."
The video becomes a blur when the Black Skinhead rapper tried grabbing the camera away from Ramos. West then jumped into a waiting car and drove away.
Ramos was taken to the hospital and the extent of his injuries are unknown. He filed a police report and wants to press charges.
A source close to West told Us Weekly, "he didn't hurt the pap. They were just heckling him as usual. Kanye went to grab the camera and the guy fell being so dramatic."
This isn't the first time Ramos has gotten into a scuffle a celebrity. In 2007, Britney Spears bashed his SUV with her umbrella after he pursued and photographed her .
According to TMZ, the case is being referred to the LA County district attorney as a felony attempted robbery and not a battery case.
