Kanye West was captured on video seemingly throwing a photographer’s phone during an incident on his way to his daughter’s basketball game.
Kanye is seen telling the paps that he wants to see his kids without them photographing him. The pap responded, “you can’t go home and see them?” Ye was seemingly confused by this response, paused, and said, “it’s called human rights,” before driving off.
In a separate interaction, Ye asks a fan to stop “running up” on him—the fan seemingly doesn’t understand his request.
The woman can be heard in the video shouting “You’re a celebrity!” before Kanye grabbed the phone.
After throwing the phone, West walked away to a nearby SUV.
