Paramedics and Police were called after Kanye West clashed with a photographer at Los Angeles International airport on Friday.
The 36-year-old, who recently welcomed his first child with Kim Kardashian, was involved in an altercation with a paparazzo who was behaving in a 'aggressive' manner, according to TMZ.
The photographer firied off a string of questions despite Kanye asking him not to.
Kanye allegedly attempted to throw several punches and the man fell down, the website reports.
Paramedics and police were called to the scene and the photographer was taken away in an ambulance, while Kanye left with his bodyguard in their car.
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Airport Police said in a statement to X17online: 'Today at approximately 2:00 p.m., at the Tom Bradley International Terminal (on the arrival level curbside), Los Angeles Airport Police officers were flagged down by a citizen (photographer) who alleged that he was taking pictures of an individual when he was battered by the subject.'
'The alleged subject was not at the location nor was he observed by officers at the scene.'
Adding: 'LAFD was notified, responded to the location and transported the victim to a local hospital for medical attention. A police report was taken by the Los Angeles Police Department and the investigation is ongoing.'
The rapper has made no secret of his contempt for photographers and just last week he went on a furious rant while at the same airport after a snapper complimented his music.
'Don't talk, don't talk to me,' he said in the outburst while grabbing the camera.
However, Kanye, appears to be completely oblivious to the fact that his girlfriend and mother of his child, Kim Kardashian, 32, is a reality star who has made her name through constantly being photographed and followed by cameras.
Kim and her family have allowed camera crews into their homes since their show Keeping Up With The Kardashians became a hit in 2007 following Kim's sex tape scandal.
Since then, all members of the family have relied on reality television to acquire fame, actively seeking out press and publicity to enhance their careers.
But it seems that Kanye has had trouble adjusting to the lifestyle.
Sadly for the Kardashians, Kanye's violent outburst took place on the same day that Kim's mother Kris Jenner insisted that the rapper does not have a temper.
