Kanye West Says He Respects French Paparazzi

    Following Friday’s (September 27) contentious confrontation with two photographers outside of his California home, Kanye West traveled to France, where he says he respects paparazzi. 

    In a video posted today (September 30) on TMZ, West speaks to photographers/videographers in France. 

    “Don’t ask me no questions,” Kanye West says in the clip. “Don’t ask questions. Just take the video. Don’t do like the L.A. [paparazzi]. I like how you guys move out here. You guys have total respect for yourselves. You’ve got respect for the people you photograph. You also take time off at like 8 o’clock. You’re not around peoples’ houses and stuff like that. I just really appreciate and respect that. I understand that you have to make a living. Let me shake your hand. I appreciate that.” 

    The video of West’s interaction with French paparazzi can be viewed below. 

    On September 27, West confronted California paparazzi in his driveway

    “Don’t say anything to me, man,” Kanye West said in the clip outside of his home. “Stop asking me questions. You out in front of my house at 4 am, talking ’bout, ‘How’s it going?’ It’s not going good. Y’all out here trying to make money off us. That’s how it’s going. It’s 4 am. It’s 4am and you ask me how it’s going. You know I don’t want you to say nothing to me. You hear what I’m saying? Respect that.

    “Shut the fuck up,” West continued. “It’s 4am, you blood-sucking mosquito. You want me to be standing out in front of your house at 4am? Pick a profession with some type of respect to it.”

    1. Funny when that girl didnt know who the fuck he is. I bet that shit burned his soul when she asked who the hell he was!

    2. he’s right, they’re parasites, any rational person would react the same way if they were subjected to their BS 24/7

      1. All they do is take pictures. Kanye is the one flipping out and walking into signs. This is America for a reason. You can’t tell someone not to take you picture or follow you down the street, especially when you’re a celebrity which makes you free game as it is.

      2. You can tell them you don’t like it in America. He doesn’t have to accept that. Let me see you go around and start taking pictures of people and watch how fast you end up knocked out.

    3. this would be cool and respectable if it was sincere. He’s on “good behavior” because he has a pending case…

      and He knows the European press will destroy any chances of him making it in the fashion industry over there. His childish antics don’t work over there.

    4. “…Y’all out here trying to make money off us.” “Pick a profession with some type of respect to it.”

      made me LOL

      1. His girlfriend isn’t standing outside of people’s house getting in their business. What she does was on her own property with her own places. Its a huge difference #Hating ass losers

    5. Kim kardashian would sell footage of her having a live abortion if she suddenly went un-popular and needed exposure

      She’s the ultimate fame-whore fuck kanye and his bitching send his ass back to chi-town broke bet he change his attitude quick

      1. let’s put your girl on the summerjam screen, you preaching like she’s the ultimate woman of the universe

      1. you ain’t from mexico, they have bands who play for cartels that die for their ties and music. you ain’t complaining about that.

        elton john, black sabbath, sting, mariah carey, pink, many more did it. done for many years. probably done in your country too, you ain’t complaining about that. how hypocritical of you to constantly point out kanye like he’s a bad, bad man.

      1. This nigga was nutso long before Paps really got at him. The “Bush hates black people” shit and him hopping on stage with Taylor Swift set all this shit off.

    6. Just to put some context to that story, you have to know that the legislation in totally different in France. An individual owns his image and wins everytime in court if pictures are published without his approval. Gossip magazines have a budget to handle the fines but the paparazzi are less intrusive for that reason.

    7. “especially when you think about who his girlfriend is! so respectable!”

      ^ lol

      -it’s obvious that lame gets no respect in life
      -we don’t respect yo momma for letting you run amok on the ‘net and not checking your activity
      -you too mad at Kim, some little girl turned you down

    8. FACTS

      – Pac went to a rich kid school.
      – Pac had a boyfriend.
      – Pac took ballet classes.
      – Pac was a ballerina.
      – Pac wore a tu-tu.
      – Pac had a homosexual tone to his voice before the whole “Thug Life” image he pushed.

      Pac was a faggot.

      Wayne is a Triple OG Blood.

    9. “This community is turning into it’s own TMZ, defending Paps and shit. Paps are worthless.”

      ^ not that

      it’s the GENERATION, not just the community. The last generation had The Golden Globe & National Enquirer, the supermarket tabloid (aka women demographic is targeted) scumbag journalism.

      With the rise of CABLE with E! and daytime gossip shows, these are the KIDS who were around mommy, in front of the TV or at the supermarket while she digested the gossip, and her sons are avid followers.

      Look at the majority demographic here at HHDX, young males, 12-28 (also coincides with the rise of cable programming), the GENERATION with TMZ, Twitter, Facebook/Instagram, websites (they post the same content), ALL gossip medians.

      So of course they cosign it, it was taught being around mommy instead of books.

    11. French paparazzi are the ones that chased Princess Diana and she ended up getting killed when her car crashed. I have never heard of people dying because of U.S. paparazzi.

    12. well obviously paparazzi are worst in america; we have the most ignorant people living among us. people that cant put the people magazine down for two minutes. Its pretty sad that they care so much about someone elses every move honestly.

      1. they pretty much killed princess diana in paris, i’d say thats way worse than anything the american paparazzi done
