Rapper Kanye West is reportedly planning to press charge against a paparazzo, who showed up at his house early morning and asked about his feud with talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.
West's latest paparazzi altercation took place in front of his house at around 4 am. As the 36-year-old singer stepped out and was about to leave, a group of photographers approached him and repeatedly asked about his Twitter rant against the late-night talk show host, reported TMZ online.
The father of one apparently got really upset and told the group to "shut up."
"Don't say anything to me man. You're out in front of my house at 4 am asking, 'How's it going?' It's not going good. You're out here trying to make money... You know I don't want you to say nothing to me... Respect that (sic)," West was heard saying in a video.
West also tried to knock the camera out of the photographer's hand.
The Grammy-winning rapper is now going to file a police report following the incident, citing that the paparazzi trespassed on his property.
West previously lashed out against Kimmel, after he made a parody of his interview with BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe, on an episode of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'.
West wrote on Twitter, "Jimmy Kimmel is out of line to try and spoof in any way the first piece of honest media in years."
Kimmel responded to West's Twitter rant on his show, saying, "I don't understand it. I don't know why he's angry again. The bit was pretty, I thought, innocuous, but finally I am in a rap feud."
Kimmel also revealed that West demanded a public apology.
