A smackdown involving Kanye West went down today at LAX when a photographer wouldn't stop snapping pictures of the narcisstic rapper.

TMZ is reporting that their photographer named Erik witnessed Kanye grabbing a camera from a still photographer and smashing it. With his own footage rolling, Erik approached West and his entourage and an assistant grabbed his camera and smashed it.

West then tried to board his plane but was stopped by police and interviewed. Cops also interviewed Erik, who told police he had video of the incident. When Kanye heard this, he lunged toward him and said, "Give me the fuckng videotape."

After cops restrained him, Kanye was arrested on felony vandalism charges. His assistant was also booked.
