Diva moment! Just days after his praised performance at the VMAs, rapper Kanye West has been arrested on suspicion of vandalism and battery. According to a TMZ cameraman, West rushed a photog, grabbed his camera, and smashed it to the ground. The rapper’s bodyguard then proceeded to approach the TMZ man and ripped the camera from his hands. An alleged $10,000 worth of camera equipment was damaged.

At least the tape was salvaged for all the world to see:

Kanye’s going to need a lot more than a hoodie to hide that ego of his.
