Kanye West was arrested at LAX at about 7:50 am this morning on suspicion of vandalism and an altercation with a photographer. Apparently a camera valued at more than 10,000 was broken.

Kanye is known for such hits as Stronger and Gold Digger and he co-founded the Dr. Donda West Foundation whose mission is to reduce the number of kids who drop out of school. The Foundation’s first initiative, Loop Dreams, challenged at-risk students to learn how to write and produce music while simultaneously improving their academic skills.
