• LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Police were investigating a scuffle Friday between rapper Kanye West and a cameraman at Los Angeles International Airport, where paparazzi have been known to spend time in hopes of snapping shots of celebrities. • Numerous witnesses were interviewed about the afternoon incident to compile a report for detectives to investigate, LAX Police Sgt. Steve Savala said. • TMZ posted a video (http://tmz.me/1dKOufQ) of the tussle, showing West being thronged by cameras while trying to get into a white Mercedes Benz waiting curbside. • As flashbulbs illuminate his face, West accuses the paparazzi of trying to provoke him "so I have to pay you, like, $250,000." He then lunges at a photographer's camera and tries to wrestle it away. • West has had similar run-ins with paparazzi at LAX before, trading barbs with photographers who follow his every move. • ___
