Despite trying to make it look like fresh footage of Ye engaged in a pap fight, the new clip does not do enough to force West to speak out.

A video went viral Tuesday that appeared to show rapper Kanye West use some sick MMA-style fighting skills to take down two paparazzi. The video was titled “Kanye West Attacks Paparazzi.” The video in question was supposedly taken this weekend in Austin, Texas. But Kanye was in New York City to celebrate Leonardo DiCaprio’s 39th birthday at night then took a private jet back to LA the next day … Unless he made an overnight side-trip to Austin to brawl in the street with strangers for no apparent reason, it’s not him. Also, there are no “paparazzi” anywhere to be seen. None of the people fighting have cameras, and thus aren’t paparazzi. In fact no one has a camera except the guy filming some guys having a street brawl on his cell phone. And last but not least, Kanye is already in trouble with the law for brawling with a paparazzo outside of LAX last summer and per his lawyer’s advice has been on his best behavior around the paparazzi since.

Select media outlets have confirmed Mr. West is not the person featured in the clip.

TMZ has confirmed … the fighter is NOT Kanye. The video was shot in Austin, TX and Mr. Kardashian wasn’t there at the time this hit the Internet. Our Kanye sources say he’s aware of the video and laughed, saying if it were really him, he’d be in jail for sure. All that aside, you gotta see this video. It’s awesome. (TMZ)

Initial reports suggested the recently engaged hip-hop star could have been responsible for another recorded scuffle.

A violent video of Kanye West fighting off paparazzi in Austin, Texas is being passed around throughout the web, however, the grainy video cannot confirm it’s ‘Yeezus’ knocking out two men. The video shows a Kanye look-a-like swinging on one man wearing a black shirt before turning around and knocking out a man in a white shirt. Watch the new viral video and tell us if you think it’s Kanye. (MStarz)

Recently, Mr. West said the paps could serve as a premium outlet to get messages out to the public.

“They help me to influence. At any point, if I want to talk directly to the public, I can use that outlet too,” Kanye explained in an interview. “I should be respected to the highest level at this point for what I’ve been able to accomplish at this age.” (“Big Boy’s Neighborhood”)

  1. I think the writer of this crap needs to learn to be positive. just wish the young man all the best and lets root for his success and great achievement for once. It’s about time that we as black people needs some decency in our life’s and be positive also supportive of one another. Tired of hearing the negativity about this young man just living his life the way he knows best. Law suits from everyone, he can’t have a lil good time with-ought cameras of grown ass men watching to report or write something negative. Oh CB just stood up, now he’s sitting down type shit like who cares. How many times can you really shoot a man down, Shit! i wander how he’s able to walk tall daily with-ought the Kurt Cobain thoughts. Need a reason to stay alive and live thru the bull, he’s for should be a postal child for that it’s going to be alright slogan.

  2. Sounds like a planned out publicity stunt. The dude doesnt have a love potion, hes just RICH. Are you guys really that dumb to believe two chicks left him and came back crawling after all “stupid shit hes done”. Bitch please, this is all fake and chris brown have a very good PR agent to get these rumors started

    • No, I totally disagree about the PR with the exception of the part about bailing him out. Brown’s kind of stupidity is the real deal. .. there have always been chicks ready to be some musicians doormat. Nothing new here… move along.

  3. Ultimately, mad-face Kanye just walked away and continued the party with Jamie Foxx and his male friends

    jamie foxxx and kanye are always in gay rumors

    they probably gonna start one cuz of that lol
