New York photographer Michael Vazquez has filed a lawsuit against Kanye West alleging that he was “assaulted, battered, beat and threatened” by Kanye and his security team during a show in May 2008—months before Kanye and his manager definitely fought with two photographers at LAX and allegedly assaulted another photographer in northern England. Apparently 2008 was not a good year to try to take a picture of Kanye West. Anyway, the New York Post reports that the incident occurred while Vazquez was at a party celebrating Casio’s G-Shock watch, at which Kanye was paid $1 million to perform while “backed by topless dancers wearing space helmets,” so you can see why Kanye would have been in a foul mood.
