Mos Def Pulls A Kanye At LAX
A usually calm Mos Def hit up LAX airport yesterday and ended up wilin’ out on the paparazzi:
He had his family in tow so maybe that’s what set him off. But when Mos arrived at the airport, he clearly looked like he did not want to be bothered by the flashing lights. He ended up yelling at the paparazzi about taking his pics and his homeboy even had to hold him back from swinging on one of the photographers. Rough day….
More pics under the cut…
Mos was not tryin’ to have this ish yesterday.

The Randomness:
1. Eddie Murphy will appear on the “Top Model” finale. He’ll be cheering on his daughter Bria who will also appear in the episode.

Unfortunately, this is what happens when you are a “celebrity”. This comes with the territory.

Awww the lil girl looks scared and I am sure that added to his anger. The paps are outta control because they get paid big bucks for their photos. But on the real, Mos is def not A list so he should be happy that anyone wants to take his photo. I’m jus sayin’

Calm down boo! Don’t catch a case cuz of ignorance.
If a celeb don’t want his pic taken, that should be the end. He shouldn’t have to resort to gettin physical to gain a lil privacy. That’s crazy…

Um, that little girl looks just like him

Why should he? He’s a talented artist that doesn’t need to be stalked by the paps to be successful. They’re not doin anything but annoying him and his fam

The thing about a picture is that you can’t hear what’s being said, Paps say lots of inappropriate things to stars to get a reaction or if they aren’t getting a reaction, so you never know what was being said in front of his children/family. If someone wanted your picture and you were with your mom, grandma or kids and they said something like “aww come on, don’t be an a-hole or a B*tch, pose for a picture”, how would you react? What if your child said they were scared and you asked the paps to back off and they got even more agressive? Your job as a parent is to protect your kids, star status a,b,c,or d list has nothing to do with protecting the well-being of your child.

I agree. Plus the Paps probably said something to set him off or maybe it was just the fact he didn’t want to be bothered. Either way still love him.

I am not mad at Mos Def for wanting to give the paps a beat down–why they were hounding him? Not sure. I am rather hostile at his shoes tho…

Love me some Mos Def, and yes, the paps are out of control. But I think as a parent, he should also control himself infront of his kids, that is IF his kids were witnessing it all unfold.

Hahaha, I was laughin’ @ the shoes in the 3rd pic…
Yeh his run in the cypher was dope, but let me tell u, Eminem ripped that ish to shreds, pieced it back 2gether & then slaughtered it again/in-effin-sane…..

Wow… that child in the second pic (his daughter I assume) looks scared.

CO-SIGN 100% He’s a father and it doesn’t matter how much of a star he is or isn’t. Mos Def don’t give a fuck who wants to take his picture or not. Don’t disrespect the man then try and get a picture.

I could just imagine how out of line these paparazzi gets. Honeslty I dont know how ppl could deal with them, they would have to call the cops for me lol.

I’m sorry, I would have to go off. That baby looked terrified! They go too far and try to get too close. Don’t you have zoom on your lenses paps?

A LOT of n!ggas that’s down for the cause only bone ambiguously raced chicks. That’s the science.

Fa real. Nobody deserves to be treated like an animal. And those paps are nasty, they are always provoking people to try to get a wild shot. Why do you think kanye is always wilding out on them? when they’re saying stuff like “how would your mom feel if she knew you was with a skripper?” or “Kanye, does your girl have a dick?”
Not right.

its as simple as ignorin them and keep on walking or just sayin hi. they’re gonna take your pic either way might as well do it right. if he had done this,there wouldn’t be an issue. im tired of celebs being mad at papparrazzi, it comes with the business, get used to it because it will only get worse as your career goes on.

if no one sees the look on that kids face yall b!tches is blind. He’s a celeb yes, if he was alone i woulda said aight but he’s with his fam man. Celeb alone is one thing but with their kids man….she looked scared as hell, i think Cali or somewhere has a law abt when celebs are with their kids….some sorta distance is req’d i believe. That’s private time man i mean come on, family time, they with their kids..you can take it from afar u knw, across the street or sum but up in they face like that…..aw man that’ just intruding too much

True again..but in AR case, she isn’t really one that “most people” respected before “whored fame” or without(so to speak). Ye hasn’t always been harassed by the pazzi’s in this way, I mean the pazzi’s did give me “some” space with Lexi…some, not enough, but still showed respect. I think in some cases (not Mos Def’s) it has a lot to do with the “company” that you keep, which determines what responses you get. Every hollywood & weird couple don’t receive “disrepect” from the pazzi’s. I ain’t mean to run…I was just agreeing.

we about to be friends up in here cause ur on point
@ cosmanot
i was thinking the same thing. the so-called down for the cause brothas most of them water down the race. such hypocrites. in the movie dont-be-a-menace-while-drinking-juice-in-the-hood addressed the hypocracy years ago. smh. overall, its a strong sign of weakness on their part. in 20-30 years, we r going to wonder y sports and music entertainment is so wack. large portion of the truly gifted and talented are brown and blk ppl.

first of all- if celebs don’t want their pic to be taken in LOS ANGELES then maybe they should hit spots where the Paps won’t be, come on sure we can shout they deserve privacy which they do but PICTURES come with being a celebrity- Next time don’t fly outta LAX hit up the smaller aiports where the paps won’t be like Burbank, long beach or Orange County or fly at a time when the paps won’t be there most likely- other than that- they need to get over it and understand that this is what they get themselves into and it goes with the territory of being a celeb- And who cares what the paps are shouting-keep walking and give them no attention- I don’t feel sorry for them at all- and what does Mos Def have on???

The law is that paps can’t be near schools- I don’t feel sorry for him- these celebs are crazy to think that pics don’t come with the territory of being a celeb- I live in LA and there are only a few spots like LAX in the morning and mid afternoon) where you know the paps will be- unless they were attacking the kids or running over them he should have kept it pushing regardless of anything being said he caused more of a ruckus- I don’t feel sorry for him- the paps are there everyday taking pics of celebs and those who understand that don’t act like fools they just keep it pushing

Mos is Muslim, and he doesn’t want anyone in his business. They are very private people! It’s also annoying whne people will not leave you alone when you are spending time with your fam.

not evrybody wants their pictures to b taken if they are not on the red carpet..simple as that..not evrybody is callin paps like oh take a pic of me here or there…mos def doesnt look like that type..i mean seriously??

I dont condone the papparazi taking pictures of children and clearly Mos looks like he was trying to protect his family. His little girl looks scared and maybe that prompted him to react that way. My folks will protect me from anything harmful to me and believe me thoes paps can get violent!

I agree, not a good look for Mos Def - sorry gotta ask, his baby mamma white? Daughter cute but errrrr a…..I perceived Mos to keep it Mos real, if his baby mamma is white…i can no longer be in love with what i thought to be a quirky but handsome conscious rapper that would only love a sista???
