Kanye's Off the Hook!
According to TMZ.com, the big mouthed rapper had his court case thrown out. Congrats Yeezy!
The suit in question stemmed from an incident in which Kanye and his manager smashed the cameras of two Paparazzi photographers at LAX in September of 2008.
A judge ruled in October that if West and his manager, Don Crowley, agreed to perform 50 hours of community service before returning to court, the case against them would be dismissed.

On Friday, West showed proof that both men completed the hours for the Red Cross and the case is no more.

In Other Kanye News…
Why come there was no sight of Yeezy at the GRAMMYs last night?
Rumor has it he wasn’t even invited! Ouch!
Although Kanye didn’t show up at the 52nd annual Grammy awards, several celebrities acknowledged him during the show. West won two awards for his collaboration with Rihanna and Jay-Z in “Run This Town”. The song took home the awards for best rap song and best rap/sung collaboration, according to MTV. Rihanna mentioned the absent West in their acceptance speech.
When asked about Kanye’s absence Drake said “I know he’s in a great creative space right now and I think that he’s working on his project.” Travis Barker of Blink 182 chimed in saying he heard Yeezy was “in Hawaii” and then advised for Mr. West to “stay there”.
Aaaannd… Kanye Responds to the haters:
Kanye finally took to his blog on Friday (Jan. 29th) to weigh in on all the harsh words being thrown his way. “I’m briefly saddened by negative comments, but I have to remember those people are scared, incapable or just plain idiots” Kanye wrote. “We are the f—ing rock stars baby. No cocaine, just life my n—-s!! No cocaine, just life! It’s funny to me when fashion bloggers down our outfits and then super jock outlandish s— on the runway but then they dress mad prude and don’t live fashion. We live it man. F— that, we live it!!! We live it so hard people live through us!”
Kanye went on to explain that living the life of an icon is never easy:
“Remember, there was a time when everybody dissed Michael Jackson every chance they could. Imagine the pressure of being a true icon. Very few human beings are strong enough to take constant hate!!!” he wrote. “If we don’t do what you feel is the s—, you beat us up verbally and mentally, like a catholic school teacher beating a creative student into submission. I can hear you screaming ‘color inside the lines!!!’ Well f— your coloring book, color by numbers approach to life.”
At the end of his rant, Kanye addressed the PETA backlash, sorta:
“At the end of the day who are we hurting??? Oh “the new black???” Since Barack is president blacks don’t like fur coats, red leather, and fried chicken any more?!” he wrote. “It’s life my n—–, it’s life! Remember clothing is a choice. We were born naked!!! Fresh is an opinion, love is objective, taste is selective, and expression is my favorite elective. No more politics or apologies!!!”
Yeesh… You can’t make this stuff up.
