Kanye Tells Paps He Wants A Percentage of the Money They Make off His Image
By Mutha
Kanye West has decided that he wants a cut of the money paparazzi makes off taking his pics.
The billionaire said to them while at the airport, "Right now y'all get to shoot us without having to pay. I'mma change that. I'm not saying it in a negative way. It's just like, right now, it's just really one-sided. You guys can follow us, you guys can stand [outside] a hotel at any given time—you don't give us any percentage of what you're making off of us, off of our kids, and I'm gonna change that."
He also said, "We all gotta make money together … It can't be a one-sided thing. Look, if I'm just with my kids, I say I don't want you to shoot me, then that's just something y'all gotta respect … We can get that money together, but we gotta have a conversation."
