Mos Def Isn't Camera Friendly

I've always thought that celebs need not spazz out when someone takes their pictures... especially when it's in a public place. To hop over the walls of someones home or completely invade thier privacy on that persons on property is definitely a no no; But when you're at a public event... I'm sorry buddy but, you're fair game!

Well I guess a pap had to learn that the hard way in Las Vegas. According to reports, Mos Def was in Vegas for the Magic Convention and upon his entrance into the event, someone snapped a pic. Now most folks in the industry know that Mos Def isn't a big fan of people taking his pictures without his consent, so I'm guess that whoever the person is was either new to the game, or maybe just a fan, who knows.

Once the picture was taken, all hell broke loose. Mos Def flipped out on the photographer. According to witnesses, he began yelling "Everyone knows I don't take pictures!" Well obviously this dude didn't. Anyway, Mos allegedly grabbed the camera and ended up breaking it and somehow the photog ended up bloody too. It's also being said that Mos gave him fair warning.

As expected, the photog reportedly plans to sue Mos Def. Mos was supposed to make an appearance at the event, but instead just bounced. I'm lost though. Why don't you want your pictures taken? Didn't YOU sign up to be a celebrity? Who the hell are you hiding from Dante?
