Mos Def Attacks Photographer

Mos Def does not like paparazzi or random people taking his picture. So Mos was in Las Vegas for the MAGIC fashion convention when some random dude, who didn't know Mos' aversion to snapshots, tried to get a picture of the camera-shy rapper/actor. They say your boy went off, screaming: "Everybody knows I don't take pictures!" and snatched dude's camera off his neck, cutting the shooters hand in the process. Mos is now under investigation for larceny and you can bet a lawsuit is not far behind.

8:22... at least Mos got real talent, unlike these other cats who are so called "hot". Mos and Talib Kweli kill anybody you put in front of them. Mos is a good actor too. Sadly, our community doesn't get behind the dudes with the REAL talent.

Mos Def, if you don't like your picture taken, why not try some Michael J. type disguises?
Might be good for keeping an eye on your wife too.

"Everybody knows I don't take pics!" - Ummmm not really. Why is he an actor/rapper and at a celebrity event if he expects a pic to not be taken. Stop the Kanye/Diddy bitch assness.

Damn Mos.

I'm a fan of his. But he needs to realize that photos are a part of being a celebrity. He could've handled this much netter.

I can't believe this Mos.

Talk about ego.
Yes you are very talented but guess what ya dummy? Getting ya friggin pic taken is what celebrityism is all about. It comes wit da territory.

Think back to those pre-fame years when you couldn't even get your pic taken at a family reunion.
check yo self bruh... God don't like ugly.

i love mos. i saw on tmz a while back he doesn't like his picture taken. it has to be based on permission or there wouldn't be any pictures of him. he told the photog on tmz that "i'm from bedstuy and where i'm from, you don't take people's pictures without permission" and that's true.. it's just looks bad on paper. i bet the pap had a big ass camera in his face with bright flashes.

his wife is a ho? i knew she wasn't the beautiful black woman he's always rapping about... smh.

I mentioned that Mos has gone Hollywood on me, and I guess with good reason:

# Bury Me Standing (2010) (in production)
# Keep Coming Back (2008) (in production)
# Little Scarlet (2010) (announced) .... Mouse
# The Brazilian Job (2009) (announced) .... Left Ear
# Toussaint (2009) (pre-production)
# Mama Black Widow (2008) (pre-production) .... Papa Tilson
# Cadillac Records (2008) (post-production) .... Chuck Berry
# Next Day Air (2008) (post-production) .... Eric


That brotha is busy and in demand. I normally look up the profiles of Black actors/actresses on imdb to see who's NOT getting work in the industry, but I missed this one. Mos done went Hollywood on meh...

"Everybody knows I don't take pictures!" I'm sorry I didn't know that. You are a celebrity and you are out in the public. I use to enjoy your music and acting roles. Now I'm turned off.

sounds like he needs to find another profession, or pull a howard hughes/greta garbo.

being an entertainer is like getting the money's paw. be careful what you wish for, cause you just might get it--and won't necessarily be able to handle it.

@beegee- I really want to see the Toussiant pic but I read on another blog they Danny Glover was having trouble getting backing for the film. Execs keep saying the movie needed a white hero.

to the idiots that believe that being a celebrity automatically means you should be used to/ tolerate people taking your pictures at random moments, whenever you go out, etc....get a clue.
some celebrities are simply doing their jobs, and try to shy away from the media attention, unlike most of the famewhores we see on a daily basis.
