(ED NOTE: Early this morning we started receiving multiple emails from Kanye West, who claimed to have been arrested and begged us to post his missives on our blog. We had no choice but to comply. The following comes directly from Kanye, who is currently in jail.)

I am sick of negative people who sit around waiting for their chance 2 throw me in jail for freakin out on some paparazzi and breaking they camera!!!! WHAT IS THIS??!!!??!?!!!!!! I WAS JUST WALKING THROUGH THE AIRPORT TRYING TO GO TO MY MURAKAMI JET WHEN THESE BITCHES START FLASHING MY PICTURE AND FORCING ME TO TAKE AWAY THEIR NIKON D7000 – a wonderful model of professional digital camera – AND SMASH IT ON THE MOTHERF*CKING GROUND!!!! Lemme tell y’all what really happened with this shit. I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE INSULTED IN MY LIFE!!!!! I didn’t do nothing wrong except try to protect my right to privacy as a citizen and these bitches think they can put me in jail instead of them paparazzi motherf*ckers. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!! This is like Martin Luther King Jr’s letter from the Birmingham jail, except I’m in LA and I AM THE GREATEST!!!!! These haterz are gonna be sorry they did this shit when my AMAZING new album 808’s & Heartbreak drops in December. I been workin’ my motherf*cking ass off on this music because I’m a real motherf*cking artist and this is my masterpiece and these bitches are just tryin’ 2 shoot me down. But I can pay my f*ckin bail with the change in my pocket, and all y’all are gonna BOW DOWN BY THE TIME I’M DONE WITH THIS SH*T!!!! I’M PUTTIN’ Y’ALL ON LOVE LOCKDOWN WHEN I GET OUT OF LOCKDOWN!!!!

JAIL SUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!
