Mos Def was being sought by police on an arrest warrant stemming from a scuffle with a photographer at a fashion trade show last August, authorities and the alleged victim said Thursday.
“I had no idea who the man was,” said Volker Corell, 60, a Los Angeles-based photographer who said the 35-year-old rapper and actor, whose real name is Dante Terrell Smith, ripped his camera from around his neck Aug. 26.
Corell said he was credentialed to represent a trade publication, and was taking photos at the Men’s Apparel and Garment Industry Convention in Las Vegas when he was allegedly attacked. He said the last four photos before his camera was broken clearly show Smith reaching toward him.

I believe that people have now gotten to the point that they will go to the lengths of incriminating others just to see thier own names in the paper. Making false accusations will ultimately be a number one killer of many people’s unrooted souls.

I do not believe that this occured. If it did, I wonder was he provoked. I wonder if the person taking the pictures felt responsible in any part-probably not.
Besides this, I think that people will do just about anything to see thier own names in the papers on a headline at the cost of celebrities reputations these days.
Men now would sale thier souls for a nickel.
