Kanye West has hit back at hitting back after he was arrested for attacking a photographer in England this week.

In a statement at his blog, West says “a picture is worth a thousand words, theirs are worth a thousand dollars”.

West is claiming self defence after being arrested for attacking the pap but says ““I didn’t assault him, but merely putting my hand up to cover his lens”.

At the blog he says “let us not forget the Paps killed Princess Diana. When will there be a law passed that simply emforces that someone has to ask for a photograph of you?”

“I am protecting my personal space since there are no laws to protect that from me,” he added.

West will return to Australia for his next tour on December 5.
