“I want to just see my kids. Everybody [paparazzi] got to stop when I see my kids… I need to see my kids without you photographing me… Y’all ain’t going to run up on me like that. If I say stop… stop with your camera.”
As the clip ends, the rapper can be seen asking a pap with a large camera to stop recording him. The latter can be seen stopping to record West and backing away.
TMZ reported that Kanye West was present in his vehicle along with Censori. However, she was not seen in the clip. The incident reportedly took place at a sports arena where North West was scheduled to play in a basketball game.
