but why shouldn’t he?
The hip-hop star, who faces a two-year prison sentence, was absent from the courtroom on Friday
Kanye is starting to become a real media whore! LOL!
KANYE WEST has pleaded not guilty to three criminal charges in connection with his alleged attack on a paparazzo in Los Angeles last year in 2008.
The rapper was charged with vandalism, battery and grand theft in March 2009 after he and his manager were arrested at LAX Airport in September of last year for allegedly lashing out at a photographer, smashing his camera and hurling abuse at him.
West’s associate, Don Crawley, was charged with two counts of vandalism, two counts of battery and two counts of grand theft.
The hip-hop star, who faces a two-year prison sentence, was absent from the courtroom on Friday sending his lawyer Blair Berk to enter his plea on his behalf.
Crawley, who could receive a five-year jail term, also pleaded not guilty at the arraignment through his attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley.
Another hearing is scheduled on July 15, 2009 for West and Crawley.
