Video: Kanye West tries to stop a paparazzi fight by giving one of them a hug

Kanye West has been getting a lot of grief lately for his controversial comments. But it was all about the love on Friday tried to break up a fight amongst a group of paparazzi by giving one of the snappers a big bear hug. We don't think he deserved it.

The superstar rapper couldn't stop smiling as he was greeted by dozens of fans waving Yeezy sneakers to be signed as he strolled out of Los Angeles airport.

Kanye, 38, was being quizzed by one photographer about begging Facebook Mark Zuckerberg for money on Twitter to help fund his genius ideas when all of a sudden a fight broke out.

Kim Kardashian's famous hubby rushed over and embraced one of the paparazzi as he tried to push him away from the scuffle.

Everyone cheered but even Kanye playing peace-keeper couldn't keep the two snappers from getting violent.

After the photographer released himself from the rapper's grip he started kicking out at the man and looked absolutely furious.

The other snapper stepped away and appeared to put his hands up as he tried to calm the situation down.

Yeezus was probably trying to stay out of it - people hate on him enough at the moment without a fight provoking them.
