| Kanye West will cover next month's cover of Vibe Magazine. In the February issue, Kanye talks about his recent run-in's with the paparazzi and people suggesting he was violent saying “I  haven’t done anything violent. They make it seem like I actually went and hit the paparazzi. I haven’t. I was restrained. I’m good at restraining myself from committing violent acts. I know how to control my temper. That one paparazzo made it a bigger deal. I just put my hand up and he felt like he had more right to my personal space than I did. I put my hand up to stop him from shooting me.”
