JamiroCry? Jay Kay arrested in London
- Artists:
- Jamiroquai »
Jamiroquai's Jay Kay was arrested this morning, according to band fan site The Funkin' Site.
The singer, pictured, allegedly attacked a photographer outside the Kabaret nightclub in central London. He was seen slapping a snapper in the face after verbally attacking the assembled paparazzi.
He was handcuffed by police after security at the club failed to move him along and taken to Saville Row station for questioning. One photographer at the scene, Rowan Lawrence, said:
"There was no provocation for his actions and the guy had done nothing when Jay hit him around the face."
It's thought that Jay Kay, who has something of a history of run-ins with photographers, was drunk at the time of his arrest.

You'd think they'd learn...
In fairness
I'd get annoyed at paparazzi too. It'd be annoying to have people taking pictures of you when your just trying to get on with life.
Did anyone see
that footage of Jay Kunt getting headbutted by a photographer?
Laugh? I nearly shat myself.
.
hmmm. But they are will to caught them when they've got an album to sell.
I agree it'd be annoying, but that really comes with the fame. As well as a fleet of cars and several houses.

willing
surely
it should be "jamiroCRIME" ?
Did anybody watch...
a programme not so long ago about these paparazzi type people?
They really are the scum of the earth!! Ah well fair play to Jay Kay for giving it a go.
Totally
They're complete pondlife. I cant stand the james-iroquai or his music, but given the chance I'd try and do the same thing as well.

Fair play to Jay Kay
The paparazzi are scum and need to be taken down a peg or two. Next time don't slap him, give him a full knuckle sandwich.
please
of course the paparazzi are scum but really you only get this kind of shit if you ask for it, if you play into the whole celebrity heat magazine type bullshit. do you think alex kapranos gets constantly harassed by paparazzi? the outkast guys? beck? wayne coyne? alex turner? jamiroquai's current success is nowhere near proportional to the amount of paparazzi attention jay kay gets. i mean did anyone in the whole world give even the slightest hint of a shit about their last album? he gets hounded simply because they know he's an obnoxious, ostentatious, egotistical, publicity-hungry, easily-wound-up, controversy-friendly CUNT
^^^^^^
this.

I heard this morning that he punched the camera folks because he thought they were after him.
They were after Lindsey Lohan who was due to turn up to the same club.
Jay Kay = pwned.
