Don't mention Reggie Bush's name around Kanye West or he might just snap on you like he did to a photographer Sunday night.

Kanye and Kim were leaving the Prime 112 restaurant in South Beach, Miami when a female photographer asked Kim about the Miami Dolphins running back who was dining at nearby Prime Italian restaurant with his pregnant girlfriend, Lilit Avagyan.

Reggie Bush and Lilit Avagyan.

"Kim did you know Reggie is here [in Miami] having dinner?" the photographer asked. "Did you wanna go congratulate him on his pregnancy?"

According to TMZ, that's when Yeezy snapped and tried to take the camerawoman's camera away. He didn't actually touch her during the confrontation, but after Kanye and Kim pulled off in a Rolls Royce the photographer told others, "Kanye West just tried to beat me up."

Kim and Reggie dated on and off from 2007 to 2010 and came close to getting married before splitting up.

Last week Bush confirmed he and Avagyan were expecting their first child together.

"I have a little one on the way…We're pretty excited. We haven't found out if it's a boy or a girl yet," Bush told Florida's Paul and Young Ron Morning Show "We can't wait, It's the opportunity to bring in a new life and raise a child. I think that's the most special gift to a man and to a woman. So, I look forward to it and to building a family. I'm hoping for a boy, because if it's a girl, I'm going straight to the gun shop to buy some guns."

Kim's in town filming scenes for her hit E! spin-off Kourtney & Kim Take Miami.

Video footage of Kanye acting up has emerged. Check that out below.

Kanye West met up with the same female photographer he went ham on a couple of weeks back while he was leaving an airport. Yeezy pointed at the photographer and wanted her to let people know that he didn't try to hit her.

"You got me in trouble," Kanye told her. " You tried to made it seem like I... I did not try to hit you. Tell people I did not try to hit you."

"I know, me and you are tight," she replied. "Let's make up."

The two of them hugged after that then Ye got into a waiting car and left.

Jay-Z is a big supporter of President Obama. Today he's featured the President's "The Power of Our Voice" viral video series.

Hov explains why it's important to exercise your right to vote and how "President Obama represents the power of our voice."

"For so long, there was this voice that was silenced out there as far as exercising your right to vote. I think it was a voice that was silent because people had lost hope. They didn't believe that their voice mattered or counted."

"Now people are exercising their right, and you are starting to see the power of our vote. He made it mean something for the first time for a lot of people. "

Jay-Z has taken on the role of Rihanna's mentor/big brother so understandably he's concerned that she has chosen to get close to Chris Brown again.

After Chris assaulted Rihanna in 2009 there were rumors that Hov flexed his industry muscles to have the "Deuces" singer banned from performing a Michael Jackson tribute at the BET Awards that same year. Jigga later denied the rumors.

“That’s the silliest rumor I’ve ever heard,” he told BBC Radio 1′s Tim Westwood during a July 2009 interview. “That’s not even my style. If I got a problem with Chris Brown, I got a problem with Chris Brown.”

Yesterday The Sun reported that the Roc Nation head honcho has issued a warning to Brown that he will end his career if he hurts Rihanna again.

“Jay-Z told Rihanna that if Chris is truly making her happy then to go for it," a source told the publication. “He invited them as a couple to his concert in New York and backstage he called Chris to one side and told him if he hurts Rihanna, whether emotionally or physically, it’s over for him. He’ll ensure it will result in the end of his career."

Jay-Z has a lot of industry pull, but Chris is wildly popular. Whether Jay could actually damage Chris' career is unclear. Hopefully it won't ever come to that.
