After jetting in from Oregon on Tuesday morning, Kanye West was back at Los Angeles International Airport a few hours later to catch a plane to Europe, and he got pretty testy when asked about his copyright infringement lawsuit.

When our X17 videographer initially approached West and grilled him about allegedly stealing music from a NYC street peddler, the rapper quietly said, "Leave me alone, please," but when asked again about the claims, Yeezy got a little fired up and said, "Leave me alone man, You got kids, you got family? You want people harassing your kids like this?"

Wait, what do kids have to do with this?! Or is this just Kanye's subtle way of admitting that he's a big baby? Our videographer said, "No but you're a big star," to which Kanye retorted, "Oh, yeah so that means I can be harassed right?" No Yeezy, we just want to know your side of the story, especially since this case is all over the news today!

A SoHo man named Joel Mac claims Jay Z, Kanye West and Frank Ocean stole "Made In America" from him, and he even alleges that one of Jay and Yeezy's producers, Mike Dean, bought his album outside the Mercer Hotel in New York, where the group had been recording Watch The Throne.

Mac originally filed his suit in the state of New York, but he has now taken his case to federal court. Mac wants a portion of the profits from the super-successful EP, which was released in 2011. In case you haven't already, take a listen to Jay, Kanye and Frank's track and compare it to Mac's tune and let us know what you think!
