Rapper Mos Def Wanted For Theft

According to published reports, Police in Las Vegas have issued a warrant for the arrest of actor and rapper Mos Def over an alleged scuffle with a photographer in August.

Police are looking to charge the 35-year-old rapper (born Dante Terrell Smith) with felony robbery and misdemeanor malicious destruction of property. The alleged incident took place at the Men’s Apparel and Garment Industry Convention.

60-year-old photographer Volker Corell alleges that Mos Def ripped a camera from around his neck. Corell also claimed he was cut on his left hand and that two security guards at the event retrieved his camera from Mos.
