2 Chainz Bodyguard Arrested For Punching Photographer

A member of rapper 2 Chainz entourage beat up a photographer who trying to take pictures of the star as he arrived at 30 Rock for an appearance on the “Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” police said Sunday.

The rapper, who has been rolling around in a pink wheelchair since breaking a leg this past summer, was outside the W. 50th St. entrance of NBC headquarters with his security team Friday when the 64-year-old shutterbug came up and started shooting.

That’s when bodyguard Rory Smith, 47, punched the freelance photographer in the face, knocking him to the ground, police said.

Smith, who lives in Georgia, took off after punching the man and was later arrested and charged with misdemeanor assault.

The scrap didn’t stop 2 Chainz’s appearance, which included him being interviewed by Fallon and performing a song from his new album.
