So, Kanye West walks into a bar... literally. KimYe was out strolling Beverly Hills on Friday when West tried to duck and avoid gathered photogs. In the process, he smashed his head on a medal post, and it sounded like it really hurt. Instead of freaking out, Kardashian grabs her man and pulls him aside to help calm him down... watch that TMZ video here.

Although he blames the nasty head-bang on the camera guys, West appears cool and collected... but just a few moments later, he totally freaks out. KimYe emerged from a restaurant moments afterwards, and the "Heartless" rapper is ANGRY. Warning - Kanye drops the f-bomb a lot here:

Overall message from West to the photogs... STOP TAKING F#CKING PICTURES.The paparazzo "attacked" tells West he just arrived on the scene and meant no harm. Although a heated interaction, West doesn't appear to get physical, and shortly after he stomps back into the restaurant.

Wonder if Kim K's proud of her protective man.
