#KanyeWest Reveals His Father Was A Paparazzo

Kanye West hates the paparazzi and being photographed so imagine how shocked we were to find out that his father was actually a paparazzo!

Kanye revealed the information during his deposition in a civil lawsuit by photographer Daniel Ramos, after an altercation at Los Angeles International Airport in July last year.

MailOnline obtained a copy of the deposition statement in which Kanye told the pap’s lawyer, Nate Goldberg:

“My father was a paparazzo himself. My father was a medical illustrator, a Black Panther, a Christian marriage counselor. My mother was the first black chair of the English department in Chicago State. They didn't raise me to be out here wrestling with random paparazzi in front of LAX. Sometimes I get in the car with the paparazzi. Paparazzi help me to park,” he said.

“The paparazzi watch my car and makes sure that cops don't give me tickets. There are some nice guys out here trying to just feed their family. And then there's a******* like the guy you're representing.''

Kanye pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor battery charge and was sentenced to two years probation, 24 anger management therapy sessions and 250 hours of community service.

This was not Kanye’s first altercation with the paparazzi. Back in 2008, he smashed up a pap’s camera outside LAX. He was charged with battery and grand theft. Although the charges were later thrown out, he was left with 50 hours of community service.
