‘My father was a paparazzo, didn't raise me to be out wrestling with paparazzi’ – Kanye

During his disposition at a civil lawsuit filed against him for assaulting a paparazzo by name Daniel Ramos, Kanye West revealed his dad was a papparazzi. He told the lawyer during interrogation

'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 '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 assholes like the guy you're representing'' And this guy is asking me about dumb shit. So, you know, I'm sorry that I tried to grab his camera. But I obviously didn't try to hurt him. I'm not here to hurt people 'I tried to stop his camera and stuff, he fell down, faked it and everyone was saying “Why did you hit this guy?” I didn't hit him.
