Kanye West’s run-ins with the paparazzi are well known but could it all stem from a unsuspecting reason? According to Daily Mail Kanye revealed that his father Ray West was a member. Ye’s dad was a paparazzi? Who saw that coming?
The Daily Mail reports:
The 37-year-old singer was sued by photographer Daniel Ramos after an altercation last year at Los Angeles International Airport.
‘My father was a paparazzo himself. My father was a medical illustrator, a Black Panther, a Christian marriage counselor,’ West told Ramos’ lawyer during his deposition.
‘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,’ he added.
In the past the Grammy-winning artist said he has respect for some of the paparazzi.
‘Sometimes I get in the car with the paparazzi. Paparazzi help me to park,’ West told Ramos’ lawyer Nate Goldberg.
‘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.’
West previously has said that he didn’t hurt Ramos who claimed he suffered physically and emotionally from the attack.
