The 37-year-old singer was sued by photographer Daniel Ramos after an altercation last year at Los Angeles International Airport.
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,' 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.
He Continued:
'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.'
He also called some of Goldberg's questions 'asinine' and explained that he had just learned his grandfather Portwood Williams Senior was about to die when the incident occurred.
'And this guy is asking me about dumb s***… 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,' West said.
West previously has said that he didn't hurt Ramos who claimed he suffered physically and emotionally from the attack.
'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,' West said.
The singer pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor battery charge related to the incident and was sentenced to two years of probation, 24 anger management therapy sessions and 250 hours of community service.
The no contest plea cannot be used against him in the civil lawsuit.
