Kanye West recently took the time out to calmly explain his thoughts to paparazzi outside of a gas station. On Friday, Kanye was coming out of a gas station when he was bombarded by at least five to six photographers who began breaking his “don’t talk to me” rule by throwing questions at him. Instead of yelling he calmly stopped to chat with them while explaining that the day he allegedly attacked a photographer at LAX, he had just found out his grandfather was dying:
“It’s not about being a superstar, it’s about being a human being. One of these guys was saying some bulls–t earlier about, ‘You’re supposed to respect doctors.’ You gotta respect human beings. It’s all-good. My family is growing up. If you had a daughter and you guys were saying crazy s–t to me all the time, right. You say it to my family; you ask about this, I couldn’t imagine my daughter being four years old and you guys screaming at them. I think somebody screamed at Tom Cruise’s daughter. I mean, the guy set me up at the airport the other day, laughing and s–t. What I didn’t get to say on Jimmy Kimmel was that’s the day I found out my grandfather was not going to make it. He passed two weeks later. But when I’m coming out of the airport and it’s Kanye, whatever, f–k with him, we’re gonna antagonize him. I try and stop his camera and stuff. He fell down, faked it and people talking about, ‘Oh yo, why’d you hit that guy?’ I obviously didn’t hit the guy, but I’m going through s–t. I’m trying to have a business call. I know you guys are going to photograph me. I know it makes a cool photo. I got a cool a– car and s–t. I got a dope a– outfit on. It’s all good and s–t.”
