Kanye West Says He Feared For His Safety During LAX Attack

Kanye’s LAX attack may cause him to give up some of that Kardashian money.

According to TMZ

Kanye West says he went after that photog at LAX because he feared for his safety … and that’s why he pulled out a can of whoop azz and used it.

Kanye is responding to the civil suit filed by the paparazzo who claims Kanye assaulted him on July 19th at LAX and caused him serious injury. According to Kanye’s answer to the lawsuit, filed by Shawn Holley and obtained by TMZ … he believed “his safety was in immediate danger.” And then there’s this: “[Kanye] responded to this assault by doing only those acts that were reasonably necessary for his self-defense …”

In addition to the civil lawsuit, Kanye faces criminal charges that could land him in jail for a maximum of 1 year if convicted.

This “fearing for my safety” defense won’t fly in court…the dude said two words to him.

Kanye needs to take some of the money put aside for lawyer’s fees and seek anger management classes. Until then, the paparazzi will always see him as a come up.
