Kanye West is here to do many things the world over, that don’t just involve music. Yeezy’s deposition gave us a look into his career goals, overall genius, and struggles with being a celebrity.
West is being deposed for that paparazzi fight at LAX last July, He wrestled a photog’s camera out of his hands, in one of the most passive aggressive celebrity/pap duel on record. The Pap sued ‘Ye, and this week the Windy City MC sat down with lawyer Nate Goldberg to answer questions about his overall disdain for the paparazzi.
His hatred is warranted (they’re always on him), and pre-dates West’s marriage to Kim Kardashian. Since Kardashian, things have gotten much worse, which brings up back to the deposition. It’s pretty great.
Like Lil Wayne, and Justin Bieber before him, Yeezus gave no f*cks about answering a round of random questions.
Check out what we learned from his epically sarcastic (and partially true) deposition quotes in the gallery.

He’s “The Smartest Celebrity You Ever Dealt With”
There’s no debate here people.
He’s NOT Britney Spears
Again, because he’s smart. Shade.
He’s In The Business Of “Trying To Make Dope Shit For The World”
We like that he said “trying.” Yeesuz is alway about improvement.
He’s A Minority
Not because he’s Black, because he’s a celebrity.
He Hates To Hear The N-Word…From A White Person
Watch you’re mouth around Yeezy. The lawyer used the n-word (while reciting one of West;s lyrics) and was told that he needed a “hall pass” for stuff like that.
Celebrities’ Struggles Are Just Like The Civil Rights Movement
Yup. Ye says the discrimination and lack of equality, is no different than segregation in the ’60s.
He Doesn’t Hate The Paparazzi More Than The Nazis
The lawyer was really reaching with this one. He asked why ‘Ye said, “I hate these n*ggas more than a Nazi,” in “Flashing Lights.” His response? “Cause that’s what I wanted to say in that song.”
He’s An Earthling
When asked where he lives, Ye answered, “Earth.” Thanks for clearing that up.
