adminKanye West claimed he is ‘‘the smartest celebrity’’ during his deposition following his alleged attack on a paparazzo last year. The 37-year-old rapper, who was charged with criminal battery and attempted grand theft after he lashed out at a photographer in 2013, snapped at the paparazzo’s lawyer Nate Goldberg during the lawsuit while making a dig at Britney Spears’ low level of intelligence.
In the transcript, obtained by TMZ.com, Kanye said: ‘‘I’m the smartest celebrity you’ve ever dealt with. I’m not Britney Spears. I’m in the business of trying to make dope for the world. You’re in the business of representing scums and trying to make as much money as long as there’s this lapse in the law.’’
Kanye was sentenced to two years probation, 250 hours community service and anger management sessions after allegedly attacking Daniel Ramos and damaging his camera outside LAX airport in Los Angeles in July 2013. – Bangshowbiz.
