According to MailOnline, who obtained a copy of the discussion, Kanye told Ramos' lawyer Nate Goldberg: "My father was a paparazzo himself. My father was a medical illustrator, a Black Panther, a Christian marriage counsellor.

"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."

Kanye also revealed he had only just discovered his grandfather Portwood Williams Senior was dying when the incident occurred and while he praised the actions of some photographers, admitting they often help him out when he is trying to park his car, he had no kind words for Ramos.

He added: "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."

Kanye - who has 14-month-old daughter North West with wife Kim Kardashian West - was sentenced to two years probation, 250 hours community service and anger management sessions after allegedly attacking Ramos and damaging his camera outside LAX airport in Los Angeles in July 2013.

The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star, 33, still hasn't forgiven the 'XO' hitmaker, 32, who is married to Jay Z, for skipping her wedding to Kanye West in Florence, Italy in May, and didn't make any effort to speak to her at the ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday night.

A source told gossip website RadarOnline.com: "Kim blames Beyoncé for Jay Z skipping their wedding. Kanye considered Jay family, and the last minute decision for him to not come to their wedding was extremely selfish."

The insider added: "[Kim] thinks that that Beyoncé has always been very arrogant and aloof around her. Kim always made a real effort to get to know her and Jay, but she was always left with a very cold feeling. Beyoncé made Kim feel very insecure and that isn't something that she is used to."

A source previously said that Beyoncé and Jay Z decided to go to the Hamptons instead of attending the wedding, as they thought it wasn't classy enough for their brand.

The friend claimed: "They are guarding like hell their status. Beyonce wasn't going to allow a Kardashian to socially climb her. And Jay didn't want Kanye with Kim - he thinks it's bad for business. I think Jay lost a little respect for Kanye there."

The 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star are yet to comment on the backlash, but it is believed there may have been a delay in the footage being shown on television, which could mean they weren't using their phones at the time of the tribute.

The 33-year-old reality TV star, who embarked on a gruelling fitness regime to lose 55 pounds before marrying Kanye West in May and then relaxed her diet, says her body has completely changed shape since she got pregnant with their 13-month-old daughter, North, and she finds it "much harder to lose" weight.

Kourtney told the October issue of Natural Health magazine: "[My kids] love [North] so much. I'm so happy that Penelope gets to grow up with a cousin close to her age, too.

"Our kids are all lucky to have many different people around them to give them so much love."

Meanwhile, Kourtney - who is pregnant with her third child - insists she was forced to learn the importance of healthy eating when she first fell pregnant in 2009.

She explained: "I was not raised this way--people just weren't as aware of healthy eating as they are today. When I got home from school, my snack was a bag of chips or cookies, and as an adult, I didn't even know what organic meant--I'd just go to the market and buy the same things my mom bought. I didn't really have any thoughts about it before I had my kids.

"Starting off, I was big on breastfeeding; I nursed my first for 14 months and my second for 16. That was important to me. Then I began making their baby food myself, all of it organic. After that, I was super cautious about what to introduce into their diets."

$90,000 crash... Kylie to blame?

Kylie Jenner was allegedly to blame for crashing her car last week, despite claiming it was the other driver's fault.

The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star reportedly made an illegal U-turn and smashed her $90,000 black Range Rover into an oncoming vehicle whilst driving through Katsuya in Glendale last Thursday.

The other driver's lawyer Gary Daglian also claims the 17-year-old beauty was "aggressive" towards his client after the smash and even tried to persuade the alleged victim to not call the police in exchange for money.

Mr. Daglian told gossip website TMZ.com the accident was so bad that his client even ended up in hospital.

However, Kylie had reportedly told her parents, Bruce and Kris Jenner, immediately after the crash that a woman swerved into her lane and rear ended her.

The accident resulted in thousands of dollars in damage to the fashion designer's SUV, which was believed to have been an early birthday present last month from her mother and father.

Meanwhile, this isn't the first time Kylie has been involved in a car crash as she also smashed up her $125,000 Mercedes SUV, which she received for her 16th birthday last year, shortly after passing her driving test in August 2013.

She has also allegedly received multiple traffic tickets since getting her licence 12 months ago.

The 29-year-old rapper doesn't believe there are any hard feelings between him and his girlfriend Khloé Kardashian's ex-husband Lamar Odom, whom filed for divorce from in December following rumours he cheated on her and battled with cocaine addiction.

Speaking to New York Daily News' Confidenti@l page, he said: "I don't think it's a problem with me and him. She [Khloé] was in love and grew out of love, for whatever reasons. I never ask. I never try to know. I just worry about me and her."

Meanwhile, French - whose real name is Karim Kharbouch - has shot down rumours he's using Khloé, 30, and her family's reality TV show 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' to boost his level of fame.

Pic: Getty Images

He explained: "Honestly, we never even think about it. Obviously hers is a bigger fan base because they've been on [television] for about 10 years and this ['Keeping Up With the Kardashians'] is the biggest show ever. But I don't pay attention to that kind of stuff."

"He wants this church to include a chapel as a tribute to his mom, along with a stained glass window featuring him, Kim, and their daughter, North."

The source said: "He's already set aside $5 million to get the work started and plans on doing a series of shows to help fund the construction.
