Kanye West settled the civil suit filed by the paparazzo he allegedly attacked at Lax in 2013, according to People. Daniel Ramos and West were photographed shaking hands (and maybe hate-smiling at each other) Tuesday, after the rapper reportedly apologized in person for his actions. The details of the settlement won't be released, so it's unclear if West shelled out any money. Ramos's lawyer, Gloria Allred, told People that she's proud of her client because the case was important for him and other celeb photographers. "We believe that this case sent an important message," she said. "Celebrities are not above the law, and they have no right to physically attack someone simply because they were asked a question." The AP notes that Yeezy is still on probation.

Los Angeles — A photographer who claims he was attacked by Kanye West at Los Angeles International Airport sued the rapper Wednesday, claiming assault, battery, negligence and violation of his civil rights.
Daniel Ramos claimed his right hip was injured when the rapper punched him in an unprovoked attack and wrestled his camera to the ground. Ramos was a member of the paparazzi who staked out at the airport July 19 to snap celebrity photos.
"I told him twice, `I don't want to fight you,'" Ramos said. "However, he attacked me anyway."
An attorney for West couldn't immediately be located.
Last week, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office declined to file felony assault and attempted robbery charges against West, saying Ramos didn't have a significant injury.
The city attorney's office was considering whether to file misdemeanor charges.
