Kanye West has settled the paparazzi assault case outside of the courtroom.

You may remember a time when Kanye West was incredibly bothered by paparazzi, this era of Ye came to a peak when the rapper grabbed a photographer outside of LAX in July 2013 (the severity of the act very much embellished by the cameraman). The rapper was able to get out of a misdemeanor battery charge by pleading no contest, but the photog hasn't given up trying to make a buck off Kanye since.

Ye has now settled the case outside of court, and while the terms were not made public (some money could have been exchanged), we do know that part of the agreement was for Yeezus to apologize, which he did with a handshake today.

You can check out a photo of a smiling (or possibly teeth-gritting) Kanye and the paparazzo in the gallery above.
