AceShowbiz - Kanye West is filing legal papers to get his paparazzi conviction erased from his record, TMZ reports. According to the site, the 38-year-old rapper is now eligible to have his misdemeanor convictions over a July 2013 altercation with paparazzo Daniel Ramos expunged.
Kanye copped a plea in 2014 for attacking Daniel at Los Angeles International Airport the year before. The "Gold Digger" rapper pled no contest to misdemeanor battery and was placed on 24-month probation. He was also ordered to perform 250 hours of community service.
Kanye has since put in way more than the required number of community service hours at L.A. Trade Tech's fashion school. He also kept his nose clean for the 24 months.
While the judge has yet to make decision on Kanye's filing, according to the site, it's almost guaranteed his criminal record will be erased.
Back in February, Kim Kardashian's husband broke up a fist between two paparazzi at LAX. At that time, he was seen hugging one of the paparazzi and said, "Come on, man. Come on." Just last week, the rapper got a ride from a paparazzo. "I don't need Uber anymore. I'll just have the paps take me where I want to go," he said.
