A recently discovered deposition from a 2000 OfficeMax printer-stealing case surfaced online this week.

We got hold of Kanye’s deposition in a case filed by a photog who Kanye assaulted at LAX. In the depo, Kayne admits to being convicted of a felony … and then recalls the incident where he says, “I was racially profiled for having a white T-shirt and braids.” (TMZ)

The report also claims cops arrested him for allegedly stealing printers.

Kanye suggests cops even doctored the evidence to frame him, saying, “I was driving a white Ford Expedition. When I saw the police report, they crossed out where it said ‘Cream Ford Explorer.'” In the depo, filed in court by his lawyer Shawn Holley, Kanye says he believes he was convicted of a felony but says it was actually “a mistaken identity for stealing some printers from OfficeMax after I was a platinum producer.” (TMZ)

Aside from this, ski outing pics of Kanye and celebrity wife Kim Kardashian bubbled online this week.

  1. Soooo now 15 years later his police report just happens to show up? Now that we are in these crazy times where the police just don’t give a fuck ( not that they ever did) and Kanye’s one arrest just happens to pop up so he can show he’s what? just like us normal folks? He’s still black? He’s a rebel? Just why now is my question?
