He went on to tell the paparazzi that “we are in this together.”

“I know you guys are going to photographer me. It makes a cool photo, I know I have a cool-a** car and sh*t. I have a dope-a** outfit on, it’s all good. We are in this together,” he said. “You guys help me influence. You help with the family, you help Kim’s power and everything. So I am not trying to be at you guys in any negative way, I don’t want you guys to be negative to me and I would prefer that we just have a decent relationship.”
