Kanye West Breaks Up Paparazzi Fight With A Hug

Maybe he should call himself “Squeezus.”

Kanye West, who was charged with attacking a persistent paparazzo in 2013, was all smiles as he fielded questions at LAX Friday — and even broke up a shutterbug brawl with a hug.

After a fracas erupted between two hotheaded photographers vying for a shot of the rap mogul, Yeezus brokered peace by tenderly embracing one of the men, who accepted the gesture in stunned silence.

The once short-fused rapper further cemented his softie image when a cameraperson asked the father of two whether baby no. 3 was a possibility.

“Perhaps,” he replied, grinning ear to ear.

This mellow new West is a sharp turn from his days of calling celebrity photographers “blood-sucking mosquitoes.”

Just last April, the rapper reached a private settlement with photographer Daniel Ramos after being charged with misdemeanor battery and attempted grand theft during a July 2013 scuffle at LAX.

Two months after that incident, he lost his cool with more paparazzi outside his former bachelor pad.

“Good morning, Kanye,” one photographer greeted him.

“Shut the f--k up,” he replied.

But ‘Ye has radiated warmth over the last few days, particularly on his ever-active Twitter account — gushing about “positive energy” and a rap “brotherhood,” and even admitting his ego is his “number one enemy.”

He has also, however, insisted Taylor Swift gave him license to call her a “b---h” on his new song, slammed a website for panning his fashion show, proclaimed Bill Cosby's innocence and kvetched about his alleged $53 million “personal debt.”
