( CNN ) Kanye West has settled a lawsuit with a paparazzi photographer he assaulted -- and the two have shaken on it . The photographer , Daniel Ramos , had filed the civil suit against West after the hip-hop star attacked him and tried to wrestle his camera from him in July 2013 at Los Angeles International Airport . West pleaded no contest last year to a misdemeanor count of battery over the scuffle . A judge sentenced him to two years ' probation , as well as anger management sessions and community service . Ramos and his lawyer , Gloria Allred , sought general and punitive damages in the civil suit , saying that West had interfered with the photographer 's rights to pursue a lawful occupation . The case had been set for trial next week , but Allred issued a statement Tuesday night saying Ramos ' side had filed a dismissal `` because the case was settled to the satisfaction of the parties . '' She did n't disclose the details of the settlement other than saying that `` one important aspect of it was an apology by Kanye West to our client , Daniel Ramos . '' Her statement included a picture of West and Ramos shaking hands , which she said happened after the apology . The original incident was caught on video , including the following exchange . `` Kanye ! Kanye ! Talk to me , Kanye ! '' Ramos shouts outside a terminal at the Los Angeles airport on the night of July 19 , 2013 . `` What 's ' going on ? Why ca n't we talk to you ? I mean , why ? '' he asks as West moves through a group of paparazzi . `` Now come on , Kanye , I do n't want to fight with you , '' he says as West advances toward him . `` I told you , do n't talk to me , right , '' West says . `` You 're trying to get me in trouble so I step off and have to pay you like $ 250,000 . '' West is then seen rushing the photographer and attempting to wrestle his camera from his hands . West retreats after about 15 seconds of scuffling with the photographer . `` We believe that this case sent an important message , '' Allred said . `` Celebrities are not above the law , and they have no right to physically attack someone simply because they were asked a question . '' Beverly Hills Police investigated an incident in January 2014 in which West was accused of assaulting a man at a Beverly Hills chiropractor 's office . West avoided criminal charges by reaching a civil settlement with the man . Kanye West apologizes to Beck , Bruno Mars . CNN 's Sonya Hamasaki contributed to this report .
