Jay Kay: Assault on paparazzi 'no major thing'

British singer Jay Kay has dismissed his assault on a paparazzi photographer earlier this year as "no major thing".

The scuffle led to the Jamiroquai frontman being cautioned by police, but Kay has defended his behaviour, blaming photographers for causing the fight.

He says: "It's not something I'm proud of. I came out of the club and they were jibing and shouting abuse, as they do.

"I had every intention of just getting in the car, but with all the flashes going off, everyone crowding round and people holding you back, you do start to feel like the bull in the middle of the ring.

"And I'd had a few drinks. So when they all moved in, I took a swing at one of them. It's no major thing. It's not like it happens every time I go out. It's just every now and again you have enough of it."
