Kanye West is being sued for $150 million by a former Yeezy employee who claims he subjected her to religious discrimination, sexual harassment, and retaliation

Kanye West is facing a $150 million lawsuit from a former employee in his Yeezy company, who alleges that the rapper subjected her to religious discrimination, sexual harassment, and retaliation, The Mirror U.S. reported. The suit, which is anticipated to be filed shortly, states that the anonymous complainant, known only as Jane Doe, received “graphic and grotesque” text messages from West, which purportedly included profanity, sexually explicit, and antisemitic comments.

According to the lawsuit, after disclosing these text messages to her superiors, the plaintiff was fired by Yeezy. As stated by her attorney, “It is time that Mr. West is held accountable for his actions toward his female employees in front of a jury.” The former employee said she endured grave implications as a result of being harassed and thus was prescribed an anxiety medication. It was reported that the hip-hop superstar simply ignored all pleas for a private resolution.

Text messages as evidence are expected to make this case a highly publicized legal war.

Kanye West’s Vultures album series faces backlash for unpaid producers, and Ty Dolla $ign’s albums may have similar issues with featured artists

Kanye West’s Vultures album series has attracted controversy for not paying about 10 producers, who claim that they worked but have not been compensated for over 10 works. Ty Dolla $ign’s albums will fight contention with numerous producers since they also feature some of the artists.

A report recently by Billboard revealed that many of those producers didn’t formally make any agreements, leaving them unutilized for their contribution.

Despite the release of the two albums, lawyers pursuing payment for their client, who has played a huge role in making this happen, have nothing to show, as one would say: “We have no idea when payment will be made.”

The thing is now quite complicated as his legal and distribution teams have entirely changed, which also complicates even more the attempts to sort it out.

Some have been offered lump sums for their work without them being able to collect any royalties, which several attorneys have dismissed as an option. They could always go to court, but history suggests there will not be enough resolution of such matters since previous claims against West are said to have resulted in

Kanye West Uses AI for Music Video with Virtual Daughters in ‘Bomb’

While Kanye West has been employing artificial intelligence in many of his Vultures videos, his latest offering for “Bomb” takes it several notches upward, as it digitally recreates the daughters.

Launched Wednesday (November 27), the AI video sees virtual versions of North West and her younger sister Chicago racing monsters and anthropomorphic creatures in a desert terrain.

Neither Kanye nor his Vultures collaborator Ty Dolla $ign appears in the Mad Max-meets-Star Wars visual; nor has the video’s creator or the AI platform used been disclosed.

The song, included in Ye and Ty’s new album Vultures 2, features some vocals from the West siblings; 11-year-old North even added some Japanese lyrics.

Ballesteros suggested that the film will arrive in 2025.
