Kanye West is being sued for engaging in ‘forced labour and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment’ after his employees were allegedly called ‘new slaves’.
Both Ye and his former chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, are named as defendants in the lawsuit, which was filed in a U.S. District Court and was viewed by TMZ.
The two are accused of forcing their workers, some of whom were juveniles, to work excessive hours while being made fun of with racist slurs and bogus promises.
Ye’s wife, Bianca Censori, also allegedly sent porn videos to staff that were accessible to minors.
The complainants were hired by Ye to work on his YZYVSN streaming service app, designed to rival Tidal, Spotify, and Apple Music, to promote his Vultures and Vultures 2 albums.
The complaints date back to this spring when Ye started working on YZYVSN.
A worldwide development group, many of whose members were minors, some as young as 14, and including numerous black individuals, was purportedly employed by him and Milo.
Subsequently, they reportedly promoted a discriminatory work climate and kept making exaggerated claims regarding salary and working hours.
The development group was allegedly promised $120,000 by Milo provided they finished the app, accepted the working conditions, and didn’t voice any complaints.
Ye, however, is said to have then demanded that every employee sign an NDA and threatened to terminate the children if they refused.
They also allegedly required minors to sign ‘volunteer’ agreements.
Ye’s white bosses are said to have started using racist and derogatory language after that to incite animosity among the staff.
According to reports, they harassed team members because of their country of origin, age, gender, race, and sexual orientation.
Some of them were called ‘slaves’ while others were referred to as ‘new slaves’.
They were also reportedly forced to work through the night without pay or sleep.
When Ye announced he was launching an adult film business his wife Bianca then allegedly sent a worker a link with hardcore pornography in it which was accessible to the minors working on the project.
In the lawsuit, Bianca is not listed as a defendant.
According to reports, the team completed one of the applications and delivered it to Ye on May 1.
However, they claim that he failed to pay them, which prompted them to sue, seeking damages for emotional anguish, unpaid overtime, and unpaid salaries.
I don’t know how Kayne West has continued to get away with what he’s done for so long.
He seems to be a merciless sick guy, and his wife is another sick person who he parades about as if there are no repercussions. It doesn’t matter that he is being sued because he wants attention and power.
Another day, another lawsuit for Kanye, and his wife looks empty, vacant and soulless they both do!
You would think that he and his wife would know that racist or inappropriate sexual conduct is way too taboo in this day and age, but I don’t think that either one of them cares, they’re not exactly known as sane people.
This man parades himself around, parading himself like he’s some demi god, but he seems to think that he’s a legend in his mind. He is a complete narcissist, but if you dig deeper than that it’s much worse, and he believes that he’s above the law, yet no one stops him with his perverse actions that are acted out in public.
This is not surprising for a man like this. Everything about this man and his wife is disgusting. What a way to treat people, and why would anyone go near him? He’s just revolting and has no respect for anyone.
