Rapper and producer Kanye West is embroiled in a legal dispute, accused of fostering a hostile work environment, not paying employees, and sending employees sexually explicit content. The lawsuit, which also names Milo Yiannopoulos as a defendant, alleges abuse and nonpayment at West’s businesses, including YZY P@rn and YZYVSN.
The allegations stem from West and Yiannopoulos appointing white supervisors over a predominantly Black staff, and reports of derogatory comments and unequal treatment from those employees. Despite completing projects for YZYVSN, the employees claim they were never paid.
The lawsuit paints a disturbing picture of workplace conditions, highlighting allegations of forced labor and harassment. As the legal proceedings unfold, there has been increased scrutiny of West’s business practices and treatment of his employees.
