According to new documents obtained by TMZ, Kanye West is facing a new lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges that the rapper and his former chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulossubjected ‘Yeezy’ employees to degrading, forced, cruel and inhuman labor.
The document specifies that employees were subjected to racist comments and were referred to as “new slaves”while they were developing a pornographic application and another streaming platform, YZYVSN, which aims to compete with Apple Music and Spotify.
In addition to this, the rapper’s wife, Bianca Censori, 29, was accused of sending pornography to the company’s staff, whose videos were available to minors, according to the text.
What else does the lawsuit against Kanye West express?
The new lawsuit faced by the singer, 47, and his former chief of staff, 39, states that the two hired a group of Afro-descendant workers, including minors, to help create applications.
Employees were mostly working remotely, so they used communication platforms like Slack and Zoom to stay in touch.
The document states that Yiannopoulos would pay them $120,000, with one condition: Work all the required hours without complaint.
TMZ explains that employees were forced to sign a confidentiality agreement or face layoffs without the right to pay. While underage workers signed agreements under the figure of “volunteers.”
The workers who are suing the ‘Heartless’ singer, in addition to demanding unpaid wages, are also demanding compensation for damages and emotional harm.
Another detail in the document is that the plaintiffs claim that the company’s leaders, mostly white people, used degrading nicknames or insults to people based on their sex, race, religion and sexual orientation.
After the lawsuit became public, Page Six attempted to reach out to West and Yiannopoulos’ teams but received no response.
