Kanye West’s ex-staffer has claimed he was openly antisemitic around his employees.
The rapper has been named in a new lawsuit alleging he was a “nightmare” to work for, with frequent antisemitic behaviour and sexual harassment.
The suit states that Kanye, 47, hired Murphy Aficionado to work as a project manager in October 2022. Murphy now alleges that one month after he commenced the role, Kanye made him uncomfortable by conducting a business meeting while shirtless and “out of breath” in his hotel suite, with his then-girlfriend, Bianca Censori, also topless in the room with them.
“Aficionado entered the lavish hotel room but was taken aback to realize Ye’s pants unbuttoned and find his then-girlfriend, Bianca Censori, standing topless – her hands barely covering her bare breasts,” the document stated.
After dispatching Bianca – whom Kanye later married and has since separated from – to the next room, Kanye then allegedly followed her and the pair began a tryst with the door open.
“Within seconds, Aficionado began hearing loud moaning and clapping, emanating from the room Ye and Censori were having sex in,” the statement claims.
Afterwards, the claimant said, Kanye returned to their meeting, “sporting a T-shirt with a swastika”.
Kanye allegedly often went on antisemitic rants to his staff and would insist his ex-wife Kim Kardashian was being “controlled” by Jews.
“Often, these outbursts involved how Jews controlled the Kardashians,” the lawsuit claimed. “Other times, Ye recounted how Jews were going after him and his money.”
