Kanye West Sues Former Employees, They Say They Called Them 'New Slaves'

Another day, another case for Kanye West as the 'MAGA' rapper has just been slapped with a brand new lawsuit accusing him and his former chief of staff Milo Yiannopoulos of some pretty wild things.

According TMZformer employees of Kanye West have filed a lawsuit against him Doda rapper and Milo Yiannopoulos, alleging that they suffered an appalling working environment, which “results in forced labor and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment.” The lawsuit alleges that not only were they referred to as “young slaves,” but Yeezy's wife, Bianca Censori, also sent porn to staff members that was accessible to minors.

Sounds like the kind of place die-hard MAGA fans would really like to work.

It all started in the spring of 2024 when Ye decided to launch the streaming service app YZYVSN to compete with Tidal, Spotify and Apple Music. The lawsuit says Ye wanted to avoid paying those companies to promote his new albums, “Vultures” and “Vultures 2.”

So he and Milo reportedly hired an international, mostly Black team of programmers, which also included underage teenagers as young as 14.

The documents say the employees mostly worked remotely, staying in constant communication with Ye, Milo and their team using digital and online communication apps like Discord, Zoom and Slack.

In April 2024, the documents say, Milo promised to pay the developer team $120,000 after they completed the implementation if they agreed to working conditions and did not protest.

While that sounds good and all, things apparently went left after everyone was forced to sign non-disclosure agreements under threat of termination if they didn't. Younger workers had to register as “volunteers” if they wanted to keep their jobs. Once they complied, the ugliness came out of Yeezy's white management team.
