AceShowbiz - A new lawsuit against Kanye West reveals bombshell allegations. In a newly filed complaint, the "Vultures" rapper is accused by a former employee of hiring a fixer to investigate the Kardashians for "sex trafficking."
The new lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles on Monday, October 7, also mentions the hip-hop star's wife Bianca Censori. Ye's former worker, identified only as John Doe, claims that the Yeezy founder tasked him to hire private investigators to tail Bianca while she was visiting her family in Australia.
He additionally alleges that he was asked to fix Ye's problems, including investigating "items that were stolen or lost, prompting further investigations." The former staffer says, "it was common for Ye to lose expensive cars or fail to pay people for services rendered at Ye's direction."
The employee adds that the "Gold Digger" spitter yelled, cursed and threatened him after he informed a report of child abuse at the rapper's school, Donda Academy, to leaders at the company in May. "You're f**king dead to me!" Ye allegedly told John Doe before playing "recording of scary voices" that threatened harm to the plaintiff.
John Doe also mentions Ye's "erratic behavior" after he decided to "get titanium teeth [and] consume nitrous oxide." The musician allegedly laid off much of Yeezy's leadership around May 2024.
In the lawsuit, the former employee alleges retaliation and infliction of emotional distress. He says that it's affecting his mental health, triggering his PTSD from his military service and causing panic attacks and anxiety. Not stopping there, Doe accuses Ye of having yet to pay him for several pay periods of his employment.
"Ye has only himself to blame for his mounting legal woes," claimed the plaintiff's attorney Ron Zambrano, a partner and employment litigation chair at West Coast Employment Lawyers in a statement regarding the lawsuit. "He just can't continue hiring employees, treating them terribly, then refusing to pay them in violation of numerous employment laws, let alone threaten to kill them as he did in this case."
The attorney added that his "client is so fearful of Ye and his erratic, disturbing and unpredictable behavior that he wishes to remain anonymous for his own safety." He concluded, "It's not only illegal but unconscionable that an employer would threaten any employee with bodily harm or death."
