Kanye West Launches $8M Lawsuit VS Ex-Employee Over Leaked Texts: Report

Kanye West launched an $8 million lawsuit after his now-ex-employee leaked texts with him and revealed details of his Vultures album.

The "Jesus Is King" rapper named media personality and his ex-employee YesJulz, born Julianne Goddard, after allegedly violating a non-disclosure agreement by exposing personal information.

On his Instagram Stories, West uploaded a copy of his lawsuit against the talent manager who reportedly "repeatedly, intentionally and grossly violated the terms of her Non-Disclosure Agreement."

The post claimed Goddard "publicly disclosed corporate sales figures, social media strategies, text messages with Ye and management, released plans for Vultures album and product designs before release."

The post came after West disclosed he cut ties with the marketer after working with her on the rollout of his Vultures 1 album.

"We have decided to no longer have YesJulz involved in the roll out of Vultures. All the activity on her page and with our fans in the past few days has been unauthorized," he wrote in a separate Instagram Stories post.

Allegations emerged claiming she reached out to West fan accounts and recruited them to work on a free app without the hip-hop star's consent. However, Goddard maintained her innocence and said she never wanted work done for free.

"I wanted to help the fans present their work to Ye. So that he could hire them," she went on. "Anyone who has ever been in contact with me for as little as 5 minutes knows the last thing I'd ever need to steal, Is an idea."

As for the allegations that she broke the NDA, she challenged West and told him to sue her.

West is now seeking $8 million from the talent manager.

The "Carnival" hitmaker expressed his gratitude to the artists who helped him create the single from his Vultures 1 album, and the group included Playboi Carti, Ty Dolla $ign and Rich the Kid.

In the same since-deleted Instagram post, he slammed Adidas, Christians, Drake, Hailey Bieber and more, who reportedly affected his life and career.

"I'll come back to yall if I think of more f--- you's," he went on.

West released his album on February 10, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of his debut album, The College Dropout.
