As of this writing, Kanye West has yet to confirm whether he's retiring from the music industry.
Over the past few years, the rapper has been embroiled in several scandals and legal battles, including a recent lawsuit filed against him and his former chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulus, by their former employees from his line of businesses, YZY Porn and YZYVSN.
According to legal documents obtained by the Mirror, the rapper planned to launch his porn business earlier this year, and his wife, Bianca Censori, reportedly sent a link that was allegedly accessible to minors to one of their employees.
"Upon information and belief, on or around April 27, 2024, Defendant Ye's wife Bianca Censori sent a YZYVSN worker a file sharing link of hardcore pornography for the Yeezy Porn App," the filing reads.
Despite being named in the lawsuit, Censori was not named as a defendant.
The former employees, which are composed of young adults and minors aged 14 to 17 from different countries, also alleged a hostile work environment after they allegedly suffered from "forced labor and cruel inhuman, or degrading treatment" by both West and Yiannopoulus who they claimed called them "new slaves."
"Black and African employees were segregated and given less favorable work assignments, and separate 'whites only' working groups were formed," the law firm representing the plaintiffs said in a statement.
