New day, new Kanye West controversy! The rap icon has once again found himself in legal trouble¡ªa new lawsuit has alleged that the Yeezy founder hired a private investigator to spy on his wife, Bianca Censori, and former in-laws, the Kardashians. The anonymous plaintiff, who identifies as "Director of Intelligence" for West, has come forward claiming the Vulture crooner paid him to tail his former wife, Kim Kardashian, and current wife, Biance Censori.
John Doe, a former employee of Yeezy, filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles on Monday, Oct. 7 against the rapper for emotional distress, retaliation, and labour code violations, seeking over seven figures in damages. The plaintiff alleged that West forced him to hire investigators to keep track of Bianca during her Australia visit to her family. He also claimed that he was instructed by West to investigate "the Kardashian family and supposed various criminal links. Ye believed they had with criminal enterprises, including alleged sex trafficking."
The complaint mentioned that on May 14, 2024, around the time he sacked most of Yeezy's senior employees, West decided to 'get titanium teeth [and] consume nitrous oxide,' which escalated his 'erratic' behaviour. West had tasked him with "fixing" his problems, including investigating "items that were stolen or lost, prompting further investigations." The former Yeezy staffer added that "it was common for Ye to lose expensive cars or fail to pay people for services rendered at Ye¡¯s direction."
Earlier this week, a TMZ report claimed that Kanye and Bianca's marriage had hit rock bottom, and the couple had already informed their close friends about their separation. However, the chaotic pair soon put all the rumours to rest with a PDA-filled outing in Japan. Now, a US Weekly report has claimed the couple is not divorcing 'yet'.
¡°They are working through it. Their relationship is definitely rocky,¡± the insider told the publication, before adding, ¡°Bianca knew what she was getting herself into when marrying Kanye, but, as months went on, the lifestyle took a toll on her.¡±
Kanye West and Bianca Censori married in an intimate ceremony in December 2022, a month after the rapper's divorce was finalised with former wife Kim Kardashian.
