Kanye West is back in the legal spotlight — this time with a lawsuit as surprising as his fashion choices. In the latest chapter of “Kanye’s Kraziness,” a former employee is accusing him of not only holding onto a five-month paycheck like it’s a limited-edition Yeezy sneaker but also of letting some, let’s say, questionable comments fly about his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
Here’s the rundown: Kanye’s former project manager, Murphy Aficionado (yes, that’s a real name, and no, it’s not from a Wes Anderson film), filed the lawsuit after what sounds like a bizarre stint in Ye’s employ. Murphy says he was hired, given big promises, and then—plot twist—wasn’t paid for five whole months. You know, because when you work for Kanye, your bank account must also ride the roller coaster of unpaid artistry.
But that’s just the start. Murphy claims Kanye wasn’t shy about sharing his thoughts on various conspiracy theories, including ones involving “the Jews” being out to get him, freezing his bank account, and somehow snatching Kim and the kids right out from under him. Allegedly, Ye even took it a step further by saying Kim has, and I quote, “Jewish masters.” Whether these “masters” have anything to do with her skincare line or her Instagram algorithm remains unconfirmed.
And the plot thickens—Murphy also alleges that Kanye, who apparently likes to keep people waiting, didn’t let a little thing like a business meeting stop him from…well, loudly enjoying his personal life in the next room. Twice. Yes, twice, as if the first incident needed a sequel.
As for Kanye’s response? Radio silence. He’s probably too busy with his next artistic endeavor—or in a fight with his bank to let him access his account so he can maybe, just maybe, pay Murphy. This isn’t Kanye’s first run-in with former employees, either. Legal complaints seem to follow him like paparazzi, but hey, who’s counting?
Stay tuned, because in the ever-surprising reality show that is Kanye’s life, this season is far from over.
