Kanye West in legal trouble over alleged discrimination, harassment amid Bianca Censori divorce drama

Kanye West’s former employees struggle to pursue legal action against the rapper, as his persistent absence despite rulings hinders probes

Kanye West may be in the clear for his 15-second Super Bowl ad promoting his website, which at one point reduced its sales catalogue to a single item: a white T-shirt with a black swastika. However, his legal tussle with his former employees knows no end.

As the troubled rapper battles divorce rumours and claims of his marriage to Bianca Censori spiralling out of control, a judge has hit him with sanctions in connection with a probe over alleged discrimination against and harassment of a former Black employee.

Ruling against Kanye West over alleged discrimination, wrongful termination
Earlier this week, a Los Angeles judge ruled that Kanye – who now goes by Ye – be there in person for a deposition. The development is tied to a lawsuit brought forward by Benjamin Deshon Provo. At a recent hearing, the judge ordered Kanye’s in-person deposition to take place on or before April 29. Benjamin has also been awarded a $500 sanction, which his former employer has 30 days to pay.
