Kanye West allegedly turned a Yeezy staffer’s job into a living “nightmare” by subjecting the man to antisemitic tirades – often involving attacks on Kim Kardashian – and holding work meetings in hotel suites where West would engage in loud sexual encounters in adjoining rooms, a new lawsuit claims. Plaintiff Murphy Aficionado says the rapper, who legally changed his name to Ye, hired him as a project manager in October 2022 in what he initially considered a dream gig. In his lawsuit, Aficionado says he worked up to 70 hours a week and sometimes slept in the office to meet deadlines.
Instead of being paid his pledged rate of $125 per hour, Aficionado says he was deluged with “racist lectures,” angry outbursts and empty promises. “Ye’s antisemitic tirades and conspiracies were a daily occurrence. Often, these outbursts involved how Jews controlled the Kardashians.
Other times, Ye recounted how Jews were going after him and his money,” the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court states. “The Jews are out to get me. They froze my bank account.
The Jews got Kim [Kardashian] and my kids,” West purportedly told a confused Aficionado on one occasion, according to the lawsuit filed by lawyers Carney R. Shegerian and William Reed. When Aficionado asked West what he meant, the Yeezy boss allegedly responded, “The Jews convinced Kim [Kardashian].
She has Jewish masters.” Aficionado claims that in late November 2022, West summoned him to the Beverly.
