Kanye West is in hot water again—and this time, it’s not for another bizarre fashion choice or headline-grabbing rant. A former employee, Murphy Aficionado, has filed a bombshell lawsuit accusing Ye of fostering a toxic, hostile work environment packed with antisemitic rhetoric and bizarre behavior.
Aficionado, who worked as a project manager for nine months starting in October 2022, alleges that Ye’s “antisemitic tirades and conspiracies” were practically daily occurrences. According to the suit, Kanye often ranted about Jewish people controlling his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and his finances, yelling at staff while “preaching” this hateful dogma.
But wait—there’s more. The lawsuit claims that Kanye once rocked a swastika T-shirt during a meeting. And the kicker? This happened after he allegedly paused the meeting for some “loud” personal time with his wife, Bianca Censori. When Kanye asked Aficionado’s opinion on the shirt, the response was as awkward as it gets: “It definitely is unique.”
The former employee didn’t stop there. Aficionado claims Kanye targeted his Filipino tattoos, calling them “ugly” and suggesting they be removed, and repeatedly made harmful, conspiratorial remarks about Jewish people.
West’s team has yet to respond to the lawsuit, but this isn’t his first antisemitism scandal. Back in 2022, Kanye’s comments led to Adidas cutting ties with him, costing the rapper and designer millions. And if that wasn’t enough, it’s reported that Ye drew a swastika in his first meeting with Adidas and even suggested a Jewish employee “kiss a picture” of Adolf Hitler.
This lawsuit is a lot, even by Kanye standards. As Ye continues his downward spiral, one thing’s for sure—his antics are burning bridges faster than he can rebuild them.
