Kanye West, the controversial musician and fashion mogul, is back in the limelight again. However, this time for legal reasons. Another legal case has been reported recently in a U. S. District Court.
This time for ‘‘forced labor and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment” at Yeezy. The lawsuit highlights extremely poor working conditions and fuels the claims with some allegations linking it to Bianca Censori, West’s new wife.

Kanye West Charged With Labor Exploitation
The case was filed by a group of 8 former Yeezy workers some then being minors who chose to remain anonymous. And it provides quite a detailed description of the company’s working environment. They claim to have been denied reasonable rest and wages for work.
The lawsuit also claims that West’s former chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, referred to some staffers as ‘New slaves’. The accusations are particularly ironic considering West’s 2016 song ‘New Slaves,’ which criticized the exploitation of factory workers.
Additionally, it also mentioned how the working environment in Yeezy was racist, with repeated false promises being made regarding payment and working hours. The suit went as far as to state that the workers were kept up to work at night without pay or sleep.

Bianca Censori Accused Of Sharing “Hardcore” Inappropriate Content With Minors
The lawsuit takes another bizarre turn by implicating Bianca Censori, West’s recently married wife. While not named as a defendant, the lawsuit alleges that Censori sent a file-sharing link containing “hardcore inappropriate content” to Yeezy employees, some of whom were minors.
This raises serious concerns about the company culture and the lack of boundaries between personal and professional conduct. “No guardrails were put in place to prevent the underage YZYVSN workers from working on Yeezy Porn, or to prevent them from being exposed to and being forced to view pornography to perform their work,” the suit also stated.
Of course, the credibility of these allegations has yet to be proven. Kanye West and his representatives have not entered any statement about the lawsuit. However, the ‘forced labor‘ lawsuit is definitely not helpful for Yeezy.
