Kanye West is facing another legal battle.
This time, from an alleged former employee who is accusing the rap artist of tasking him with launching an inquiry of his ex-wife Kim Kardashian‘s family.
In a retaliation lawsuit filed in a Los Angeles court Oct. 10 and obtained by E! News, the plaintiff—identified as John Joe—states that while working as the rapper’s “director of intelligence,” his duties included “investigating the Kardashian family and supposed various criminal links Ye believed they had with criminal enterprises, including alleged sex trafficking.”
E! News has reached out for comment from reps for Kanye and the Kardashian-Jenner family and has not heard back.
In the lawsuit, the plaintiff, who is identified as John Doe, states that the rap artist hired him in late 2022 and that he was made to conduct investigations, “including those involving attorneys and parties that have filed suit” against Kanye.
“Doe” alleges that in addition to being tasked to investigate the Kardashian-Jenners, the music producer also had him “hire private investigators to follow and ‘tail’ his current wife, Bianca Censori, when she was travelling alone to visit family in Australia, without Ms. Censori’s knowledge.”
