LOS ANGELES — Rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, is facing a workplace abuse lawsuit as employees of the star have accused him of acting like Kanye West.
Former employee Nicholas Cassidy filed the lawsuit this week, claiming that West created a hostile work environment by acting like Kanye West.
“It was really awful. He was narcissistic, racist, antisemitic, and just all-around deranged. Every day he would go around spouting off insane ramblings like how Hitler deserved love and how he would have succeeded if he had some Yeezys,” claimed Cassidy. “A lot of times he would threaten us in a Super Mario voice and then do a little dance. Just completely unhinged, erratic behavior. Exactly how you would expect Kanye West to act. It was traumatizing.”
Another employee, Travis Taylor says that his friends and family warned him before taking the job.
“Everyone said not to work for Kanye. All my friends, and all my family said the same thing. He’s Kanye and he’s going to act like Kanye and you’ll hate it but I blew them off,” Taylor said. “I figured he’d never actually be there running things but he was there pretty much all the time since he really has no one to hang out with when he’s not making new, worse music.”
Kanye denied all the allegations against him.
“I didn’t do anything. To be honest I don’t even think they worked for me. They’re simply using my name and my greatness for some agenda. I made Graduation. I invented art. I am Picasso, I am Alexander the Great. They are Bill Gates and his foundation, trying to discredit me because he knows I’m a threat to the whole matrix of society,” explained West.
At press time, Kanye was reportedly designing a new outfit for his wife that looks like a NASA spacesuit but with no pants.
