A former employee accused Kanye West of making anti-Semitic statements about his ex-wife Kim Kardashian in a lawsuit filed on Thursday, November 14.
Complaints pile up for Kanye West, who is being sued by project manager Murphy Aficionado, who accuses him of regularly subjecting him to “racist lectures” and anti-Semitic theories about the mother of his children , Kim Kardashian. The American rapper reportedly declared: “The Jews want my skin. The Jews got Kim and my children… The Jews convinced Kim. She has Jewish masters.
Having started working for the controversial artist in October 2022, he was responsible for overseeing several construction projects, but was reportedly not paid for the first five months. Additionally, the plaintiff alleged that his former employer, who now calls himself Ye, allegedly made him wait on two occasions while he had loud sex in a nearby room. Murphy Aficionado was ultimately fired in July 2023, after learning of the closure of “Donda Academy,” the school founded by the rapper.

His lawyer William Reed explained that this complaint aims to “force Ye to understand that this behavior has no place in our society”, denouncing “hate and anti-Semitism” as well as “total respect for the women who ‘surround’.
Married to reality TV star Kim Kardashian for eight years, the couple had four children, North, 11, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5. They divorced in 2022, but their relationship deteriorated significantly over time. The businesswoman even claimed that she was “raising four children on my own” during her appearance on the “What the Winkler?” podcast. “It’s not something I talk about a lot because I feel like there’s always a lot of judgment or people are always like, ‘Oh, but you can afford nannies and help,” she explained.
The rapper, who has made numerous anti-Semitic statements in recent years, faces several lawsuits from former employees, including one filed in June by his former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta. She sued him for sexual harassment and wrongful termination. His complaint was amended in October to include drug and sexual assault charges.
