The world of music offers the innate ability to touch millions of hearts through the power of lyrics and beats. Debuting to the mainstream decades ago, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has over the years cultivated a strong influence over the hip-hop and rap genres. However, he has also branched off with business ventures such as Yeezy, which still stands tall with billions in valuation. However, after a long period of smooth sailing, some troubled waters came calling.

A former employee has brought forth scathing allegations against the rapper with a lawsuit grabbing the headlines.

The ‘Donda’ singer once had a fortune as high as over $6 billion a few years down the line. However, a major chunk of it went away during the Adidas-Yeezy crisis. Now, at a time, when ‘Vultures’ has found fervor in propelling him back to the heights, a lawsuit from a former employee threatens to rupture the tide. From threatening to punch in the face to mocking the complainant in Mario's voice, strange and scathing allegations have surfaced.

Additional charges of discrimination and unlawful conduct have also made their way into the lawsuit. Moreover, Ye has yet to formally reply or address the claims. A frequent outlet for his thoughts, his Instagram handle also underwent a deactivation from his side, adding a barrier for him to reach fans. Finally, all of it came close on the heels of another former Yeezy member, YesJulz AKA Julianne Goddard being sued for $8 million by the singer.
