A former employee of Kanye West has filed a lawsuit claiming the rapper sent her antisemitic remarks and fired her when she spoke up about it.

West is being sued by a former Jewish Yeezy employee on allegations of antisemitic and sexist comments, including allegedly calling himself a Nazi and comparing himself to Adolf Hitler.

The lawsuit, which was filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday (February 11), includes a string of allegations made against West.

In a sequence of texts allegedly sent in 2024, the anonymous employee claims West called her 'ugly' and declared 'Hail Hitler'.

The suit also accuses West of denigrating women.

The plaintiff alleges that West sent her a text reading “I Am A NAZI,” in January after she urged him to make a statement condemning Nazism.

The suit also claims he text two staffers saying, "Welcome to the first day of working for Hitler".

The former employee went on to claim she was fired from West's team after reporting the rapper for harassment to her manager.

Carney Shegerian, the plaintiff’s lawyer, said in a statement: "Ye waged a relentless and deliberate campaign of antisemitism and misogyny against my client. His appalling treatment of women and fixation on Nazism, evident in abusive texts where he repeatedly calls himself Hitler, expose his motives.

"We need to stop excusing Ye’s behavior. As a father, husband, and employer, he must be held accountable. Ye dared my client to sue, and we will see him in court."

It comes after West was dropped by his talent agency following a string of antisemitic comments made on Twitter over the weekend.

Daniel McCartney, a talent agent at 33&West, said the agency decided to drop West 'due to his harmful and hateful remarks that myself nor 33&West can stand for'.

During Super Bowl Sunday, West was able to get a commercial on air to sell his t-shirts with swastikas.

At the time of the ad going live, West didn't have the pro-Nazi t-shirts on his yeezy.com website.

Roughly an hour later, the only thing yeezy.com was selling was a single t-shirt with a swastika on it.

The site has since been shut down, with shoppers now met with an error message which states: "This store is unavailable."

Shopify, the e-commerce platform which hosts a string of online businesses including Yeezy, shared the following statement with NBC News which explained why it was taken down: "All merchants are responsible for following the rules of our platform.

"This merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms so we removed them from Shopify."

UNILAD has contacted West's reps for comment.
