Benjamin Deshon Provo, formerly of fashion brand Yeezy and Donda Academy, said he was fired after blowing the whistle about alleged labour code violations.In a lawsuit filed Friday morning in Los Angeles , Mr Provo claims that he “suffered severe discrimination, harassment and retaliation by Kanye West” during the time he served as a security guard at the infamous Donda Academy.
The lawsuit goes on to state, “During Plaintiff’s employment, Kanye openly expressed his displeasure with black authors. Specifically, in or around mid-2023, Kanye required that anyone associated with Donda dispose of books related to Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and other prominent figures in the black community.”
“Such offensive opinions were particularly troubling to Plaintiff, who is unapologetically black,” the lawsuit says.The lawsuit also alleges that West engaged in whistleblowing retaliation, wrongful termination and intentional infliction of emotional distress.He also asks for the injunction against all defendants, prohibiting them from owning and operating any type of educational school for minor children under the age of 18 years in the state of California.
