Kanye West's 'Yeezy Porn' venture faces serious legal challenges amid allegations of toxic workplace conditions and inappropriate conduct involving minors. The lawsuit details disturbing practices at the company, which began as an attempt to create a music streaming platform.

According to the lawsuit, West acquired an app and its developers to launch his own streaming service, aiming to bypass traditional platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. The development teams, known as YZYVSN and YZYAPP, consisted of fans worldwide, including several minors—one as young as 14.

Key allegations in the lawsuit include:

  • No safeguards to prevent minors from working on adult content
  • Racist and hostile work environment fostered by Milo Yiannopoulos
  • Forced signing of NDAs, including by underage workers
  • Harassment based on age, race, gender, sexual orientation, and ethnicity
  • Inappropriate sharing of pornographic content, including by Bianca Censori
  • False promises of payment and acquisition deals

The Discord channels used for communication allegedly contained racist language, with team members being referred to as "slaves" and "new slaves." Workers reported experiencing "hostile, intimidating, and harassing" conditions, including constant deadline changes and cult-like behavior.

Milo Yiannopoulos, who later left the project on May 20, dismissed the lawsuit as a "sad race hustle" on social media, claiming it was filed by incompetent developers. He cited the project as an "imminent danger" to his mental and physical health upon his departure.

The accused parties allegedly informed workers on May 7 that the acquisition deal was not real, and they would not receive payment for their work, leaving many developers who had contributed to the project without compensation.
