After weeks of spewing antisemitic and controversial remarks, Kanye West has found himself at the center of a $250 million lawsuit filed by the family of police brutality victim George Floyd.
According to a news release obtained by The Times on Tuesday, Roxie Washington, the mother of Floyd’s daughter, will sue Kanye West (legal name Ye) for “harassment, misappropriation, defamation” and “infliction of emotional distress.” Click 2 Houston first reported the news.
The lawsuit comes just days after the “Donda” rapper made disparaging comments about the death of Floyd in 2020 when Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin pinned him to the ground for nearly 9 1/2 minutes. Floyd’s murder sparked the Black Lives Matter movement and global cries against police brutality.
