    The employees in the joint suit, half of whom are minors (with one as young as 14)—allege that in addition to not being paid for their work, they were subject to racial slurs and Black employees were called “slaves.” They also claim that the minors were exposed to pornographic material while working on Ye’s new adult-film and pornography venture Yeezy Porn, and that Ye’s team was “directly and personally aware” of said exposure.

    The employees state in the suit that Ye’s wife Bianca Censori sent an employee a shared file of “hardcore” porn for the Yeezy Porn platform, and that photos from that file were “openly disseminated” in group forums with the underage workers. The employees also claim they were threatened with non-payment if they refused to sign NDAs.

    I’m not blaming the kids, but I’m 100% blaming the parents who let their teenagers intern for Kanye West.

    That’s just insanely irresponsible and they literally aren’t fit to have custody. Like it’s shady enough for a legit celebrity, but Kanye?
