Kanye West told Kim Kardashian she ‘had Jewish masters’

Kanye West allegedly turned a Yeezy employee’s job into a living ‘nightmare’ by subjecting the man to anti-Semitic tirades – often involving attacks against Kim Kardashian — and holding business meetings in hotel suites where West engaged in loud sex in neighboring rooms, according to a new lawsuit.

Plaintiff Murphy Aficionado claims the rapper, who legally changed his name to Ye, hired him as a project manager in October 2022 in what he initially considered a dream gig. In his lawsuit, Aficionado claims he worked up to 70 hours a week and sometimes slept in the office to meet deadlines. Instead of receiving his promised salary of $125 an hour, Aficionado says he was inundated with “racist lectures,” angry outbursts and empty promises.

“Ye’s anti-Semitic tirades and plots were daily. Often these outbursts were about how Jews controlled the Kardashians. Other times, Ye talked about how Jews were going after him and his money,” the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court says.

“The Jews are out to get me. They froze my bank account. The Jews got Kim (Kardashian) and my kids,” West allegedly told a confused aficionado on one occasion, according to the lawsuit filed by attorneys Carney R. Shegerian and William Reed. When Aficionado asked West what he meant, the Yeezy boss reportedly responded, “The Jews convinced Kim (Kardashian). She has Jewish masters.

Aficionado claims that in late November 2022, West summoned him to the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills for a business meeting and that a lawyer for conservative commentator Candace Owens left the suite as he entered. Aficionado claims he tried to get away with it when he spotted West’s wife, Bianca Censori, topless inside, but he claims West “ordered” him to sit down. He says West told him the lawyer was “a Jewish spy.” It further alleges that West demonstrated his “dominance” by opening the door to the bedroom where Censori had retreated, exposing her again. He claims West left the door slightly ajar while he had loud sex with Censori while Aficionado silently waited for their meeting to resume.

“Disturbed, Aficionado wanted nothing more than to leave. However, Aficionado feared further retaliation from one of the most famous, powerful and erratic artists in the world,” the lawsuit states. The aficionado claims West came back from the bedroom wearing a swastika T-shirt and aggressively asked her, “You don’t like my shirt?”

According to the lawsuit, West asked her to return to the same suite for another meeting later that week. Aficionado says West was in the suite with an unnamed “famous NFL wide receiver” when he arrived and both men were dressed in towels. He claims they took turns entering a room where they allegedly had audible sex with a masseuse. “The Aficionado sat uncomfortably as time slowly passed,” the lawsuit claims, “while he listened to the clapping and moaning from that room where Ye and his masseuse were making love.”

Aficionado claims West asked him to move the music mogul’s controversial Donda Academy children’s school to a new campus in Chatsworth in February 2023. When Aficionado and other members of his team explained that building permits would be necessary to transform the “decrepit property” into a child-safe environment, West allegedly “became furious and shouted that he would not agree to wait or use permits,” according to the lawsuit. Aficionado says he was laid off in July 2023 when Donda Academy closed its doors.
