A former “director of intelligence” for Kanye West, now known as Ye, has filed a lawsuit against him. In the ‘suit filed on Thursday (Oct. 10), the unnamed plaintiff claims he was instructed to tail the Kardashian family for allegedly partaking in “sex trafficking.”
The accuser also alleged that West asked him to hire private investigators to follow his wife, Bianca Censori, while she visited family in Australia. Per Variety, the lawsuit states, “John Doe was also tasked by Ye with investigating the Kardashian family and their alleged connections to criminal enterprises, including claims of sex trafficking.”
Elsewhere in the document, the plaintiff mentions a time when West allegedly became furious at him for reporting an incident of child abuse at his Donda Academy. According to John Doe, West screamed at him, “You’re f**king dead to me!” and allegedly played a threatening “recording of scary voices.”

The plaintiff is suing for “retaliation and emotional distress,” which he claims has negatively impacted his mental health and ignited PTSD from his military service. The Doe has also claimed to have experienced panic attacks and anxiety and is looking to gain unpaid wages from his last few pay periods.
He was reportedly hired by Yeezy in December 2022 as a “deputy campaign director” and was then promoted to “director of intelligence.” A few of his responsibilities included “generating ideas” to keep Ye relevant in media. The Doe also reportedly handled various issues such as “recovering lost or stolen items.”
Kanye West has yet to address allegations against him.
