Kanye West told an employee that his ex-wife Kim Kardashian had “Jewish masters,” according to a lawsuit filed Thursday.

The producer and rapper, who also goes by the name Ye, was also accused in the lawsuit of keeping the employee waiting on two separate occasions while having loud sex in an adjoining room.

Murphy Aficionado, a project manager, began working for West in October 2022 and has been responsible for overseeing a variety of construction projects. According to the lawsuit, he was not paid for his work for the first five months.

The fan claims he was routinely subjected to “racist lectures” and that West would indulge in anti-Semitic conspiracies about Kardashian.

“The Jews are out to get me,” West said, according to the lawsuit. “They froze my bank account. The Jews took Kim and my children… The Jews convinced Kim. It has Jewish owners.”

Aficionado was fired in July 2023 when he was informed that West’s school, Donda Academy, would be closing.

West has been hit with a series of lawsuits from former employees this year, accusing him of a wide range of degrading and offensive behavior.

In June, Lauren Pisciotta, a former nurse, sued him for sexual harassment and wrongful termination. She amended her suit in October to allege West drugged and sexually assaulted her without her knowledge.

A former “director of intelligence” for West sued him in October, claiming he was tasked with investigating the Kardashian family and was told to watch West’s wife, Bianca Censori, while she was on vacation.

Benjamin Deshon Provo, another former employee, sued West in April, alleging West fired him when he refused to shave off his dreadlocks, which the suit says were related to Provo’s Muslim faith.

Provo and Aficionado are each represented by attorney Carney Shegerian, who also sued West on behalf of Trevor Phillips, an employee who claimed he was fired because of anti-black racism. In that trial, West said that “the Jews are out to get me.”

West’s attorney in that case, Brian Brumfield, filed a motion to withdraw in September, saying West fired him in June.

“Also, the defendant will not speak to an attorney and the defendant refuses to pay an attorney as well,” Brumfield told the court.

A hearing on Brumfield’s request is set for next week.
