Kanye West faces a legal slapdown, insiders say. A judge hit him with a $2,560 fine Thursday. Sources tell The National Enquirer that Kanye West, now Ye, dodged a key deposition. Trevor Phillips sued over antisemitic rants at Donda Academy, they note. Judge Thomas Long ordered Ye to talk by April 30, 2025. His no-show irked the court.
Phillips, once at Ye’s Yeezy and Donda Academy, filed in April 2023. He claims Kanye West spewed hate—praising Hitler, they say. The insider adds Phillips faced threats too. Ye wanted kids caged at school, he alleged. White staff got better treatment, Phillips insists. Justin Shegerian, his lawyer, vows to grill Ye hard. Kanye West’s antics can’t hide now, he told reporters.
Kanye West’s Court Clash
Kanye West’s lawyer, Eduardo Martorell, shrugs off control, the source said. He can’t reach Ye, he admitted in court. Phillips says Ye’s rants trashed Jews and gays, they noted. Shegerian doubts Ye’s recent X post claiming he’s not a Nazi. Antisemitic echoes linger, he argued. Kanye West’s fine follows Benjamin Deshon Provo’s case too. Provo, a Black ex-staffer, got $500 off Ye for dodging, they added.
Ye’s Donda Academy mess grows. Phillips says he bullied staff, insiders recall. Shegerian pushes for truth—Ye’s cornered now.
Kanye West’s Lawsuit Pileup
Kanye West juggles more suits, the insider hinted. Provo claims racial bias at Donda, they said. He refused to ditch Black leader books, then got axed, he alleges. Legal teams chase Ye, but he slips away, they noted. Phillips says Ye’s hate hit kids too—cages loomed, he claimed. Kanye West’s reps stay mum.
Ye’s empire wobbles. Fines stack, and his rants fuel this legal fire, insiders warn.
