Kanye West recently settled a class action lawsuit from former Yeezy employees for $625,000. The lawsuit, which included claims by former assistant designer Taliah Leslie and assistant patternmaker Shelby Grochowski, detailed allegations such as unpaid overtime, violations of meal breaks, and employee misclassification.
Although Kanye’s company denied any wrongdoing, it agreed to the settlement following extended negotiations. The lawsuit also highlighted strict conditions in the workplace, such as bans on indoor eating.
Beyond legal challenges, Kanye has continued to make headlines alongside his wife, Bianca Censori.
During a recent Halloween celebration in Tokyo, Censori wore a bold outfit consisting of large lacy patches and a matching thong, which attracted mixed reactions, especially on Japanese social media.
The couple attended a private Maison Margiela party, where Kanye dressed in his signature understated style of a white sweatshirt, sweatpants, and dark sunglasses.
Concerns have been raised regarding West’s potential control over Censori’s fashion choices, which often resemble the boundary-pushing styles seen on Kim Kardashian when she was married to Kanye.
Reports suggest that Censori’s friends and family have noticed a change in her behavior since she started dating Kanye, with some fearing she lacks autonomy in their relationship. This adds to previous speculations about Kanye’s influence on his partners’ appearances, as Kardashian once acknowledged his significant impact on her style during their marriage.
