In a lawsuit, Lauren Pisciotta alleges the star sent her lewd texts and performed sex acts while on the phone with her, according to US media.

She claims she was fired in 2022, but that a $3 million (£2.4 million) severance package was never paid.

The BBC has contacted West’s lawyer for a response to her allegations, but has yet to receive a reply.

The lawsuit was first reported in the US by TMZ, and later confirmed by Rolling Stone, The Wrap and US Weekly, which says court papers were filed on Monday in the US.

      Do you? I’m not a huge hip hop fan, but there are plenty of artists who haven’t done anything atrocious as far as we know.

      If you have an ethical problem listening to a musician like Kanye, I guarantee you there are plenty of other artists out there you probably have never even heard of with music you’ll like just as much if you go out and look for them.

      Golddigger and Power were probably his only really good hits.

      People literally praise “Poopity Scoop”

          Taste is subjective. I was never really a fan of Kaiser Kanye to begin with, his whole nazi sympathizer bullshit really just drove that point home.

          Imo, he’s overrated as hell.

            “I like the radio hits” is very arguably bad taste

            But yes Nazis are bad
