Kanye West has frequently found himself in the spotlight due to various personal and professional matters, including his music, mental health, and relationship issues. The most recent complaint against him was filed on Friday, April 26, in Los Angeles.
The complaint stated that Mr. Provo began working for West as a rapper around August 2021 and subsequently spent six months at Donda Academy. When the school relocated to a new location, Provo was assigned additional job responsibilities due to staffing shortages. He also provided security services for West's Sunday Service events and at his Yeezy warehouse.
