Kanye West’s former employee is suing him over claims he spewed hate speech and praised Adolf Hitler in front of students at Donda Academy.

The controversial star, who now goes by Ye, has been hit with a lawsuit as concern for his wife Bianca Censori’s revealing outfits continues to grow.

An ex Yeezy employee has claimed Ye praised Hitler and made other antisemitic remarks to students at the school he founded in 2022 for under 18s.

In another shocking accusation, Trevor Phillips accused the 46-year-old rapper of threatening to lock students in cages as he intended to put a jail in the school.

When speaking to two students at the school, he allegedly suggested he would shave their heads and spewed antisemitic comments at them.

According to Forbes, Phillips is claiming racial discrimination, harassment, whistleblower retaliation, and other crimes — asking a judge to grant him at least $35,000 in damages.

Originally tasked with growing the cotton production for Yeezy, his role reportedly evolved to cover handling the school.

Phillips said he was ‘mercilessly’ berated by Ye, in front of students and teachers after becoming a ‘target’.

Along with general harassment, the complaint alleges the Yeezy founder gave white employees preferential treatment while ‘screaming’ and ‘berating’ people of colour.

A bizarre incident was included in documents seen by TMZ, he described meeting Ye at the Nobu Hotel in Malibu.

The Power rapper allegedly complained to the staff that Batman wasn’t playing in the room they were in before stating: ‘These Jews are greedy’.

He then reportedly declared ‘Hitler was great’ and ‘He’s the reason we have cars’.

Along with his anti-Semitic comments, Phillips alleges Ye told him he had a porn addiction and pretended to masturbate in front of him.

Also targeted were members of the LGBTQ+ community, as the dad-of-four reportedly said: ‘Gay people are not true Christians. And gay people are controlled by Bill Gates so that they don’t have children for population control.’

Phillips claims he was fired by Ye in May 2023 on a whim during a Sunday service, later discovering his boss simply didn’t like the garden display.

Donda Academy is a Christian private school, with some former teachers claiming bizarre rules — such as no Nike or Adidas — and non-disclosure agreements.

It’s unknown if the school is still operating as it was shut down in October 2022, following the resignation of a Jewish teacher amid Ye’s antisemitic comments.

The school notified parents it would be closing for the remainder of the academic year before reopening a day later.

Metro.co.uk has reached out to Ye’s team for comment.
