Kanye West has been hit with another lawsuit after several of his former employees accused him of not paying them their wages.
Kanye West has been hit with another legal charge.
The rapper has reportedly been hit with a lawsuit from eight former employees, including some minors.
This is after the rapper launched a new app called, YZYVSN - a streaming service to rival Tidal, Spotify, and Apple Music, to promote his music.
He reportedly hired an international developer group, which also included underage teens as young as 14.

Later, Kanye and his wife decided to develop another app, Yeezy Porn.
According to several publications, the lawsuit detailed how his wife, Bianca Censori, sent a file-sharing link containing hardcore sexual activity that was accessible by minors who were working on the apps.
Not only that, but according to Rolling Stone, the employees claim the music mogul didn’t pay them and called them “slaves".
According to TMZ, the lawsuit was filed in a U.S. District Court on Saturday.
It names Ye and his former chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, as defendants.
The suit alleges Kanye and Milo engaged in "forced labor and cruel inhuman, or degrading treatment".
The employees also allegedly worked insanely long hours and they were openly mocked with racist jabs.
