Internet-CultureKanye West is being sued by a former employee who claims the star requested him to ‘hire private investigators to tail’ Bianca Censori.
The rapper, 47, secretly married the Yeezy architect, 29, in 2023, shortly after his marriage to Kim Kardashian officially ended.
Since then, the couple have generated plenty of attention for their public antics and increasingly eccentric outfits.
This week rumours started swirling that they’d split, however soon after they put on an amorous display in Tokyo.
But now Kanye’s former ‘director of intelligence’ is taking him to court, and has made some explosive claims about the rapper’s relationships.
The man, identified only as John Doe, was initially hired as Kanye’s campaign manager when he considered another presidential run in December 2022.
However, he said his role soon changed and he was then tasked with ‘limiting West’s risks and bad press’ in a job that saw him conduct investigations and handle NDAs.
He has alleged that Bianca and the Kardashians were the subject of the investigations.
At the request of Kanye, the man claimed he was told to hire private investigators to track Bianca while she was visiting her family in Australia.
The 22-page lawsuit filed in the Los Angeles Supreme Court reads, as reported by the Daily Mail: ‘A particularly notable task by Ye was to have Doe hire private investigators to follow and “tail” his wife, Bianca Censori, when she was travelling alone to visit family in Australia, without Ms. Censori’s knowledge.’
He also alleged he had been asked to investigate the Kardashian family for ‘supposed various criminal links’ he believed they had with criminal enterprises, including alleged sex trafficking.
The man also alleges that Kanye lashed out after Doe passed along a report of child abuse at the performer’s school, Donda Academy.
The man has also said that earlier this year, Kanye began exhibiting ‘erratic behaviour’ including spending $850,000 (£650,000) on a set of titanium teeth and sacking a ‘large majority of the Yeezy leadership’.
It came at a time where Kanye was accused of consuming nitrous oxide – which John Doe believes ‘played a role in West’s decision-making’.
His attorney Ronald Zambrano has said the man believes there is a ‘direct correlation between the nitrous oxide and the increase in paranoia and siege mentality that ended up happening in that timeframe that Doe worked for West’.
The lawsuit claims Doe’s employment ended in mid-May when he got a call from a Donda Academy teacher ‘regarding safety concerns they had about some of the students’.
After passing the message on to Yeezy executives, West ‘almost immediately called him to yell curse and threaten him with great bodily injury, including death’ if he repeated what he’d been told.
Kante allegedly told Doe he was ‘f***ing dead to [him]’ and played a recording of ‘scary voices that were threatening to harm’ him.
The man claims his experience working for Kanye affected his mental health, triggering his PTSD from his military service and causing panic attacks and anxiety.
Doe is suing West for emotional distress, retaliation and several violations of California labour codes.
He also claims he is owed unpaid wages from the last several pay periods of his employment.
The man said he was eventually fired after reporting the abuse allegations and raising objections about engaging in unethical or unlawful activities, according to the complaint.
He is seeking restitution of unpaid wages, attorneys’ fees, and general and punitive damages.
Last year, Milo Yiannopoulo – who worked as West’s chief of staff – claimed the rapper was addicted to nitrous oxide and accused his dentist Thomas P Connelly of being ‘aware’ of West’s ‘psychological vulnerabilities’ and sought to exploit them by supplying the gas.
However, a rep for Connelly told TMZ at the time that Yiannopoulo’s allegations are ‘not only factually incorrect but also intentionally misleading.’
Metro.co.uk has contacted representatives for Kanye West and the Kardashian family for comment.

Late TikTok star Taylor Rousseau Grigg died ‘suddenly and unexpectedly’ last week (Picture: Instagram/Getty) TikTok star Taylor Rousseau Grigg’s cause of death has been revealed just days after she died aged 25. The influencer, who had over 200,000 followers on Instagram and nearly 1,500,000 on […]
Internet-CultureTikTok star Taylor Rousseau Grigg’s cause of death has been revealed just days after she died aged 25.
The influencer, who had over 200,000 followers on Instagram and nearly 1,500,000 on TikTok, died ‘suddenly and unexpectedly;, on October 4.
A representative for her family has told Today.com that she died after suffering complications from asthma and Addison’s disease.
PEOPLE magazine added that a source close to the family confirmed her death was caused by complications following a severe asthma attack.
Her husband Cameron Grigg confirmed her death on October 5, as he paid tribute to his late wife in an emotional Instagram post.
He wrote: ‘No one ever expects to have to deal with this kind of pain and heartache, especially at our age.
‘This past year Taylor has dealt with more pain and suffering than most people do in a lifetime. And in spite of that she still has been such a light and always brought joy to everyone around her.
‘She is the most brave and strong woman I know, and her confidence in the Lord outweighed every other circumstance she’s faced, even in her darkest hours. I know she’s saved my life and so many others out there.’
Rousseau Grigg had been posting on her accounts just days before her death, with her most recent TikTok video captioned: ‘Sad, sad day’, with a vlog of taking her beloved dog to the vet, as she said: ‘Come with me to get my baby fixed.’
Cameron revealed her organs would be donated to those in need, adding that Rousseau Grigg ‘would want to know that she’s continuing to save people’s lives even after she’s gone from this world’.
He continued: ‘While her earthly body is still here waiting to give the gift of life, we know her spirit is in heaven dancing in the streets made of gold with all her beauty and grace. Her endless shoe/boot collection. And her rhinestones and turquoise jewelry.’
Cameron, who celebrated his one-year wedding anniversary with Rousseau Grigg in August, added that she was ‘no longer in pain’, but her death was ‘so sudden and unexpected’.
He wrote: ‘With this being so sudden and unexpected we don’t have anything financially in order. Taylor has been in and out of the hospital since we got married which has affected our financial situation, therefore we don’t have any insurance.
‘A friend set up a gofundme for anyone who would like to contribute. And even if you can’t contribute financially, prayers for our family are always needed. I’ll share the link and really appreciate if y’all would share it as well.’

Internet-CultureJustin Bieber is said to be ‘completely disgusted’ after the multiple allegations that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is currently facing.
The rapper was arrested last month over charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The 54-year-old has been accused of sexual assault and rape in claims that span decades, with more than 100 people reportedly planning to sue him.
In the wake of the allegations, it has been claimed that the 30-year-old has been warned to steer clear of the disgraced producer.
‘Justin has been advised to stay as far away as possible from anything and everything related to Diddy,’ an insider told Us Weekly, insisting that he wants ‘nothing to do’ with the music mogul, and is ‘completely disgusted’ by the scandal.
They suggested that he ‘wants to protect himself’ and was focusing his attention on life with wife Hailey Bieber, and their newborn baby, Jack.
‘Justin is in a hard place mentally right now,’ the source continued. ‘He has such a history with Diddy and the allegations against him have been hard to process.
‘His happiness being a dad has outweighed his anxiety about Diddy.’
Their professional relationship goes back to years – Bieber most recently collaborated with Combs just last year on his record, The Love: Album: Off The Grid.
It was recently reported that he was ‘thrown’ over the claims made against the Grammy-winner, and has shut himself off.
Combs has been named in multiple lawsuits in recent months, and was arrested in September – he is currently behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, after being denied bail.
Damian Williams, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, held a press conference after he was detained, and told reporters: ‘Between at least 2008 and the present, Combs abused, threatened and coerced victims to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct.
‘Sean Combs led and participated in a racketeering conspiracy that used the business empire he controlled to carry out criminal activity, including sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and the obstruction of justice.
‘As alleged, Combs used force, threats of force and coercion to cause victims to engage in extended sexual performances with male commercial sex workers, some of whom he transported or caused to be transported over state lines.’
Combs’ attorney later told TMZ they were ‘disappointed’ by the arrest of an ‘innocent man.’
He added: ‘We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr Combs by the US Attorney’s Office.’
Metro.co.uk has contacted Justin’s reps for a comment.

Internet-CultureBoyzone have said they are still heartbroken over the death of bandmate Stephen Gately more than a decade after his death.
Gately died 15 years ago today at his holiday home in Majorca aged 33 from an undiagnosed heart condition.
Three of his bandmates Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy and Shane Lynch have paid tribute to him on the anniversary of his death.
On Instagram, Keith shared archive footage of Gately performing and being interviewed on TV, writing: ‘A Brother’s Heart. Steo, my brother, my friend.
‘It’s been 15 years since you left us, but the memories of you remain as vivid as ever.
‘Your laughter, your spirit, your infectious energy – they’re a constant in my life. I miss you dearly. Love always.’
Ronan shared a picture of Gately and wrote ’15 years’ alongside a broken heart emoji, while Shane posted a group shot of Boyzone from the 90s with the caption: ’76-09-10-10.’ Those numbers symbolise the late singer’s years of birth and death.
Fans also shared their memories of Gately on the social media site, with @vannyssregina writing: ‘Always and Forever in our hearts❤️❤️. Steo will always be missed❤️.’
@becky.phillips3 said: ‘He had amazing stage presence, such a memorable voice. He’ll never be forgotten Kitty. Can’t believe it’s been 15yrs!’
@blackers71 also added: ‘What a voice he had! So sad.. thinking of you guys today, I remember years ago I came to see Boyzone & was lucky to go backstage and Ronan was late as he’d just come off the phone to Steo’s Mum 😢😢💔 xx.’
Gately, Ronan, Keith, Shane and Mikey Graham rose to fame as part of the wildly popular Irish boyband Boyzone in the 1990s.
They have sold 6.3 million albums and 8 million singles in the UK, with 25 million records sold worldwide.
In the UK, they had a total of six number one singles, including A Different Beat, All That I Need and When the Going Gets Tough.
After Gately’s death, the group continued as a four-piece and released a farewell album, Thank You & Goodnight, in 2018.

Keith also formed ‘supergroup’ Boyzlife with Brian McFadden of Westlife – another Irish boyband featuring Shane Filan, Mark Feehily, Kian Egan and Nicky Byrne.

Liam and Noel Gallagher are reuniting for a highly anticipated Oasis reunion (Picture: Dave Hogan/Getty Images) Liam Gallagher and his brother Noel Gallagher have an infamously rocky relationship but they have put their issues aside for the Oasis reunion tour but there is one thing […]
Internet-CultureLiam Gallagher and his brother Noel Gallagher have an infamously rocky relationship but they have put their issues aside for the Oasis reunion tour but there is one thing he is ‘scared’ about.
Taking to X earlier today, Liam, 52, didn’t hold back when replying to a fan’s tweet about his relationship with Noel, 57, which claimed the media contributed to their estrangement.
‘RESPEK [sic],’ Liam wrote in response to the post before admitting he has fears around doing interviews in anticipation for the upcoming Oasis reunion tour due to questions that may be asked about the brothers’ relationship.
‘We don’t want to do interviews coz we’re scared of the media asking us intrusive questions and trying to pick holes in our relationship,’ he wrote.
The singer, who has performed as a solo artist since 2017, also responded to a fan who admitted they were ‘still waiting’ for a press conference about the band’s reunion in which their original guitarist Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs will also participate.
‘They ain’t getting 1’, Liam wrote. He elaborated further on why a press conference won’t be called and interviews won’t take place, telling another fan that he ‘can’t be a**ed’.
Liam has also spoken candidly on X about the current state of his relationship with Noel after a fan asked if he was still going to ‘tweet s**t’ about his brother.
‘Nope it’s all done peace has prevailed he’s the man I can’t wait to be on stage with him blowing him kisses in between each song’, he wrote.
Oasis announced their reunion tour in August, 15 years after the last performance together, which took place at V Festival and was a part of their Dig Out Your Soul tour.
Tickets for the 17 shows went on sale soon after and sold out within 10 hours of hitting the Ticketmaster website, but quickly came under fire due to the catastrophic deployment of the ticket retailer’s dynamic pricing system.
This saw some fans paying as much as £355 per ticket – up from an already expensive £135.
With reports more than 14 million people were trying to get their hands on tickets, plenty missed out. Thankfully, they will get another chance to try their luck after the English rock band announced a new series of dates earlier this week.
While already performing in the UK, Canada, US, Mexico, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Brazil, Chile and Argentina, it was revealed on Monday that they are adding an Australian leg to their tour with shows in Sydney and Melbourne in October and November 2025.
Announcing the latest additions, the Don’t Look Back in Anger singers said: ‘People of the land down under. You better run – you better take cover… We are coming. You are most welcome.’
The band will play on Friday, October 13 in Marvel Stadium, Melbourne, and on Friday, November 7 in Accor Stadium, Sydney.
Oasis also reassured fans that dynamic pricing will not be applied to the upcoming sale.
Melbourne tickets on sale to the general public from 10am AEDT time on Tue 15 Oct.
Sydney tickets on sale to the general public from 12pm AEDT time on Tue 15 Oct.

Robert Pattinson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Lucien Laviscount have all been named on the most handsome man list (Picture: Getty/Rex He might just be Hollywood’s new favourite actor and is tipped to play the next James Bond, so will his most recent achievement help his case? […]
Internet-CultureHe might just be Hollywood’s new favourite actor and is tipped to play the next James Bond, so will his most recent achievement help his case? Maybe.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been making waves in the film industry lately, starring alongside heavyweights like Brad Pitt and Ryan Gosling, but it seems he has something his co-stars don’t.
As well as being tipped to play the next 007 after Daniel Craig’s retirement from the character in 2021, the 34-year-old English star has officially been declared the most handsome man in the world, at least according to science.
Through computerised facial mapping techniques, developed by Dr Julian de Silva, it has been found that the Bullet Train actor has a 93.04% accuracy rating according to the Greek Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi.
The test, is a mathematical equation created to measure physical perfection, with the doctor explaining that Aaron is a ‘clear winner’.
‘What makes Aaron so exceptional is the overall shape of his face, which, with a score of 99.2 percent, is only 0.8 percent off being perfect,’ he said.
‘The width and length of his nose is almost perfect, too, at 98.8 percent. He also has a beautifully sculpted chin which scored well at 95 percent.’
Julian continued to say all of Aaron’s scores were ‘really strong’, but there was one category where he lacked, which was his eye spacing. Euqaliting to 89 percent, the only thing lower was his lips which earned a 86 percent score.
Despite this, if Aaron were cast as Bond, it would mean he is by far the most handsome star to be cast in the role.
According to Julian’s findings, Sean Connery, who played the fictional secret agent in 1983 for the film Never Say Never Again, was the closest to Aaron on the list with an 89.2 percent rating.
Coming in as a close second is Emily In Paris star Lucien Laviscount, 32, who was found to have a slightly lower but still impressive score of 92.41 percent, while Irish actor, Paul Mescal, 28, was found to have a score of 92.38 percent.
Robert Pattinson, 38, was also named on the list. Taking out fourth place, The Batman actor, who actually topped the list in 2020, was given a 92.15 percent rating and Jack Lowden, 34, known for his role in Slow Horses was found to have a 90.33 percent score.
Aaron has yet to comment on the report’s findings.
It comes amid claims the actor, who shot to fame playing Robbie in the 2008 film, Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, has been asked to take over from Daniel as Bond.
While the actor has neither confirmed nor denied the rumours, it’s understood he could be competing against Theo James, who is also tipped for the role.
Theo, 39, has appeared on many possible Bond lists alongside the likes of Henry Cavill, rising star Aaron Pierre, Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey and James Norton.
Global head of Amazon MGM Studios Jennifer Salke recently revealed in an interview with The Guardian that they are in ‘no rush’ to find the next Bond and urged fans to be ‘patient’.

Tom Cruise starred opposite Rebecca De Mornay in Risky Business (Picture: Warner Bros) Rebecca De Mornay has unpacked her whirlwind romance with Tom Cruise after they lit up the screen together in the 80s. The former co-stars became close while filming Risky Business in 1982 […]
Internet-CultureRebecca De Mornay has unpacked her whirlwind romance with Tom Cruise after they lit up the screen together in the 80s.
The former co-stars became close while filming Risky Business in 1982 – the coming-of-age movie followed the Top Gun icon, 62, as a high school student who hires a prostitute, and scrambles to afford their night together.
The pair became a couple during production and dated for around three years, before going their separate ways in 1985.
Looking back on their time together four decades later, the Hand That Rocks The Cradle star, 65, said in a new interview: ‘We were so in love, and the movie was a big smash, and I remember just feeling – wow, it’s just going to go on like this!
‘Not the case! Not at all.’
While audiences couldn’t get enough of Risky Business, which still commands a critics score of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, it wasn’t the same for her follow-up movie, The Slugger’s Wife.
‘I came to realize how much of it was out of my control,’ she conceded to the Independent. ‘The reviews I got for Risky Business were phenomenal, and then the reviews I got for Slugger’s Wife were really vicious.
‘But none of it was actually true. I’m not as good as they were saying. And I’m not as horrible as they were saying, either.
‘I had no real plan for what to do next. I knew I didn’t want to be typecast as “the sexy woman”, but it was all so difficult to navigate. Then, three years after Risky Business, my mother died. I was suddenly kind of orphaned, and everything after that just felt like I was flying by the seat of my pants.’
Rebecca has previously spoken publicly about their relationship and how ‘jarring’ she found the attention after Risky Business hit the big screen in the early 80s.
‘I thought it was going to be a big hit,’ she told the Wrap last year. ‘It was personally jarring, and thrilling and discombobulating to have become famous so quickly.
‘Tom and I were together when the movie came out and we had photographers jumping out of bushes, the pre-paparazzi days.’
After their split, the actress moved on with Bruce Wagner and they walked down the aisle in 1986 – but they divorced in 1990.
She then got engaged to singer Leonard Cohen before welcoming two daughters with fellow actor Patrick O’Neal.
Meanwhile, Tom enjoyed a three-year marriage to Mimi Rogers before tying the knot with Nicole Kidman.
Following their divorce in 2001 – 11 years after their nuptials – he dated Penelope Cruz and later married Katie Holmes in 2006, months after she welcomed their daughter, Suri Cruise.
It wasn’t to last and they called time on their romance in June, 2012, and signed a divorce settlement days later.

iI’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! is apparently bringing back a major part of the series, four years after it was shelved.
With around a month to go until the ITV show returns, speculation is rife as to which celebrities will jump on board to head into the jungle this year.
So far, stars rumoured for the 2024 line-up include the likes of former Strictly Come Dancing pro Giovanni Pernice, former X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos and boxer Tommy Fury.
While we’re yet to find out the official cast, it has now been reported that a big element of the programme is making a comeback after four years away.
From 2016 until 2019, I’m A Celebrity had a companion show called I’m A Celebrity: Extra Camp, which used to air on ITV2 and provided viewers with a behind-the-scenes look at the goings-on of the camp.
It also featured interviews with former stars of the competition, and relatives of the contestants.
However, in 2020, Extra Camp ended and instead, I’m A Celebrity… The Daily Drop sprung up in its place, which was hosted by Vick Hope and available to watch on ITV Hub.
The Daily Drop only aired for one season, before it was axed from the programme.
According to a new report, Extra Camp will be making a return – but it won’t be exactly the same.
A spokesperson said in a statement sent to The Sun: ‘Since Extra Camp came off air four years ago the conversation and engagement around I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! continues to grow across all social media platforms.
‘This new ITV2 companion show will bring together all those conversations in one place, to give viewers the ultimate IAC destination for all of their news, gossip and behind the scenes fun around TV’s biggest entertainment show.’
A source added to the publication that there’s a ‘huge buzz around I’m A Celeb this year and everyone wants the mischief of Extra Camp to return as well’.
They continued: ‘It is believed that there will be a different show name as it makes a comeback with lots of names in the mix to host.
‘And it looks like there will be a few presenters as well to add to the fun of the show.’
Last year, reality TV star Sam Thompson was crowned the winner of I’m A Celebrity, with former professional boxer Tony Bellew finishing in second place and former Ukip politician Nigel Farage ending in third.
Metro.co.uk has contacted ITV for comment.
I’m A Celebrity will return this year on ITV1 and ITVX.

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star James Haskell has thanked fans for support after sharing an ‘ominous’ post from hospital.
The former England rugby player, who appeared on the ITV reality competition in 2019, revealed his ‘arm fell off’ and he needed surgery.
The 39-year-old took to Instagram to show his arm in a sling, writing: ‘Not what I thought I’d be doing this week! But I’m alive, the Op went well. did someone say Rehab? I know a lot about Rehab. Let the journey begin.’
Fans rushed to wish him well and a ‘speedy recovery’, as James later took to social media with an update.
Filming from hospital, he said in one video: ‘I realised I’ve put an ominous post up with just me in a sling.
‘I can’t begin to tell you how f**king stupid it is what’s happened, but essentially on Monday I ripped the bicep tendon off my left arm.
‘It wasn’t even training, it was filming some content stuff, and the first two times it was absolutely fine, third time I changed my grip, and I ripped it off the bone.’
‘I put 109kg through my arm and it just snapped, and the sound of it was horrific,’ he went on.
Thankfully, James’ surgery went well and he’s now waiting for the ‘wound to heal’.
He insisted he still plans on DJing ‘one-handed’, and hopes to be carrying on with his body transformation, ‘albeit on one side’.
The podcast host went on to talk about his plans for recovery, ‘doing everything I can do’, after the tendon was ‘reattached’.
‘We learnt some lessons, certain levels of content are not for a nearly-40-year-old man,’ he said.
‘Stick to DJing, a lot safer,’ he added, thanking fans for their support.
‘I’m not even playing rugby anymore and my arm has fallen off.’
He later shared an update on his way back from hospital, thanking fans again and explaining that he had to miss a DJing gig because his ‘arm had come off’.
‘I’m going to reschedule, I’ll be back there to play,’ he said.
‘My arm’s fallen off! You all know it’s bad,’ he added, reacting to one message from a fan.
This comes a year after James announced his split from Chloe Madeley after five years of marriage.
The couple split in September 2023, just months after the birth of their daughter Bodhi, who they now co-parent.
The former couple had filmed an ITV reality show prior to their split – Chloe Madeley: A Family Affair – and said in a joint statement that they had ‘mutually decided to separate’.
Alongside the statement, James also typed: ‘It’s with a lot of sadness I write this post, but unfortunately, in the world we live in, it has to be done. My priority is my daughter’s and Chloe’s happiness and security. For that reason, I won’t be commenting any further.’

iThe Traitors winner Harry Clark is said be ‘in talks’ with I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! bosses for the upcoming series.
Details about the line-up are still being kept tightly under wraps, though the likes of Tommy Fury after the news of his split from Molly-Mae Hague, and Love Island’s Zara McDermott are already rumoured to be heading into the jungle.
Meanwhile, Phillip Schofield has cleared up any speculation he may also be taking part in the reality competition, saying there’s ‘some channels you won’t work for’ as he made his TV comeback on Channel 5’s Cast Away.
It’s now been said Harry could be swapping the BBC for ITV, after winning £95,000 on Claudia Winkleman’s murder mystery gameshow last year.
An insider said: ‘Harry has had meetings with ITV and is desperate to land a place in the jungle.
‘He previously had meetings with Strictly and didn’t get it, they didn’t think he was a big enough name, so now he has set his sights on heading Down Under.’
They added to The Sun: ‘Harry is really keen to land a big show before the next series of The Traitors comes on, as he worries once there is another winner out there he stands less chance of landing other telly gigs.’
Harry has previously been tipped for I’m A Celebrity, and is dating Anna Maynard, whose brother Jack competed on the series in 2017 but left after social media posts resurfaced.
The army engineer was also rumoured for Strictly alongside his co-star Mollie Pearce, who he duped at the last minute and beat in the BBC competition with some sneaky tactics.
Mollie, 22, has now confirmed she’s signed up to Dancing On Ice, saying: ‘It will be fun, I want to challenge myself, I’m ready for the challenge.’
She’ll be joining Towie legend Ferne McCann, 34, Olympic rower Sir Steve Redgrave, 62, and Coronation Street star Sam Aston, 30.
Metro.co.uk has reached out to ITV for comment.
I’m A Celebrity returns to ITV later this year.
