Kanye West to testify in April 2025 in lawsuit from former Donda Academy employee

Kanye West will be deposed in April 2025 as part of a lawsuit from his former employee, Benjamin Deshon Provo. Provo claims he faced severe emotional distress and discrimination during his time as a security guard at Donda Academy. Provo alleges he was fired due to his race and experienced mistreatment compared to white employees. He claims West frequently screamed at him and ridiculed his hairstyle. A judge has ordered West to appear for the deposition by April 29, 2025, and imposed a $500 sanction for his previous failure to attend.
