About this listen
This week in the life of Kanye West has been anything but quiet After weeks of mounting speculation about his financial state Kanye listed both his fire damaged church and his Calabasas ranch for sale Instagram buzzed with rumors that the listings are a desperate move due to being cash strapped though no official comment has been made by his team Meanwhile another shockwave hit the news cycle when it emerged that Kanye is embroiled in a lawsuit filed by his former assistant Lauren Pisciotta According to the Economic Times and detailed by Parade Pisciotta accused Kanye of sexual assault, physical abuse, harassment, sex trafficking, and false imprisonment—charges that have not only made headlines but also drawn stern rebuttals from the Yeezy camp A Yeezy spokesperson called her suit a concoction and promised to annihilate her claims in court, while Pisciotta’s attorney Lisa Bloom insisted Kanye has already admitted to much of what’s being alleged escalating a back-and-forth that looks poised for a protracted legal battle
Kanye did make a rare public statement through his rep this week dismissing Pisciotta’s allegations as the fourth contradictory version shes presented and called her accusations fantasy fiction This is the most significant legal controversy West has faced in years and its ripples have already impacted his reputation With a high-profile concert in China just days away this clash could overshadow any return to music headlines
On the music scene Ye’s name was also in the mix as Pusha T, the rapper once hand-picked to lead Kanye's G O O D Music label, has now publicly shut the door on any future collaborations with him In separate interviews with The Guardian and GQ Pusha T made clear that not only is his Kanye era over but that he no longer respects West as a man after witnessing his weakest sides Recent Clipse lyrics also seemed to send a message to fans waiting on new Yeezy collaborations — dont hold your breath
On the social front Kanye is still polarizing Last weekend he returned to Instagram briefly only to follow Taylor Swift’s account for a short burst before switching back to following only his wife Bianca Censori This fueled more headlines about the years-long Swift–West saga especially as both appeared at the Grammys Where some outlets suggested Kanye was escorted out after a red carpet incident with Censori’s revealing outfit People and TMZ countered that he simply left voluntarily—no police involved The truth seems to be that Ye exited before Swift’s dramatic arrival and the two remained well apart
Speaking of Bianca Censori she continues to make news in her own right This week she turned heads with a candy themed lingerie look in Brooklyn and then followed it up by posting a cryptic Instagram story claiming her account was hacked While speculation swirled Bianca was photographed in LA with three of Kanye's children sporting an unexpectedly demure all black look — a far cry from her usual headline grabbing style
And just before the week wrapped Kanye waded into international news territory, calling for the resignation of Egyptian President El Sisi on Instagram underscoring that even while under fire at home he remains eager to court controversy abroad
Headlines this week read Kanye West Lists Fire Damaged Church Amid Money Rumors, Ex Assistant Sues Kanye West over Sexual Assault, and Pusha T Declares Kanye Era Over Among these ongoing legal drama and business dealings are set to cast long shadows over both Wests finances and his legacy for months if not years to come
