A spokesperson added, “We are incredibly proud of the work that we did with Ye and are disappointed that such a fruitful relationship has come to this.

A celebrity weaponizing fame and reputation to take advantage of eager collaborators is simply unacceptable.” West has not yet responded to the lawsuit.
