The mother of George Floyd's daughter is planning to file a $250 million lawsuit against Kanye West. Roxie Washington, who is the mother of Gianna Floyd, is taking action against the 45-year-old rapper for harassment, misappropriation, defamation, and infliction of emotional distress after he recently alleged George died as a result of fentanyl use and not as a result of police brutality.
Witherspoon Law Group and Dixon and Dixon Attorneys at Law confirmed that the family have already issued a cease-and-desist letter to Kanye for having made "false statements about George Floyd’s death to promote his brands, and increase marketing value and revenue for himself, his business partners, and associates. ” According to TMZ, the letter reads in part: "Mr.
Floyd’s cause of death is well-settled through evidence presented in courts of law during the criminal and civil trials that were the result of his untimely and horrific death.
Nevertheless, you have maliciously made statements that are inaccurate and unfounded, causing damage to Mr. Floyd’s estate and his family. " The Floyd family say the 'Stronger' rapper's statements were "blatantly false" and "malicious" and argue Gianna is being "retraumatised" by Kanye's comments, which are "creating an unsafe and unhealthy environment for her.
