Kanye West<\/strong><\/a>‘s former employee, Benjamin Provo<\/strong><\/a>, is laying out his case against the musician as he seeks an 8-figure sum … claiming he was discriminated against because of his hairstyle.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

In new court docs, obtained by TMZ, Benjamin says he believes he’s owed up to around $23 million in damages from Kanye and his Donda Academy … claiming he was fired for refusing to cut off his dreads.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Benjamin, a Black man, claims he faced discrimination while working at Kanye’s Donda Academy in 2022 … and alleges Kanye also removed all books by prominent Black leaders.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n

As part of the case, Benjamin says he deposed Kanye’s former chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos<\/strong><\/a>, who testified that if you have “really thin skin about racially charged remarks \u2026 this really is not the company for you.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

He says Milo added, “If you’re working at Yeezy between 2023 and 2024, you must accept the provocative way Ye talked about religion.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

In his own docs, Kanye argued Benjamin was not his employee but rather the employee of a third-party company he used to hire employees.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
