YesJulz Doesn’t Believe Kanye West Is Behind $8 Million Lawsuit

by

After YesJulz was fired by Kanye West earlier this month, it was revealed that the internet personality was in for a tough legal battle. Ye took to social media to unveil a letter of intent to arbitrate for an alleged NDA violation. According to YesJulz, however, he’s not actually the one behind the lawsuit.

Shortly after news of the suit broke, YesJulz was still showing love to Ye on social media, leaving her followers confused. She decided to address the confusion, claiming that she didn’t believe Ye was suing her. “He has not told me he is suing me,” she explained. “I have not seen HIS signature on the paper. The letter of intent to arbitrate was very clearly written by Milo. Signed by Ye’s lawyer, who is also at the will of Milo. If the suit moves forward and Ye allows it to, sure i may feel different. & i’ll do what needs to be done to defend myself. I have no fear because i’ve done no wrong.”

YesJulz Claims Ye Hasn’t Told Her He’s Suing

“Until then, i have compassion and grace for Ye as i know first hand how the people around him move & i feel its only a matter of time before the truth is revealed & he realizes whats truly going on,” she also added. “I pray for his continued success & protection.” Another user then brought up the fact that Ye shared the lawsuit on his Instagram Story, which she also seemingly attributes to someone besides him. “Then why was it deleted so fast? What other posts do you see going up and down that fast? He is not the only one with access to that account,” she wrote.

While YesJulz isn’t convinced the lawsuit is coming from Ye, she seems ready and willing to fight it. What do you think of YesJulz claiming that Milo Yiannopoulos is behind her $8M lawsuit? Are you surprised? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Kanye West To Sue YesJulz For $8 Million, She Responds

by

Kanye West and his rollout for Vultures has certainly been filled with big headlines. Overall, the first Vultures came out a couple of days late, however, some fans felt it was worth the wait. Of course, the track “Carnival” ended up going number one in North America, which just goes to show that people are still listening. However, as it pertains to Vultures 2, the project has been delayed quite a bit. At first, it was supposed to drop on March 8th. Although now, it is believed that the album is only going to come out on May 3rd. In the midst of all of this, Ye is under scrutiny for the actions of his Chief Of Staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, who recently accused YesJulz of breaching her NDA.

As we reported last week, YesJulz was fired from the Yeezy team. It was said that she was having unauthorized conversations with Kanye West fan pages. This subsequently led to Milo claiming that YesJulz was on the hook for $7.7 million in unpaid fines. Overall, this was quite the number, but Julz was unbothered. On Twitter, she exposed Milo for the inappropriate language he used while describing Kanye fans. Regardless, it seems like Ye and his team are ready to pursue legal action against her. In the Instagram story below, you can see that Ye is preparing to sue her for $8 million.

As this news broke, YesJulz remained at ease. She subsequently took to Twitter and decided to lash out at Milo as opposed to Ye. “Lol FUCK MILO Try me you little bitch,” she wrote. Needless to say, she is not scared of the lawsuit right now. It has not been filed officially, which means there is a chance it won’t go through. However, if Ye and his team win, then it will serve as a warning to anyone else who may work for his company in the future.

YesJulz Called Out Kanye West Staffers ‘Who Don’t Know The Slightest Things About Culture’ In A Response To Her Firing

by

Less than a day after being fired from Kanye West’s Yeezy brand, Julieanna Goddard — aka YesJuz — has addressed her sudden removal in such a way that the brand is now apparently reconsidering terminating her contract. To make a long-ish story short, Goddard had been heavily involved in the promotion of Kanye’s Vultures trio of albums, but was accused of violating a non-disclosure agreement by holding a Twitter Spaces to get feedback from fans.

After Yeezy publicly announced her firing — in just about the least professional way possible — Goddard posted a tweet thread on Twitter addressing the firing and calling out Yeezy staff, particularly chief of staff Milo Yiannopoulos, for being unqualified for their roles in the company.

“Ye is up against the system. Having the discussion with fans in an open forum setting was unconventional, but it allowed for inclusivity & open visibility for an entire fan base to opt in, give feedback, be heard, connect with one another to combine efforts. Which is what i feel is needed for Ye to stay on top for these next two runs. I was also given specific direction to ‘rally’ the fans, let them each lead their own chapters, activate within their locations- etc. This was MY way of doing so. I am not a conventional woman & this is why i worked at the company i worked at in the first place.”

“I never wanted work done for free. I wanted to help the fans present their work to Ye so that he could hire them instead of stale ass losers who dont know the slightest thing about culture like Ben Priest & Milo Pedofilist to build his company for him. Anyone who has ever been in contact with me for as little as 5 minutes knows the last thing id ever need to steal, is an idea. I’d actually pay to have less as the amount of ideas i have overwhelm me daily.”

She also shared tweets in which she criticized the controversial Yiannopoulos (who has been accused of being, at best, a right-wing troll, and at worst, a literal Nazi) for some unseemly comments he made about Ye’s superfans, providing screenshots for evidence. You can view them here.

She also dared Yeezy to sue her, writing, “F*ck an NDA,” while defending herself from the commonly lobbed “culture vulture” accusations she’s been fielding since at least 2017. After logging off for the night, she apparently received correspondence from Yiannopolous, which she naturally screen shot and posted on Twitter for the world to see. “We are willing to meet and reconsider next steps and your future with YZY as a contractor,” he wrote. Her reply: “As soon as Yeezy is free of pedophilic, sexist, homophobic, racists, I will be more than happy to speak to Ye directly about being a part of the team. Obviously, this means you’d need to quit or be fired.”

Sheesh. When YesJulz gets one up on you, you might be cooked. Don’t clap too hard for her though. As she pointed out in her tweetstorm last night, she’s worked for Kanye since 2018 — meaning after the Trump stuff, through the antisemitism kerfuffle, while he bullied and harassed his ex-wife and her family, and through two separate stints of Yiannopoulos as “chief of staff” of Yeezy (whatever the hell that’s supposed to be). Her high horse has no shoes and it damn sure can’t run. Again, none of these people is the “good guy” here, and the best “next steps” would be for them all to quietly retire from public life and go be Walmart greeters or something.

YesJulz Exposes Milo Yiannopoulos For Saying Kanye West Fans Have Down Syndrome

by

YesJulz was thrust into the spotlight on Wednesday thanks to a letter that was sent to her by Milo Yiannopoulos. For those who may not know, Milo is the Chief of Staff over at Yeezy. Overall, he is mostly known for being a political provocateur. However, Ye now has him working for a music and streetwear empire. His involvement with Ye is truly bizarre although considering Kanye’s political affiliations, it makes sense at least a little bit. Regardless, Milo was taking aim at YesJulz, claiming that she violated her NDA, all while having unauthorized conversations with Kanye fans.

Since this termination, fans have been waiting to hear from YesJulz. After all, it was revealed that she would have to owe $7.7 million in fines. Well, on Wednesday night, YesJulz unleashed the clip on Twitter. Below, you can see that she exposed some DMs from Milo. In these messages, Milo showed contempt for Kanye fans, saying that they have “down syndrome.” “Heres what Milo, the Chief of Staff who controls who gets hired + fired & when they get paid, thinks about the very fan base that fought so hard to get Ye his first #1 in over a decade,” YesJulz wrote on X.

YesJulz Speaks Out

She subsequently said “f*ck and NDA. Sue me.” Overall, this probably isn’t the best strategy to deploy against Ye. However, there is no doubt that Milo’s comments about Kanye fans are disturbing. When you consider Milo’s political views, it shouldn’t be surprising that he sees hip-hop fans this way. Quite frankly, he shouldn’t be anywhere near the genre. That said, Kanye likes to do whatever he wants, regardless of how irrational it may be.

Why Was YesJulz Fired And ‘Fined’ $7.7 Million By Kanye West’s Yeezy?

by

Late yesterday afternoon, Kanye West publicly cut ties with party promoter and influencer Julieanna Marie Goddard, better known as YesJulz, saying she owes over $7 million to the Yeezy group for violating a non-disclosure agreement. On his Instagram Story, Kanye reportedly wrote, “We have decided to no longer have YesJulz involved in the roll out of Vultures. All the activity on her page and with our fans in the past few days has been unauthorized.”

Several Yeezy fan accounts also posted screenshots of an email purported to be from Yeezy “chief of staff” Milo Yiannopolous to Goddard. “Dear Ms. Goddard, enclosed please find a letter and statement of account from your time with Yeezy,” it reads. “Fines incurred to date as a result of your NDA violations come to $7.7m. While you were a contractor, I suspended enforcement of this debt. It now falls due. Hassan from the compliance team will reach out with information about payment. Please not that any further violations will accrue more fine. Because you are being terminated for cause but also because you forgot to sign your contract your termination is effective immediately.”

Uproxx generally doesn’t engage in schadenfreude as a rule, and we won’t do so now. But this is so messy. None of this is how a professional organization should behave and even writing this give me, as the kids would say, “the ick.” One of my very first pieces for this site was a critique of Julz for her weird cultural voyeurism and not only was she never held to account for it, the grasping, clout chasing, social climbing she did paid off in a job working for one of the biggest artists in hip-hop, who should have known better, but has been printing t-shirts that read “White Lives Matter” and putting white supremacists in charge of his hiring.

Oh, did I forget to mention Yiannopolous is a virulent, right-wing troll who has been ripped by multiple outlets for pushing hate speech? Yeah. Kanye hired him last year to replace another racist outrage peddler, Nick Fuentes, as his “campaign manager” — after previously firing him in 2022. You gotta give the sourpuss credit, though; usually, when white folks do the “my best friend is Black” thing, their Black best friend isn’t the guy who made “Jesus Walks.”

There is no real “win” here for anyone. It’s sad that Kanye has become this, it’s sad that people are still dealing with Kanye after everything he’s done to destroy his reputation, it’s sad people in hip-hop are still working with YesJulz in 2024, it’s sad that nobody at Yeezy has any concept of professionalism (and that they think this supposed “NDA” is remotely enforceable), and it’s sad that we haven’t agreed as a society to completely ostracize creeps like Yiannopoulos and Fuentes because they only pick on people who’ve historically been oppressed all along. I’m hitting “publish” and taking a very long, very hot shower. Yuck.

Kanye West Has Milo Yiannopoulos Fire YesJulz From Yeezy Team, Milo Claims She Owes $7.7 Million In Debt

by

Kanye West and Milo Yiannopoulos first teamed up with one another back in 2022. For those who have no idea who Milo is, he is a political provocateur who came to prominence in 2016. Overall, he became known for his white nationalist takes and his love for Donald Trump. Despite not being from America, he had this America-first attitude that Conservatives loved. Although he was ultimately exiled for a few years thanks to his takes on pedophilia, he reappeared next to Ye in 2022.

This coincided with Kanye’s deep dive into anti-semitism. It was all very bizarre and fans were not happy with the direction. Subsequently, Ye distanced himself from Milo and it seemed as though they were no longer working together. However, it is clear that Milo is still very much on the Yeezy payroll. We know this because, on Tuesday night, Milo wrote a letter to YesJulz in which he fired her from the Yeezy team. As Ye explained on his Instagram, the famous publicist was having unauthorized engagements with fans and brands on social media.

Kanye West Lays Down The Law

In Milo’s letter, which can be found below, he tells YesJulz that she never signed her NDA. As a result of this violation, she currently owes $7.7 million in debt to the Yeezy company. Moreover, the sign-off on the letter shows that Yiannopoulos is currently the Chief Of Staff for Yeezy. This was news to a lot of fans, and overall, some have voiced their displeasure with Milo’s continued employment. As for YesJulz, she had been a huge part of the Vultures rollout. Now, however, she will no longer be present at any events as Ye and Milo look to distance the Yeezy brand from her actions.

Majorie Taylor Greene Accused Of Funding Kanye West’s Website

by

Congresswoman Majorie Taylor Green has become one of the most visible, and controversial, figures in American politics. First elected in 2020 to represent Georgia’s 14th district, Representative Greene wasted no time in making herself known to the general public. This has rarely been for positive reasons, with Greene’s behavior and statements being a source of constant mockery. Greene was censured for comments threatening other members of Congress and supporting the January 6 insurrection. Furthermore, she has gone viral for a number of statements, including one where she made reference to “Jewish space lasers”.

However, Greene is also an incredibly influential right-wing politician. She is seen as the face of the most right-wing members of the Republican Congressional Caucus. This made her a pivotal lynchpin during the prolong Speaker of the house elections in early 2023. However, the vocal Trump support is now facing a new scandal

Greene Staffer Bought Kanye West Presidential Website Domain

In June 2022, Representative Greene hired Milo Yiannopoulos as a Congressional intern. Yiannopoulos was once one of the biggest voices in the right-wing movement but fell from grace after being successfully de-platformed from much of the mainstream internet. However, right-wing operative Laura Loomer has revealed that while interning for Greene, Yiannopoulos purchased the domain “Ye24.com” on the website hosting site, GoDaddy. Ye24.com is now the official website of Kanye West’s presidential campaign. Yiannopoulos was then reportedly reimbursed for this purchase, which totaled a little over $7000. Yiannopoulos was concurrently serving as the campaign manager for Kanye West’s 2024 election campaign at the time.

If this is true, it could be a serious breach of campaign finance law. While campaigns can donate to one another, that amount is limited to $2000 per year. If Yiannopoulos did buy the domain while registered on Greene’s staff, that would be a violation of more than three times the federal limit. Greene has denied any involvement in the incident. “Congresswoman Greene knew nothing about the gross negligence made by a vendor and is being unfairly attacked as a result,” a representative for Greene said. However, it is also worth noting that this is not coming from across the aisle. Laura Loomer is often described as “far-right” and even as a “white nationalist”. While this story is developing, it could hurt Greene both in terms of federal punishment and her standing with her pro-Trump base.

Kanye West’s Treasurer Resigns From Political Campaign

by

Kanye West’s political team is experiencing even more shake-ups. On Monday morning, his campaign committee treasurer, Patrick Krason, announced his resignation. Krason made the decision official in a letter filed to the Federal Election Commission.

“I have notified the campaign of my resignation and they have been made aware of the requirement to name a new treasurer within 10 days,” Krason said in his letter, obtained by TMZ. “I have also made them aware that they cannot raise or spend campaign funds until a new treasurer has been named. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.”

Krason’s resignation comes days after Ye fired right-wing pundit and white nationalist Nick Fuentes. In doing so, West also re-hired Milo Yiannopoulos to the team. TMZ also obtained an email Yiannopoulos sent to Fuentes confirming his termination. “As you may know, I have been in Los Angeles for the past week with Ye. discussing his presidential aspirations,” Yiannopoulos began. “The result of those discussions is that I will be taking the reins once again as director of his political operations. Your services on Ye’s exploratory team are terminated as of this letter, and will not be required for any possible future campaign. But I am writing to inform you that you may, if you choose, offer yourself to Ye as a remote unpaid advisor. This private and confidential position may not be made public.”

It was previously reported that Ye pulled out of the 2024 presidential race altogether. According to Rolling Stone, West was unhappy with infighting among the advisors during his campaign. In recent weeks, Kanye has spent time co-parenting his four children with his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. He further attended his son Saint’s latest soccer game in Tarzana over the weekend.

Kanye West Fires Nick Fuentes, Hires Milo Yiannopoulos

by

Many found it quite curious when news broke that Kanye West called off his presidential campaign for 2024. However, recent reports from TMZ indicate that he’s not done; he just needed a team change to keep things going. Moreover, the publication allegedly obtained emails from Milo Yiannopoulos, who is apparently now back in Ye’s camp as his Director of Political Operations. Furthermore, he sent an email to former associate Nick Fuentes, a right-wing pundit and white nationalist. “Your services on Ye’s exploratory team are terminated… and will not be required for any possible future campaign,” the email to Fuentes reportedly read.

Of course, the use of the word “possible” means that this presidential campaign might not work out at the end of the day. After all, this is Kanye West we’re talking about, and his moves could shift within a matter of days. Still, this is quite the big step in distancing himself from a former close collaborator. In fact, it was Fuentes who accompanied the Chicago rapper to Mar-A-Lago to speak with Donald Trump. From what these alleged emails indicate, YE2024 might be back into full gear.

Kanye West Shifts His Potential Campaign Team Around

Another associate of his to receive the boot was Ali Alexander, TMZ‘s report indicates. For those unaware, he recently apologized forcibly for soliciting inappropriate pictures from teenage boys. In addition to this, TMZ apparently spoke to Yiannopoulos, who confirmed the emails. He also added that he’s been talking to Kanye West about his plans in Los Angeles for the past week. Readers may recall that Milo was fired from the team after Ye’s inflammatory Alex Jones interview and antisemitic comments, and Yiannopoulos reportedly blamed Fuentes and Alexander.

Furthermore, the Yeezy mogul’s list of controversies is extensive and likely needs no summary at this point. As such, this campaign could either lean into those dangerous waters or attempt to course-correct, yet Ye’s team waddles more comfortably with the former option. Given his additional heap of legal issues at the moment, it’s not looking good for the “True Love” artist. What will this campaign mean for Kanye, and why did he say he’s not running anymore? Stick around on HNHH for potential answers and for the latest news and updates on Kanye West.
