Kanye West has been dealing with plenty of lawsuits as of late. Overall, much of this has to do with his business dealing with Yeezy and Gap. Although Ye believes he is the right on many of these occasions, there are others who feel as though he took advantage financially. Moreover, with the way he left some of his business partners, it should come as no surprise that these kinds of lawsuits would take place. Needless to say, it is a very busy time for Kanye West right now, and not for the best of reasons. It is sad for him, but ultimately, a true assessment of his predicament.
According to TMZ, Kanye West is now being sued by a woman by the name of Nichol Lechmanik. For those of you who may not know the story, Lechmani is a paparazzo that had a confrontation with Ye back in January. Ultimately, it all started as Paps followed Kanye and Bianca Censori following a basketball game. Kanye was upset with this and decided to confront some of the photographers. Lechmanik subsequently had her phone taken out of her hands and thrown into oncoming traffic. Much of the confrontation was caught on camera.

Now, Lechmanik is looking for damages as she alleges to be traumatized from the incident. Furthermore, she said that the incident also affected her livelihood in a significant way. Although there was a criminal investigation into Ye previously, no charges came about. That said, Lechmanik is looking for money as she sues for battery and negligence. Additionally, it seems like she wants the judge to make sure Kanye never treats the paparazzi like this again. However, that ask seems to be a bit of a stretch.
Either way, this is not a good look for Kanye West right now. He is already dealing with quite a few issues, and this is yet another on his list. Only time will tell whether or not the judge rules in his favor on this. Let us know what you think, in the comments section below.
