Kanye West is being taken to court by a former employee who's claiming Ye openly had some bizarre plans for kids attending his Donda academy ... and openly espoused antisemitic rhetoric at the school.

Trevor Phillips just filed suit against KW ... saying he was brought on to the Yeezy org in late 2022 -- right around the time Ye's antisemitism controversy reached its peak -- and explains he was tasked with growing the cotton production for Kanye's fashion line.

However, according to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Phillips claims his duties quickly expanded and started to encompass handling Ye's Donda Academy school as well, which he says started to experience difficulty as a result of Kanye's public rants.

Los fans de Cher estaban encantados en los premios iHeartRadio el lunes por la noche, antes de que Jennifer Hudson opacara a la artista en una de sus canciones más famosas.

Cher estaba recogiendo el premio Icon, un gran honor, y antes de aceptarlo, subió al escenario con J-Hud para interpretar "Believe", el que tenía matices de similitud con otro dúo icónico, el dueto de Barbra Streisand y Donna Summer en "Enough is Enough", donde las dos luchaban por alcanzar la voz superior.

La canción salió genial, pero al final, Jennifer lanzó una enorme nota alta para terminar la canción. Algunos de los fans de Cher pensaron que se había pasado de la raya. Un usuario dijo: "En serio, cálmate Jennifer, ¿por qué intentas eclipsar a Cher?".

¿Y dónde está Pat?  Bueno, la broma no duró mucho, porque después de la primera vuelta, Jared se fue y Pat regresó al asiento del conductor.

Beyoncé y Taylor Swift fueron las principales atracciones de los premios iHeartRadio Music Awards el lunes por la noche, y las dos superestrellas se fueron con más de una estatuilla.

A diferencia de Taylor, Bey apareció en el evento repleto de estrellas que se realizó en el Dolby Theater de Los Ángeles, mostrando su nuevo estilo vaquero, vestida toda de cuero tras el lanzamiento de su muy popular álbum de música country "Cowboy Carter" el viernes pasado. Taylor llegó más tarde y habló a través de un mensaje de video.

Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo sold millions of records together as The Neptunes but the two Virginia-made hitmakers are currently entangled in a legal war over use of the group's name.

Recently uncovered court docs show Chad opposing a trademark filing of Pharrell's company PW IP Holdings to lock up the rights to "The Neptunes" for music videos and other downloadable entertainment.

Pharrell's reps told Billboard he was simply going out of his way to ensure no outsiders got hold of the Neptunes' name, but Hugo’s attorney Kenneth D. Freundlich went as far as to declare Pharrell committed fraud by leaving his client's name off the filing ... without any input from Chad.

El cantante publicó imágenes que muestran el proceso detrás de escenas, y como se puede ver, hay un montón de cicatrices, sangrado e hinchazón a través de 7 sesiones intensas en el transcurso de 2 semanas.
