The mother of George Floyd's daughter plans to file a $250 million lawsuit against Kanye West over his recent statements about Floyd's death. The rapper, who goes by Ye, falsely claimed on #DrinkingChamps podcast that Floyd died from fentanyl, not as the result of police brutality.
"Kanye's comments are a repugnant attempt to discount George Floyd's life and to profit from his inhumane death," attorney Pat D. Dixon III told Complex in a statement on Tuesday, adding that the goal with the lawsuit is to "hold Mr. West accountable" for his "flagrant remarks."
The lawsuit will go after West's "business partners" and "associates" as the comments caused "harassment, misappropriation, defamation, and infliction of emotional distress."
Roxie Washington, acting on behalf of her and Floyd's only child, Gianna, retained the Witherspoon Law Group and Dixon & Dixon Attorneys at Law. They also fired off a cease and desist to West.
