Kanye West is knee-deep in another controversy online.
This time it isn’t about his songs, Taylor Swift, or his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
But now, it’s all about his brand and how it’s creating chaos.
Milo Yiannopoulos, who is the brand manager of Kanye West’s Yeezy, fired an influencer, YesJulz.
YesJulz Vs Kanye West
Julz is a very well-known influencer, and built herself a massive fan base with her posts and creations online.
The reason she was fired was that she broke an NDA, which she had signed before working with Yeezy.
Many pages agreed to take on these tasks in the heat of the moment with hopes of actually getting into contact with Ye and directly working with him thanks to the way Julz portrayed this new “YZY army”. But we all know that it id fucking impossible for Ye (3)

Allegedly, she talked and interacted with fans of Kanye, which she was not allowed to do, and she also suggested an app for the company which was not approved by Ye.
Due to her breach of the NDA, she was fired from the company and also got charged with a hefty fine of 7.7 million dollars.

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… https://t.co/cmUWFBlTQu
Julz was not happy with this at all; she took her frustration to Twitter to ‘expose’ Kanye.
In her Twitter post, she did not address the firing but did leak the screenshots where it could be visibly seen how badly Yiannopoulos talks about Ye’s fans.

“One of the messages from Yia read, “Surely the last thing we need is bright ideas from Down Syndrome [Kanye West] megafans on social media.”
