How did Kanye West respond to the allegations made against him?
Kanye West and his team were swift in their response to the various allegations made by the rapper’s former assistant. The Stronger singer threatened to counter-sue Lauren Pisciotta and even alleged that it was Pisciotta who tried to coerce and manipulate him and when that didn’t work resorted to blackmail.
The Gold Digger singer’s team has also claimed that Pisciotta had also used coercion to ask for expensive gifts like a Lamborghini, luxury bags, and even Plastic Surgery. The documents for these expenses are also reportedly with Kanye West’s team to be shown in court.
Kanye West’s legal team has also claimed that Pisciotta has made repeated demands of a compensation of $50 million to $60 million.
