In a since-deleted Instagram post, West criticized the mother of Floyd's daughter, Roxie Washington, for suing him after he made false statements about Floyd's cause of death.
African American man who was a victim of police violence in the United States, killed by Derek ChauvinKanye "Ye" West attacked the family of George Floyd on Sunday shortly after saying he wanted to "apologize" for false statements he has made about Floyd's death.
However, West drew sharp criticism this month for falsely claiming on an episode of the "Drink Champs" podcast that Floyd's death was fentanyl-related and that Chauvin's "knee wasn’t even on his neck like that.” Washington is now planning to sue West for harassment, misappropriation, defamation and infliction of emotional distress, according to an Oct. 18 press release from her legal team.
"I gave 2 million dollars out of my pocket for the family. To help George’s daughter…Your daughter! ... Many gave words. I ACTED. Now because of words you want to sue me for 250 million dollars ... when I’m going through an Economic lynching. A Digital Lynching. A Social Credit Score bankrupting."
