New reports have confirmed that Kanye West is facing a $250 million lawsuit from the George Floyd family for the false statements he made about the man’s death.

Per Pitchfork, the family is planning to sue the rapper after he questioned the cause of Floyd’s death during a recent appearance on Drink Champs. He suggested that Floyd—who was killed by Derek Chauvin—died due to fentanyl, despite the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office ruling Floyd’s death a homicide and Chauvin being convicted of murder and manslaughter.

Pitchfork adds: “Roxie Washington will be filing the lawsuit on behalf of her and George Floyd’s minor daughter Gianna. The family will be seeking at least $250 million in damages, according to attorneys from the Witherspoon Law Group and Dixon & Dixon Attorneys at Law. The attorneys have also sent a cease-and-desist letter to West, according to a press release from the legal teams.”

We can’t wait to see how this pans out.

They are wasting their time. It is suit they can win. He only expressed his opinion as a free citizen in society with freedom of speech.
