A former employee of Kanye West is taking legal action to stop the rapper from using an insanity defense in their ongoing lawsuit.
Benjamin Provo, who worked at West's Donda Academy in 2021, filed court documents requesting that the judge block West from claiming he was of 'unsound mind' during the alleged discrimination.
