Kanye West Settles Donda Academy Lawsuit

Ye settles the case just weeks before the trial was set to begin...

From People
Kanye West has settled a wrongful termination and unpaid wages lawsuit against his now-shuttered Donda Academy, just weeks before the case brought forth by several former teachers was set to go to trial.
According to Los Angeles Superior Court documents obtained by PEOPLE, the rapper, listed as defendant Donda Academy, Incorporated, et al., agreed to a conditional settlement with plaintiff Cecilia Hailey, et al.
West, 47, must complete his end of the settlement within 45 days. The plaintiffs will then request a dismissal of the case to the LA Superior Court.
Attorneys for the rapper did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.
The lawsuit was filed in April 2023 by Cecilia Hailey and her daughter Chekarey Byers, who were both fired as teachers at the private school West named after his late mother Donda. Timanii Meeks, a third Donda Academy teacher, joined the case on June 1, 2023 after Hailey and Byers' initial filing, per Rolling Stone.
