So what happened between Milo Yiannopoulos and YesJulz?

Talent manager and entrepreneur YesJulz had a dramatic fallout out with team Yeezy, notably Yiannopoulos, following claims that she had several “NDA violations” by communicating with West’s fan base online, amounting to a staggering US$8 million in damages, per Complex.

Ye’s Instagram account announced that YesJulz was not going to be part of the Vultures project roll-out, writing, “All the activity on her page and with our fans in the past few days has been unauthorised.”

However, YesJulz alleged that Yiannopoulos has “access to and has been posting from Ye’s IG”, which is where the news of her firing was posted. She also received an email from Yiannopoulos that explained her charges and fines, and added, “obviously, you are fired”, per UK media.

The 1AM Media founder later responded by posting captures of conversations and emails to show her side of the story. She also addressed her time with Ye and his team in more than 50 Snapchat updates, even answering fan questions.

What else did YesJulz say?

As detailed by Complex, YesJulz claimed that she had never signed an NDA with Ye’s team and decided to speak out after keeping quiet for six days “while my name was dragged only for people to spin a false narrative about me being hungry for attention”.

Despite threats of litigation, she continued revealing confidential information regarding Vultures 1 to the public via her social media accounts and called out Yiannopoulos in a rant, showing an alleged message from him where he called Ye’s followers “down syndrome mega fans”.

She went on to call both Justin LaBoy – a social media sensation who’s become a key member of Ye’s inner circle – and Yiannopoulos “leeches”, per the same source.

She later claimed to have received a message from Yiannopoulos where he said he and Ye were “willing to meet and reconsider the next steps and your future with YZY and as a contractor” after her initial firing.

Her response was brutal: “As soon as Yeezy is free of paedophilic, sexist, homophobic racists, I will be more than happy to speak to Ye directly about being part of his team. Obviously, this means you’d need to quit or be fired.”

Although Ye’s campaign paid Yiannopoulos back on the same day, some considered his action a “serious criminal transaction”, according to Forbes. Yiannopoulos previously worked as an intern for congresswoman Greene.

He was banned from Twitter in 2016 for inciting abuse towards actor Leslie Jones with racist and sexist remarks.

In 2017, he resigned as senior editor of Breitbart News after a video was released of him saying, among other things, that he didn’t consider it “paedophilia if an adult has a sexual attraction to a 13-year-old boy who is ‘sexually mature’,” per The Guardian.

The same year, thousands protested against Yiannopoulos at the University of California Berkeley, where he was due to give a speech. According to The Guardian, Yiannopoulos’ Dangerous Faggot tour took him to various universities, where he often called students on stage or singled them out in the crowd to provoke them.

What’s going on with Ye’s upcoming Vulture instalments?

Despite the controversy between Yiannopoulos and YesJulz, the Yeezy team confirmed that two more Vulture instalments would arrive in the “near future” following the initial album. Vultures 2 was expected to be released on March 8 and the third scheduled for April 5 – but the former hasn’t yet dropped. West reportedly explained the delay in a direct message response to an Instagram fan account, saying, “We in the lab.” In other words, he and Ty Dolla Sign were still working on the project.

Per Vibe, West hinted that Vultures 2 will not be released on a streaming site and will only be available to purchase on his website.
