George Floyd's Family Considering 'Defamation Lawsuit' Against Ye For False Statements - TheTealMango

Kanye isn’t sparing the dead too for his constant “bullying” games. On his recent appearance on the Drink Champs podcast, the 45-year-old rapper not only called out Kris Jenner for sleeping with Drake but also dragged down the deceased, George Floyd, who was brutally murdered by a police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Kanye made false claims about the manner of Floyd’s death and stated that he died from at Floyd died from fentanyl abuse, and wasn’t killed by a police officer. Now, George Floyd’s family is considering a defamation lawsuit against Ye for such hurtful statements about the deceased.

George Floyd’s family has strongly responded back to what Kanye spoke on the Drink Champs podcast about the deceased.

George Floyd’s family is considering filing a defamation suit against the rapper and responded to the false claims via their civil rights attorney Lee Merritt. “While one cannot defame the dead, the family of #GeorgeFloyd is considering suit for Kanye’s false statements about the manner of his death,” Lee wrote on Twitter on Sunday (Oct. 16).
