HOUSTON — The mother to George Floyd‘s only daughter is filing a lawsuit on her behalf against Kanye West because of the comments the rapper made on a podcast.

The artist, who now goes by “Ye,” attempted to link Floyd’s death to fentanyl during an interview on the “Drink Champs” podcast, which has been removed from the production’s platform.

The lawyers representing George Floyd’s daughter said they are not only coming after the “Flashing Lights” rapper but his business partners and associates for harassment, misappropriation, defamation and infliction of emotional distress. They are seeking $250 million in damages.
