- The lawsuit, filed by Benjamin Provo, alleges discrimination during his time as a security guard at the Donda Academy.
- West's legal team claims the plaintiff and his lawyer have been uncooperative during depositions and document discovery, causing delays in trial preparation.
- West is scheduled to perform concerts in Russia around the trial date, but the original venue in St. Petersburg withdrew, and a new venue has not yet been secured.
