Kanye West's chief of staff sacked a promoter after they racked up more than £5.4million ($7million) in "NDA violations".

Now social media and talent manager YesJulz has hit back at her dramatic firing, saying "f**k an NDA, sue me". She was let go by Ye's controversial chief of staff Milo Yiannopoulos, a British personality who's known for his far-right political commentary.

YesJulz had been working with Kanye to promote his new Vultures album, using social media and fan pages as a way to drum up excitement, a path Milo appeared to disagree with. Taking everything public, she's now shared everything out in the open, posting screenshots and conversations all over X, formally Twitter, in a furious online rant.

An email sent to YesJulz from Milo read, "Enclosed please find a letter and statement of account from your time with Yeezy. Fines incurred to date as a result of your NDA violations come to $7.7million. It adds that someone from Ye's compliance team will "reach out with information about payment" and that she could still land "more fines".

The attached letter simply reads, "obviously, you are fired." Venting her frustrations on X, YesJulz appeared to still back Kanye, saying: "Ye is up against the system. Having the discussion with fans in an open forum setting was unconventional, but it allowed for inclusivity and open visibility for an entire fan base to opt in, give feedback, be heard, [and] connect with one another to combine efforts."

She added: "[That’s] what I feel is needed for Ye to stay on top for these next two runs. I was also given specific direction to ‘rally’ the fans, let them each lead their own chapters, activate within their locations, etc. This was MY way of doing so."

"I am not a conventional woman and this is why I worked at the company I worked at in the first place," she explained before sharing messages allegedly sent from Yiannopoulos, in which Ye's followers are called "Down syndrome megafans" and that they had "developmental disorders".

Asked by a fan if she had plans to pay the $7million fine, YesJulz replied; "F**k an NDA. Sue me." She later shared another email allegedly sent by Milo which reads, "Ye and I have been listening to your current Twitter Spaces. We are willing to meet and reconsider [the] next steps and your future with YZY and as a contractor."

She responded: "As soon as Yeezy is free of pedophilic, sexist, homophobic racists, I will be more than happy to speak to Ye directly about being a part of the team."

The Mirror has contacted Kanye's representatives for comment.
