Kanye West has vehemently denied the "baseless" allegations of sexual harassment brought against him by his former Yeezy assistant, Lauren Pisciotta. In a statement released through his legal team, the rapper, known as Ye, asserted that Pisciotta had attempted to coerce him sexually in exchange for employment and other benefits, and resorted to blackmail when her advances were rejected.
