Kanye West terminated influencer Julleanna “YesJulz” Goddard from his and Ty Dolla $ign’s Vultures album trilogy rollout on Tuesday (March 12) due to NDA violations. Ye shared the news with fans via Instagram story, which wrote, “We have decided to no longer have YesJulz involved in the rollout of Vultures. All activity on her page and with our fans in the past few days has been unauthorized.”
According to an official letter by Ye’s Chief of Staff Milo Yiannopoulos, YesJulz was terminated from Yeezy and owes the company $7.7 million for violating an NDA agreement. The letter said, “Dear Julieanna, Obviously, you are fired. Yours faithfully, Milo Yiannopoulos.”
In a confidential email to YesJulz by Yiannopoulos, it reads:
“Dear Ms. Goddard, Enclosed please find a letter and statement of account from your time with Yeezy. Fines incurred to date as a result of your NBA violations come to $7.7m. While you were a contractor, I suspended enforcement of this debt. It now falls due. Hassan from the compliance team will reach out with information about payment. Please not that any further violations will accrue more fines.”
“Because you are being terminated for cause, but also because you forgot to sign your contract, your termination is effective immediately.”
Ye hired YesJulz to promote Ye’s new joint project with Ty Dolla Sign and has participated in several listening events held to support the album. Prior to termination, she posted photos of herself wearing Vultures merch.
The second installment in the Vultures series was set for March 8; however, rescheduled due to reworks.
YesJulz has not issued a public response to Ye’s termination at this time.
