Kanye West's apparel brand Yeezy is suing one of its former interns for breaching a non-disclosure agreement.
Ryan Inwards, who reportedly interned for the company from February 2020 to summer 2020, allegedly shared confidential Yeezy photos on his Instagram account, according to a complaint filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday obtained by PEOPLE. The Hollywood Reporter was first to report news of the lawsuit.

The NDA that Inwards signed included a $500,000 liquidated damages provision. By signing the agreement, Inwards would have agreed not to share confidential information on social media, which Yeezy is claiming he did when he posted photos on his personal Instagram account.
The complaint claims that despite multiple cease and desist letters having been sent to Inwards, Inwards continued to "publicly post Unauthorized Materials on social media sites."
