George Floyd's young daughter, her mother & their legal team are preparing to wage legal war against Kanye West ... announcing they'll sue him for a quarter of a billion dollars after his recent comments on Floyd's death.
Roxie Washington, the mother of Floyd's only daughter Gianna, announced Tuesday she's hired a team of lawyers to go after Ye, his business partners & his associates for harassment, misappropriation, defamation & infliction of emotional distress. They're seeking $250 million in damages.
The family's attorneys also say they fired off a cease desist letter to Kanye over his comments about Floyd's fatal interaction with Minneapolis police.
The letter reads, in part, "Mr. Floyd’s cause of death is well-settled through evidence presented in courts of law during the criminal & civil trials that were the result of his untimely & horrific death. Nevertheless, you have maliciously made statements that are inaccurate & unfounded, causing damage to Mr. Floyd’s estate & his family."
Kanye's taken a ton of heat for comments he made on an episode of "Drink Champs," claiming George died from a fentanyl overdose & pre-existing conditions, instead of Derek Chauvin's knee on his neck.
The Floyd family says Kanye's statements are "blatantly false" and "malicious" & they say Gianna is being "retraumatized" by Kanye's comments, which they say are "creating an unsafe & unhealthy environment for her."
In the cease and desist, the family's lawyers demand Kanye remove the interview & all of his similar statements on George from the Internet & keep Floyd's name out of his mouth.
