When Kanye West grabbed the mic at a Thanksgiving event serving homeless people on Los Angeles’ Skid Row two years ago, Elijah Graham was there to film it.
Now Graham, who was working as a volunteer event planner at the Los Angeles Mission at the time, is suing the “Believe What I Say” rapper for allegedly posting the video to Instagram without permission.
In a lawsuit filed in federal court in Los Angeles on Tuesday and obtained by Rolling Stone, Graham says he created the video on Nov. 24, 2021, with the hope of making money.
