Kanye West's representative has denied claims in a lawsuit alleging that the rapper hired a 'fixer' to follow his wife Bianca Censori and investigate the Kardashian family.

The lawsuit, filed on Thursday, by a former employee of the 47-year-old rapper—who recently denied rumors of splitting from Censori, 29—alleges that West instructed him to hire private investigators to "tail" Censori during her travels abroad and made other potentially unlawful requests.

"Many of the details in his complaint are simply fantastical and false," Kanye's representative told Page Six on Friday.

The representative also stated that the lawsuit— which includes allegations of West abusing nitrous oxide— is "designed to cause embarrassment and/or capitalize on perceived problems in Ye’s marriage."

According to the lawsuit obtained by Rolling Stone, John Doe's responsibilities allegedly involved reducing West's risks and preventing negative press, which included investigations and managing nondisclosure agreements (NDAs).

John Doe further alleges that his investigations were aimed at Censori and the Kardashian family, including West’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, with private investigators reportedly following Censori at West’s request.

The 22-page lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles, states: "A particularly notable task by Ye was to have Doe hire private investigators to follow and ‘tail’ his wife, Bianca Censori, when she was traveling alone to visit family in Australia, without Ms. Censori’s knowledge."

Doe claims that in May, West began showing "erratic behavior," including spending $850,000 on a set of titanium teeth and firing a "large majority of the Yeezy leadership," including former chief of staff Milo Yiannopoulos, who has also accused West of being addicted to nitrous oxide.

The lawsuit alleges that West’s erratic behavior coincided with his use of nitrous oxide, which Doe believes "played a role in West’s decision-making at the time."

Doe's attorney Ronald Zambrano told the publication: "My client believes there is a direct correlation between the nitrous oxide and the increase in paranoia and siege mentality that ended up happening in that timeframe that Doe worked for West."

The lawsuit also claims that Doe's employment ended in mid-May after receiving a call from a Donda Academy teacher "regarding safety concerns they had about some of the students."
