The site featured 3,639 potential customers’ email addresses and other data, which ‘disappeared’ after 50′s team was given the password.

The court heard it was ‘very valuable
information’, but when Sleek emailed the rapper’s team to discuss the issue, his business manager Nicole Martin wrote, ‘[Sleek] is onto us, LOL. They emailed and called … about the data. (sic)’

Another member of 50′s team also sent an email to a colleague, saying: ‘ Tell him something like, sorry, you just have to finish editing a video for 50 or something, we’ll get to it, LOL (sic) ’.

Court documents show Sleek sued the rapper for breaching his fiduciary duty, participating in a civil conspiracy, misappropriating trade secrets, breaching his confidentiality agreement and being unjustly enriched.

The rapper instead claimed Sleek ‘fraudulently induced’ him into entering into an investment and breaching their fiduciary duties to him

Kanye West reportedly ‘begging people to invite Kim Kardashian’ to events

Kanye West is eager for his fiancée Kim Kardashian - who is the mother of his 10-month-old daughter North West – to join him at elite parties and meetings, but people keep rejecting her.

A source told RadarOnline.com:
‘Kanye is begging people to invite Kim to events or meetings with the cream of the crop in Hollywood, but so many people are refusing.

‘He’s a serious star that people really respect, especially as a businessman, but they want nothing to do with Kim. ’

The 33-year-old reality TV star and her mother Kris Jenner were desperate to attend the Vanity Fair Oscar party last month, but they weren’t invited to the posh event.

The source explained: ‘ Kim is just not welcome at the same places Kanye is.

‘Another problem is that Kanye is pushing not only for people to accept Kim but her mother Kris too! That is definitely not going to happen. People want Kris around even less than they want Kim. ’

However, the pal insists Kanye, who managed to talk US VOGUE editor Anna Wintour into having him and Kim on the front cover of this month’s issue, shouldn’t be underestimated by his powers of persuasion.
