The revelation that the criminal case against the music icon could expand came as he made his first appearance in court and a federal judge set a trial date.

The amended suit alleges Ye attacked Lauren Pisciotta in a hotel room, once drugged her at a recording studio, and used foreign work visas and product photo shoots to recruit potential sex partners.

A former employee for Kanye West has alleged the rapper drugged and sexually assaulted her in a studio session he co-hosted with Sean "Diddy" Combs.

The allegation is part of a previous wrongful termination suit against Ye. The rapper formerly known as Kanye West has been pulled into the ongoing legal drama surrounding hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs.
