Kanye West has been receiving treatment at a luxury retreat in Spain, where they treat everything from depression and PTSD, along with offer drug detoxes, In Touch can exclusively report.
In Touch obtained the note written by his doctor on Monday, May 19.
The note, which was submitted as part of the entertainer’s court battle with an ex-employee over alleged discrimination, suggested Ye, 47, be deposed virtually.
Earlier this year, Ye was ordered to be deposed in-person as part of the lawsuit filed by Benjamin Provo in-person.

As In Touch first reported earlier this week, the rapper’s lawyer claimed Ye was ready and willing to appear at his deposition but needed it to be virtual.
His lawyer explained Ye was receiving treatment at a retreat in Spain and his doctor had advised him to continue treatment.
Ye’s team claimed Benjamin’s team refused to move forward with the deposition unless Ye appeared in-person. Now, in new court documents obtained by In Touch, Benjamin slammed Ye and his legal team.
He claimed to have learned about Ye being in Spain for the first time on May 16. He said Ye’s team told him the rapper was at a retreat to “aid his mental health.”
Benjamin said he was sent a letter from Ye’s lawyer that was from the retreat Ye is at in Spain.

The CEO of the retreat suggested the deposition take place remotely. “To avoid change in treatment schedule, we strongly advise him against travel until his upcoming shows in Korea,” the CEO wrote.
He also confirmed Ye and Bianca, 30, were “currently under treatment” as of May 15.
Ye’s doctor’s note, obtained by In Touch, read, “I am writing to you today as Ye’s primary physician located in Los Angeles, California.”
He added, “Patient is currently under my medical care, and has been my patient for the past nine years. As his primary physician, I strongly recommend against his travel from his current medical treatment retreat in [Spain] to Los Angeles, USA until his treatment schedule is completed at the end of May.”
The doctor ended, “I recommend that any accommodations be made that can be facilitated for his deposition so as to not interrupt his necessary medical treatment schedule.”
Benjamin’s lawyer noted, “Counsel for [Ye] contends that Ye has been in Spain since April. A fact that was not raised during [back on] April 30, 2025, wherein, counsel for [Ye] indicated that Ye would be produced for his in-person deposition without issue if granted ex parte relied.”
“Most troubling, is that despite the purported inability to travel for his deposition, pictures purporting to be taken of Ye on May 20, show Ye shopping with his wife in Spain,” Benjamin’s motion added.
He attached photos that showed Ye and Bianca “taking a stroll while enjoying an afternoon of high fashion shopping in Spain.”
He alleged the “real reason” Ye moved to have his deposition taken in person is the result of “Ye’s well-documented misconduct and disregard for Court’s and counsel for parties seeking to complete a meaningful deposition remotely. This includes wearing masks, mocking counsel and getting up and walking away from his computer.”
Benjamin’s lawyer argued, “This Court Ordered counsel for Ye, and counsel for Ye agreed to produce his client in person. In light of these facts, there is no reason Ye or his counsel should coerce the Court to modify its order and require [Benjamin] to proceed with Ye’s deposition via alternative means.”

A judge has yet to rule on the matter.
As In Touch first reported, Benjamin accused Ye and his companies of wrongful termination and discrimination after he was hired in 2021 to work for Ye.
He said he quickly noticed the entertainer treated his non-Black employees better than his Black employees.
The suit alleged, “While Kanye was polite and attentive to his non-Black counterparts, Kanye was always abrupt, abrasive and demeaning of [Benjamin] and his Black counterparts.”
In court documents, Benjamin claimed he was pressured to cut off his dreadlocks, which he wears for his Muslim faith. He said he refused, which led to his termination.
The controversial musician denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
His lawyer argued, “Defendants are informed and believe, and based on such information and belief allege that Defendants were justified in doing any and/or all of the acts alleged in the Complaint.”
The case is ongoing.
