US Rapper Kanye West Ordered to Pay Handyman $140,000

A court in the United States has ordered American rapper, KANYE WEST to pay One Hundred and Forty Thousand Dollars to a handyman over unpaid work for renovations at his Malibu mansion. The verdict in the trial in Los Angeles came after TONY SAXON claimed the rapper, also known as YE, did not pay him properly for work at the beachside property and fired him unjustly. The handyman initially filed the lawsuit in 2023, alleging unsafe working conditions, unpaid wages and wrongful termination. He also sued for medical expenses after saying he injured his neck and back on the job. However, the rapper's legal team argued in court that SAXON was an unlicensed contractor who "destroyed" the "architectural gem" while working there.
