Kanye West ordered to pay $140K in Malibu mansion renovation lawsuit
Kanye West has been mandated by a court to pay $140,000 to a construction worker who worked on his Malibu mansion. The lawsuit was filed by the construction worker, who alleged that he was not properly compensated for the renovation work he performed on West’s property.
The worker claimed that he had not been paid for the additional work and materials he provided beyond the initially agreed-upon scope of the project. The lawsuit stated that the construction worker was owed $228,000 for the extra work, which included installing speaker systems and landscaping on the property.
The judge ruled in favor of the construction worker, ordering Kanye West to pay $60,000 for the unpaid work and an additional $80,000 in damages.
