American rapper Kanye West is being sued by Jonathan Monroe, a former security guard, for allegedly failing to pay wages.
According to legal documents, West hired Monroe in August 2021 to provide security at his Malibu, California home, agreeing to pay $30 per hour. Monroe claims he worked 36-50 hours weekly but never received payment.
After expressing concerns about unpaid wages, Monroe alleges he was fired in October 2021.
The lawsuit seeks compensation for:
– Unpaid wages
– Interest on the owed amount
– Punitive damages
This development follows West’s recent sale of the Malibu mansion for $21 million, initially listed at $53 million.
Monroe’s lawsuit comes three years after his brief employment with West.
