Kanye West Is Being Sued By The Contractor Who Was Remodeling His Malibu Home And The Allegations Are WILD
Source - Kanye West had the project manager overseeing the remodel of his Malibu home sleeping on the floor, and fired the guy over a disagreement about removing all the home's windows and electricity ... this according to a new lawsuit.
Ye is being sued by a man named Tony Saxon, who claims Yeezy hired him back in September 2021 as project manager, caretaker and 24/7 security for the mogul's Malibu property.
According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Saxon claims he was working 16-hour days and sleeping on the floor while coordinating Kanye's remodel ... and he says Ye couldn't care less that he was literally using a coat as makeshift bedding.
In the docs, Saxon says Kanye ignored all of his concerns and only paid him for one week of work until things reached a head in November 2021 when Saxon claims Ye demanded Saxon remove all the home's windows and electricity.

Saxon says he "expressed concerns about the extreme danger of such actions" ... but he claims Kanye raised his voice and then insisted on moving large generators inside the house, which Saxon worried would potentially lead to a fire hazard.
The guy's suing Kanye for various labor code violations ... and he's going after Yeezy for unpaid wages, plus damages.
Listen, I'm not here to victim shame. I'm sure that man went through hell working for Kanye. And not just any Kanye, peak Kanye. 2021 was the year the wheels started to fall off for old Ye. Anyone within his realm was sucked into the craziness. Kim left him, he was spending money like a mad man, and whatever underlying mental problems he had came to the forefront. The world knew that Kanye was going through it. Which brings me to my point...Tony Saxon is not a victim, he's an idiot. Call me crazy, but if a guy asks you to remove all the windows on his beachfront property maybe that's a warning sign you shouldn't go into business with him. Maybe you should run the other way, not cozy up on a coat-bed to spend the night.
By the way here's the house he was working on...
Tony Saxon is acting like he had no idea what he was getting into. Like he didn't have the ability to get up and walk away. Don't get me wrong I understand that the allure of working for a megastar can be intoxicating, but at some point you have to take the blinders off and look around.
Saxon also claimed that Kanye threatened him with his "friendship"...
In the suit, Saxon claims Kanye threatened him and said he would be considered "an enemy" if he didn't comply with the demands. Saxon says he wouldn't budge and Kanye told him to "get the hell out."
Saxon also says Ye told him, "If you don't do what I say, you're not going to work for me, I'm not gonna be your friend anymore and you'll just see me on TV." He says he told Ye he didn't watch TV and was fired on the spot.
Which is hilarious, but that's neither here nor there. Kanye will settle because he can and Tony will walk out of there with a couple hundred thousand bucks. A small price to pay for a few nights in an oceanfront dream home. That's it for this one. Thanks for reading.
