Kanye West has been accused of some of the most bizarre things in the past months. When Adidas severed its tie with the rapper following his antisemitic remarks, many things about his life came to the surface. The former employees of his Yeezy brand charged the fashion and music mogul for his perilous behaviors. In fact, it did not stop with others coming forward to claim that he had harassed them mentally and emotionally when they worked under him.

Now, months after those charges, the musician has once again found himself in a new controversial lawsuit. This time Ye has come under fire for the construction of his Malibu house.

NBC News recently rolled out an exclusive report regarding the new lawsuit filed against Kanye West. It revealed the pop icon fired his project manager and property caretaker, Tony Saxon, for not adhering to his demands. He further shared how the Grammy winner wanted to make his Tadao-Ando-designed home like “a bomb shelter from the 1910s.” The lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court stated the singer wanted to eliminate windows and electricity from his Malibu home.

In fact, Ye even threatened the man that he would be “considered an enemy if he did not comply”. Not only that, Ye has only made two payments to the manager from the amount he promised. Ye hired Tony for his abode at $20,000 per week and did not receive the rest of the money for his two-month employment.

The documents of the lawsuit have also revealed that Kanye West did not treat the laborers who were constructing his Malibu residence. The employees were forced to sleep in makeshift beds on the ground without common facilities like electricity. Pictures obtained by The Mirror have shown people thin blankets and pads laid out on the floor, while food and water were also lying there open.

The plaintiff has expressed his concern for the rapper in the lawsuit for making such dangerous demands. As of now, the property is rotting with no windows and electricity supply at the place. But the rapper has continued to maintain his silence on the matter and has been traveling with his wife Bianca Censori.
