Kanye West goes silent after a case against an Australian burger shop

Kanye West is in the spotlight these days for his controversies more than his music. As per 9news, a burger shop in Melbourne named themselves College Dropout Burgers. Ye’s 2004 album was also called College Dropout. Lawyers representing the burger shop have informed the Federal Court of ending the case if the entertainer does not respond soon. Now Ye has up to the 27th of February to respond to the case. On the other hand, the shop has removed any references regarding the singer.

 

The shop had also put up murals from the rapper’s album cover and named their burgers after his song. The shop opened at Upper Heidelberg Road back, in Melbourne in 2021. Soon after, the shop owner Mark Elkhouri received a cease notice from the entertainer’s legal team. But it seems like the singer has gone silent.
