Kanye West Sued by Former Security Guard

Kanye West is facing a lawsuit from former security guard Jonathan Monroe, who claims he was never paid for his work guarding West's Malibu mansion in 2021. Monroe alleges he was hired at a rate of $30 per hour and worked 36 to 50 hours weekly but was fired after complaining about unpaid wages. The lawsuit seeks unpaid wages, interest, and punitive damages, and comes three years after Monroe's termination. The timing of the lawsuit coincides with West's recent sale of the Malibu property for approximately $21 million, after significant renovations that were reportedly left incomplete. This case adds to a growing list of legal troubles for West, who has faced multiple lawsuits from former employees in recent years. Kanye West and his representatives have not publicly commented on the lawsuit.
