Kanye West is going to drop his new album BULLY later this month, but it seems like he has some legal issues to resolve amid this process. Per The Los Angeles Times, a lawsuit from Ye against construction manager Tony Saxon emerged in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday (January 8).
This is over the sale of Ye’s former Malibu mansion. Specifically, the lawsuit claims Saxon and the law firm West Coast Trial Lawyers unrightfully placed a lien on the property for $1.8 million. It also alleges the perpetration of “an aggressive publicity campaign designed to pressure Ye, chill prospective transactions, and extract payment on disputed claims already being litigated in court.”
This follows Saxon’s own lawsuit against Kanye West from 2023, claiming labor law violations, unpaid wages, distressing workplace conditions, and disability discrimination. He sought to ensure compensation for his work through the lien, and the Chicago artist previously denied his claims.
