Kanye West faces lawsuit from security guard over unpaid wages in Malibu renovation project

Kanye West is facing a lawsuit from security guard Jonathan Monroe, who claims he was not paid for his work at West's Malibu home renovation project. Monroe alleges he worked 36-50 hours weekly at a promised rate of $30 per hour but was fired after requesting payment. The lawsuit comes three years after Monroe's employment ended in October 2021. He is seeking unpaid wages, interest, and punitive damages. This legal action adds to West's ongoing issues related to the troubled renovation of the Malibu property. West recently sold the Malibu mansion for around $21 million after significant price cuts. The home, which West purchased for $57 million, was left in a gutted state with no windows or plumbing during the renovation process.
