Kanye West’s life could be about to get much worse, and we are not talking about his impending divorce from Kim Kardashian. The rap star faces a potential $30 million lawsuit after allegations that he failed to pay staff during his Sunday Church Service shows.
A source revealed how lots of people are lining up and ready to speak out: “They’ve got hundreds of people on board already, but they’re talking to many, many others, who want to be a part of it. People are very upset how they were treated, saying it’s their worst experience. People in the lawsuit are asking their friends who’ve worked on previous Sunday Services, and they’re jumping at the chance, they want to get involved and talk about their horrible time.”
And the pressure is all on Kanye as to whether he knew what was going on. The source added: “Now it’s about proving that Kanye is the employer and the buck stops with him. Now that there’s others coming forward, then the complaint will be amended and be bigger in scope. No one knows how involved Kanye himself was, if he knew what was going on, as it was all so last minute, it was terribly ran. Whether it was mismanagement, accidental, or on purpose, this is a very strong case.”
The star is known for being impulsive, especially given how volatile his relationship was with Kim. And the same applies to his work. Another source said: “When you do things last minute, it’s disorganised, mistakes will happen. When Kanye West does a production, he just says to his guys: ‘Make it happen,’ he has different teams of people to do things, and when you’re under that amount of pressure, you cut corners.
“Anything with film or music production, they do the art first, it’s a case of ‘let’s get the production done and worry if it’s legal later. I’m pretty sure Kanye West hasn’t done anything about paying a bill in 20 years, he’d expect people to take care of it. But Kanye can’t have this go to trial, as the jury may not be Kanye fans and just see a rich rapper ripping off normal folk; he can settle for much less or be hit with a $30 million legal bill.”
