Kanye West accused of not paying security guard for doomed Malibu construction project in lawsuit


Jonathan Monroe said West, 47, told him he would pay him a $30 hourly wage to provide security at a Malibu, California home he tried to renovate.

Monroe said in legal docs that he racked up between 36-50 hours weekly working for the Grammy-winning artist, whose career has dipped amid a torrent of anti-Semitic remarks he's made since the fall of 2022 . In Saxon's lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, he stated that he was hired for the project in September 2021, and worked 16-hour days on the beach house. In the lawsuit, Saxon said the rapper's vision for the home was to make something like 'a bomb shelter from the 1910s', according to NBC News, and demolish the marble bathrooms, as well as remove the windows, plumbing and electricity.
