A lawsuit has been filed against Kanye West for breach of contract for $7.1 million

A production company has sued Kanye West alleging that he has failed to pay $7.1 million for work done for the rapper's concerts. For the Free Larry Hoover benefit concert in December 2021, Phantom Labs designed the stage set - which was called The Mound - on which West performed with Drake. Moreover, it was responsible for West's Sunday Service gospel and prayer events, as well as his canceled Coachella performance in 2022.

“Despite being sent multiple demand letters by Phantom, defendants have maintained their refusal to pay,” the lawsuit claims. The company said in a statement that it was extremely proud of the work we did with Ye, and was disappointed that the productive relationship had come to an end. Celebrities who misuse their fame and reputation to take advantage of eager collaborators cannot be tolerated. In response to the lawsuit, West, who is now legally known as Ye, has not responded.

West was served with a similar lawsuit earlier this month by the David Casavant Archive, alleging that he has stopped paying rent for 13 items, which are rare, esteemed pieces valued for their scarcity and importance in the history of fashion. This allegation has not been addressed by West. Marshall Jefferson, a house music star, sued West last month, alleging that he sampled Jefferson's track Move Your Body without obtaining a license. Additionally, West was sued by Texas-based Bishop David P Moten late last year over a sample that was uncleared, after fragments of a Moten sermon were used on the track Come to Life.
