According to a report by The Sun, Thomas St. John, who is suing West and his company Yeezy for allegedly unpaid wages, told the court that he can’t find the rapper – who was last seen in public on December 18.
The reports about this began with a tweet by the ‘Daily Loud’, in which it was written that “Kanye West is missing and his former business manager has not been able to find him for weeks.” According to the documents obtained by the news site, St. John asked the court on December 19 for an extension until the end of March to file the lawsuit.
And it’s not just Kanye, the former business manager was unable to reach the rapper’s legal team. “We were informed of a new law firm for the accused, but we did not receive a specific point of contact,” the file states. “Subsequently we learned that the law firm identified as the new consultant is not related to the defendant. Therefore, we were unable to reach the defendant through the defense attorney.”
“In general, we had difficulty confirming Kanye West’s current address,” it said. “Despite our best efforts, we have not been able to find out his current residential address, and therefore, we have not yet been able to file the claim in person. Instead, we have tried to serve him by mail at several possible addresses.”
According to St. John, he tried to reach the rapper at his California home in Hidden Hills, Malibu and Calabasas. He promised that he would continue to try to get hold of West and served him with the lawsuit documents, including by hiring “appropriate agencies” to help track him down.
In the lawsuit filed, St. John says he was not paid for an 18-month period of employment with West. However, according to the news report, he only went three months and was to be paid $300,000 for each.
In January of this year, as written in the complaint, the rapper became “hotheaded and aggressive,” and “screamed” at St. John and said he didn’t want to work with him anymore.
“When confronted about the 18-month work commitment, Mr West said ’18 months was bullshit’ and ‘you’re crazy to think I’d stick to it’.”
