A Los Angeles jury has found that former Kanye West rapper, Ye, must pay $140,000 to a construction manager injured while renovating the rapper's $57 million Malibu mansion in 2021. The verdict was reached after the jury found that Ye should have paid for the construction worker's medical expenses but failed to do so. However, they did not find Ye liable on Saxon's claim for wrongful termination. The damages amount is expected to increase post-trial proceedings as Ye will have to reimburse Saxon’s attorney fees. This verdict marks the first of Ye's numerous employment lawsuits to go before a jury. Saxon sued Ye in 2023, alleging he injured his back while working around the clock to fulfill the rapper’�s dream of gutting his beachside mansion.
