Kanye West is nowhere to be found, according to his former manager, who has been trying to locate him to serve him the legal papers. Thomas St. John is suing the musician for allegedly refusing to pay him a monthly fee as they agreed.
Kanye West's Ex-Manager Reportedly Struggling To Find Him For Weeks
St. Thomas alleged that West, who now goes by the name Ye, refused to pay him a monthly fee they agreed upon. So, he sued the Gold Digger rapper, but he couldn't find him to serve the $4.5 million lawsuit, Radar Online reported.
In the court documents obtained by the outlet, West reportedly became "heated and aggressive" during a recent meeting and stopped paying him his invoices.
"He screamed at Mr. St. John and made clear he no longer wanted to work with (St. John.) When confronted by the 18-month commitment that had just been made, Mr. West stated words to the effect of 'The 18-month term was b-----t' and 'You’re insane for even thinking I would stick to it,'" the lawsuit read.
The business manager claimed that he was in the process of obtaining West's financial records and was strategizing the best moves forward. According to him, he told the Donda artist that he needed a two-year contract.
"In addition to the economic costs and risks associated with committing to [West] as clients, [St. John] also needed assurance that [West] would not simply walk away from the business relationship. Mr. St. John, however, proposed to compromise on an agreement with a minimum term of 18 months," the court papers read.
West reportedly hired St. John in March 2022. He acted as Kim Kardashian's ex-husband's "most senior financial advisor" and CFO. The contract stated that West would pay him $300,000 "monthly retainer fee."
It remains unclear if West is hiding or why his ex-manager has a hard time finding him.
Kanye West Admits Losing Money After Adidas Ends Partnership
West admitted in a post on social media that he lost billions after Adidas decided to cut ties with him following his anti-semitic remarks. However, he insisted that his pot was a "love speech" after many called him out for hate speech.
"I LOST 2 BILLION DOLLARS IN ONE DAY AND I'M STILL ALIVE," West, who now goes by Ye, wrote. "THIS IS LOVE SPEECH. I STILL LOVE YOU. GOD STILL LOVES YOU. THE MONEY IS NOT WHO I AM. THE PEOPLE IS WHO I AM."

"Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech. Ye's recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful, and dangerous, and they violate the company's values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect, and fairness," the German company said in a statement.
"After a thorough review, the company has taken the decision to terminate the partnership with Ye immediately, end production of Yeezy branded products, and stop all payments to Ye and his companies. Adidas will stop the Adidas Yeezy business with immediate effect."
