Kanye West Sued For Allegedly Not Paying Sunday Service Cast & Crew

Kanye West is facing two class-action lawsuits and up to $30 million in damages after allegedly failing to pay up to 1,000 performers and crew members of his Sunday Service shows.

According to Page Six, the lawsuits were filed last summer in Los Angeles and are divided between performers and crew: Frank Kim is repping more than 500 performers, while attorneys Harris & Ruble are concentrating on approximately 300 crew members, the outlet reports.

The lawsuits pertain to the production of Ye's first "opera," Nebuchadnezzar, which was held at the Hollywood Bowl in November 2019, per The Sun. Kanye is being accused of violating California labor laws by not paying employees on time, or not at all, and denying overtime, meal and bathroom breaks.

Lawyers are still tracking down other alleged "victims" of Kanye’s Sunday Service shows and reportedly have "dozens of people lined up to join the lawsuit meaning the final tally will be closer to 1,000 people," a source told The Sun.

"People in the lawsuit are asking their friends who’ve worked on previous Sunday Services, and they’re jumping at the chance, they want to get involved and talk about their horrible time," the insider added. "Now it’s about proving that Kanye is the employer and the buck stops with him. Now that there’s others coming forward, then the complaint will be amended and be bigger in scope."

The source noted that "no one knows how involved Kanye himself was, if he knew what was going on, as it was all so last minute, it was terribly ran. Whether it was mismanagement, accidental, or on purpose, this is a very strong case."
