Kanye West is facing a new lawsuit that claims he wanted to turn his $57 million Malibu mansion into a windowless, plumbing- and electricity-free “bomb shelter.”
A 40-page lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court by Ye’s former project manager and property caretaker, Tony Saxon, who claims he wasn’t paid for his work on the home in the fall of 2021 and that he was fired due to a back injury.
According to Saxon, Kanye wanted to replace the home’s electricity with large generators. However, when Saxon expressed fire hazard concerns, Ye reportedly “raised his voice” and told Saxon “he would be considered an enemy if he did not comply” before ordering him to “get the hell out.”
He said, “Ye wanted no electricity. He only wanted plants, candles, battery lights; and to have everything open and dark. You can’t keep food in that house, because you had no refrigerator left. You had no windows. I had seagulls flying in.”
“He wants to be on a privatized Wi-Fi network,” Saxon said, adding, “He wants to have an alternate source of energy. He wants to have no doors, no windows, no fixtures, just concrete.”
Saxon has enlisted the same attorneys who are suing Kanye West over safety concerns at his private Christian school, Donda Academy.
