Kanye West, also known as Ye, has been ordered by a Los Angeles jury to pay $140,000 in his Malibu mansion trial.
Ye will pay the amount to a handyman who claimed the Grammy winner did not fully compensate him for renovations made to his Malibu mansion.
Tony Saxon filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court in September of 2023 and claimed Ye agreed to pay him $20,000 per week under a 2021 deal, but only made one $20,000 payment and $100,000 for construction costs.
Saxon's attorneys had asked for $1.7 million.
The jury awarded Saxon "$100,000 for past and future medical expenses and $40,000 for past pain and suffering."
Saxon testified to the court that West said he could not leave the property and, on one occasion, woke him up at 3 am local time to ask why he wasn't working.
The jury was shown a photo of a small mattress on a concrete floor that Saxon claimed he slept on while working at the property in Malibu, which West had purchased in 2021 for $57 million.
