Almost a month after it was listed for sale, a lawyer files a lien on Kanye West’s Malibu home.
Almost a month after Kanye West put his Malibu house up for sale, a lien has been placed on it. In an attempt to guarantee that his client Tony Saxon receives the money that West is due, attorney Ron Zambrano filed the lien on the 46-year-old rapper. In a statement released on Wednesday, January 10, Zambrano stated, “We just want to make sure he has enough money to pay the more than $1 million he still owes our client before he goes completely broke.” It is no news that Kanye is facing financial difficulties.
“Under Californian law, if someone performs work on someone’s home and isn’t paid, we can place a lien on the property. If the homeowner doesn’t make an attempt to pay the debt, a judge may order the homeowner to sell the home in order to settle with the laborer.”
In September 2023, Saxon filed a lawsuit against West, alleging that the musician had been fired wrongfully, had violated various labor codes, and had discriminated against people with disabilities. The statement went on, “So in this instance, if someone wants to buy Kanye’s Malibu home, they’ll have to deal with us first.” “That sale cannot take place unless Tony receives payment.” In addition to being West’s live-in caregiver, Saxon was a contractor. He stated in the lawsuit that he was made to sleep on the floor next to exposed insulation and work sixteen hours a day. He claimed that West owed him outstanding salary totaling more than $1 million. In addition, Saxon stated that he was fired because he refused to destroy the house’s electrical system and install massive generators in its place since he thought doing so would put people in danger of fire.
