Kanye Settles Sunday Service Choir Lawsuit


Back in 2020 Kanye West was sued by his Sunday Service mass choir for labor violations, after they accused Ye of failing to pay minimum wages and overtime [click here if you missed that].

The lawsuit has been settled...

From The Sun
KANYE West has settled his class action lawsuit for $1.35 million against 599 Sunday Service performers after a four-year court battle over mistreatment, The U.S. Sun can reveal.
The beleaguered rapper, who's facing numerous sexual harassment and employment lawsuits, will stump up the cash, along with his multiple firms.
The suit was filed back in August 2020 - and, in November last year, they agreed on a "confidential settlement."
Now that settlement figure has been revealed in the new doc filed at Los Angeles Superior Court with attorney Frank claiming that they dealt with "very difficult, arms-length negotiations".
"It was very difficult for the Parties to reach this Settlement of $1,350,000. This Settlement is the result of adversarial, non-collusive, and arms-length negotiations," the filing states.
The performers were after $10,596,557 in damages, which included $7.3 million in waiting time for unpaid wages and a $3.1 million penalty for violating the California labor code.

WOW!! This is soooo fuk'd up!!! All those hours and they still only gon end up w abt $2K . Hopefully, some will take this as a lesson to make sure you have something in writing. They were star struck & showed up every weekend like sheep. On the 3rd weekend of NO PAY, they should've showed up & refuse to play until they got paid. They had the power in numbers but not the ballz to challenge a mf.
They better ask Kirk Franklin's Family..LOL

Simps wanted to be associated with a neurotic celebrity. That's what you get. Broke ends. Now put that on your resume and see what job you'll get next.
