A former business partner of Kanye West's, Thomas St. John, has gone public about his inability to locate the "erratic" musician/fashion designer to serve him with a $4.5 million lawsuit.
St. John's lawsuit is against Ye and Yeezy LLC, according to court documents obtained by The Sun. Due to the failed attempts at locating Kanye, St. John's attorneys are seeking an extension till March.
The filing reads, in part: "We were advised about a new law firm for defendants, but not a specific point of contact. We subsequently learned of information in the news that the law firm identified as new counsel was not affiliated with the defendants. [...] Accordingly, we have not been able to serve defendants through their counsel. As a general matter, we have had difficulty confirming the best current address of Kanye West."
It continued, "For Mr. West, despite our diligent efforts, we were unable to ascertain his current residential address, and therefore, have not yet made attempts to serve him personally. Instead, we have attempted to service him by mail at multiple possible addresses."
Per The Sun, St. John filed the lawsuit because he claims he wasn't paid for working as Ye's senior financial advisor and Chief Financial Officer during an 18-month guaranteed work period, according to court docs. St. John's $4.5 million lawsuit for damages includes the $900K he was allegedly owed for his work and the remaining months he was guaranteed per the contract.
