Most people would say that it’s been a terrible year for Kanye West after his persistent antisemitism and weird behaviour caused his net worth to fall by almost a billion dollars, but the man himself seems to be sticking to the story that it’s all part of the plan.

This latest story about him is a bit embarrassing though, as it’s being claimed that he hasn’t paid the rent on the offices of his Yeezy Apparel company over in Los Angeles and now owes the building landlord a whopping $63,254. For a guy like Kanye, you would expect that would be a drop in the ocean and for the problem to be resolved almost immediately, but I guess times are hard for him right now.

The building company CT Casablancas have now threatened Kanye with eviction if he doesn’t pay the full amount within 72 hours:

Within three days after service of this notice on you, you must pay the amount of said rent in full or quit said premises and deliver up possession of the same to the authorized agent for your landlord.

If you fail to pay or quit, legal proceedings will be instituted against you for possession of the premises, forfeiture of the agreement, and for monetary damages as may be allowed by law.

You are further notified that by this Notice the Landlord elects to and does hereby declare a forfeiture of said Lease if said rent is not paid in full within three (3) days.

Ouch. I suppose that’s quite a lot of money for Kanye to be defaulting on though, especially considering that he’s been paying it every month since October 2015 without any problems and he’s had almost a billion dollars wiped off his bank balance in the past couple of months. Probably a good idea for CT Casablancas to get rid.

Anyway, in case you’re wondering, the office space is 15,000 square foot that is mostly used for Kanye’s ‘design studio’, but also includes space for production facilities for his Yeezy-brand clothing line, a recording studio for his music, and design spaces. Sounds pretty decked out doesn’t it? Would be a bummer if he ended up losing it.

Thoughts and prayers. Or maybe not because he’s been kind of a prick lately.

For more of the same, remember when Kanye kidnapped Pete Davidson and slit his throat in a music video? Probably should have known something was up then.
