Court Finds Kanye West Guilty of Non-Payment, Orders Him to Pay $300,000 to Yeezy Photographer for Non-Payment

Kanye West [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kanye-west/] has been found guilty
by the court over a suit file case. The ‘Donda’ singer, while hailed for being a
creative genius, has faced multiple cases in his career. While it is certainly
not uncommon for anyone in the entertainment industry, most of Ye’s trouble has
piled up in recent times. While such cases can go on for years, some of them
have come to a conclusion.

When Ye works on a project, it is usually carried out on a big scale involving
names and budgets. But one split up or issue can leave the high-end fees unpaid
and people upset. In the latest update, a court has come to a conclusion,
ordering the former billionaire to pay $300,000 to a photographer.


WHY HAS THE COURT ORDERED KANYE WEST TO PAY $300,000 TO HIS YEEZY PHOTOGRAPHER?

As a result of his split with several fashion houses, Ye’s finances have taken a
severe blow. The after-effect of which can be felt through the multiple cases
filed by his former employees or hiree. According to NewYorkPos
[https://nypost.com/2023/05/02/kanye-wests-yeezy-ordered-to-pay-300k-to-nyc-creative-director/]t,
a Manhattan Supreme Court Judge named Gerald Lebovits has ordered him to pay
$300,000 to Katelyn Moone. The photographer was hired by Ye for his SHDZ shoot
back in 2022.

The Brooklyn-based freelancer was supposed to be paid $100,000 for her work,
although she ended up only with $15,000. Her multiple texts to his team went
unheard and the artist choose not to be present at the court either. As per the
court papers, she maxed out on her credit bills, had unpaid rent, and went
through hardships, looking after her three children.

After missing out on the court dates, the Judge finally ruled the decision to
levy Ye with the amount. While $95,000 is the actual unpaid amount, the
remaining  $205,000 is to be paid for statutory damages.

While the SHDZ project is not infamous due to the recent legal battle, when it
was first announced, the line garnered much attention.


KATELYN MOONEY WORKED ON YE’S SHDZ LINE, WHICH GARNERED A LOT OF ATTENTION

Ye created headlines when he split with GAP and decided to launch his own
sunglasses with the SHDZ line. His aim was to release hi-fashion at affordable
prices, selling them for $20 so everyone can have access to it. His ambitious
plan got the support of former wife Kim Kardashian

daughter North West, and multiple models.

This was the project that Katelyn Moone worked on, which gave her exposure but
no money. It will be seen whether Ye actually makes the payment or not.
