Kanye’s Former Bodyguard Is Now Suing Him for Nearly $1M

Kanye West’s legal troubles just got a whole lot more expensive. His former bodyguard Jonathan Monroe is taking him to court demanding nearly $1 million in unpaid wages and damages, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.

Monroe claims he was stiffed on his pay while working for the rapper, and he’s not letting it slide quietly. The lawsuit also alleges other damages beyond the wages owed — though the exact details of what else Monroe is claiming remain a bit murky right now.

This is just the latest headache in what’s become a seriously messy legal situation for Ye. The bodyguard isn’t the first person to come forward with complaints about unpaid compensation, and at this rate, it seems like the lawsuits are only going to keep piling up.
