Former business partner: ‘Kanye West is missing’

It seemed for a moment that things were calming down around Kanye West and to be honest, I thought that would be good news. Recently, the rapper was mainly in the news due to his bizarre tweets and Instagram posts, made antisemitic statements in interviews, and then Adidas ended their partnership. So when things went quiet for a while, everyone saw that as good news — until yesterday. His former business manager wants to reach Kanye West, but he has not succeeded so far. Therefore, he sought out the media, with the message that Ye is, according to him, ‘missing’.

This manager, Thomas St. John, is suing Kanye West (and his company Yeezy) for 4.5 million dollars. This amount is said to be based on payment arrears (St. John is supposed to receive money for eighteen months of work) and for this lawsuit, St. John's legal team needs to deliver papers to Ye and/or his team. However, both seem to have disappeared without a trace; they cannot find an address and are also unable to make contact.

The rumors of the disappearance came out yesterday when Daily Loud sent out a tweet stating: ‘Kanye West has reportedly been missing and unable to find [sic] for weeks according to his ex-business manager.’

According to Daily Loud, contact has been sought with Kanye West through multiple addresses, but that has not been successful. The rapper now has until March to respond to these papers and lawsuit, but so far he has not responded anywhere.
