In his original lawsuit, Monroe claimed he tried to collect the money owed to him but was given the run-around. He claimed on one occasion, Ye asked him to fill up the tank of his Lamborghini and “When I asked for cash or use of his credit card to cover the expense, [Kanye] walked away from me without a response.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

As TMZ previously reported, Kanye was ordered to pay<\/strong><\/a> another ex-employee, Tony Saxon<\/strong>, $140K in an unrelated lawsuit.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

This newest legal issue comes as London’s Wireless Festival scrapped its event<\/strong><\/a> after sponsors started pulling out<\/strong><\/a> due to Kanye being the headliner and the British government denied him entry to the UK.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
