Kanye West sued over alleged $7.1m unpaid fees for production company

Phantom Labs, which crafted stage sets for West's concerts, accused rapper of weaponising fame and reputation to take advantage of eager collaborators'

Kanye West has been sued by a production company alleging that he has not paid $7.1m (6m), owed for work it completed for the rapper's concert performances.

Phantom Labs, based in Los Angeles, created the stage set - dubbed The Mound - for the Free Larry Hoover benefit concert in December 2021, where West performed alongside Drake. It also worked on a concert marking the release of the album Donda 2, on West's Sunday Service gospel and prayer events, and on his cancelled 2022 Coachella performance.
