Kanye West

Ye was certainly successful in having <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/452459-kanye-west-returns-to-twitter-2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">one of the most controversial years</a> in 2022. As his name was all over headlines for all of the <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/608158-kanye-west-tells-jewish-people-to-forgive-hitler" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wrong reasons</a>, he consistently kept digging himself <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/444581-kanye-west-allegedly-wanted-to-name-ye-album-hitler" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">deeper into trouble</a>. 



Just a few weeks ago, his former business manager, Thomas St. John claimed that the <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/177828-kanye-west-performs-jesus-walks-and-lift-off-for-sunday-service-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&#8220;Jesus Walks&#8221;</a> rapper <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/614965-kanye-wests-ex-associate-claims-he-is-missing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">was missing</a>. Even with these claims, the 45-year-old still managed to make headlines. Now, St. John is requesting more time to find him, despite a couple of recent public spottings.

According to new reports from RadarOnline, the businessman is asking the court for three months to get ahold of the Chicago native. He wants to find him in order to hit him with a lawsuit. 



This is obviously confusing considering that just two days ago, the disgraced artist was seen out with a <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/618935-kanye-west-spotted-with-mystery-woman-amid-missing-rumors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">mystery woman</a>. On Sunday (January 8), photos from <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/440253-van-lathan-claims-kanye-west-said-i-love-hitler-at-tmz" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TMZ</a> began circulating online of Ye driving around <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/400285-kanye-west-spotted-in-beverly-hills-after-canceling-coachella-set-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Beverly Hills</a> in his <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/433452-kanye-west-gifts-asap-bari-a-maybach-truck-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Maybach</a> with her.

St. John alleges that he disappeared following his frightening string of hurtful, <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/609444-kanye-west-named-antisemite-of-the-year-by-watchdog-org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">anti-semitic comments</a>. The rapper&#8217;s ex-associate is <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/444822-yes-former-business-manager-sues-him-claims-rapper-called-their-contract-bullshit" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">suing him for $4.5 million</a> in damages. This reportedly comes after the father of four is responsible for ending their partnership abruptly. St. John claims that the <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/74607-on-graduation-kanye-west-reached-for-the-stars-fell-and-landed-on-the-clouds-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Graduation</a> rapper agreed to paying him $300,000 a month for his roles as business manager and Chief Marketing Officer of <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/430725-kanye-west-looks-to-take-donda-sports-to-the-next-level-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Donda</a>. 



Additionally, he says that they had an agreed-upon 18-month contract. However, St. John claims he only saw payments for three months. After this, Ye began refusing to pay the remaining balance.
