Kanye West Hashing Out Settlement With Ex-Sunday Service Performer Who Claims He Wasn’t Allowed Bathroom Breaks

In his suit, filed in 2021, Pearson claimed he was paid a flat day rate of $250, regardless of how many hours he worked. In addition, he claimed West’s staff prohibited the performers from taking a meal or restroom break and forced them to stand all day — because there weren’t enough chairs.

The complaint also claimed West failed to pay his performers for a November 2019 performance at The Hollywood Bowl. Pearson claimed the musician had violated California labor laws by not paying his employees on time or at all.
