In a blow to Kanye West, the Los Angeles jury ruled against him in a case filed by a handyman over work at the rapper’s mansion in Malibu.

He has been ordered to pay $140k in medical expenses, including lost wages, to Tony Saxton, who originally filed for $1.7M in damages, accusing Ye of wrongful termination, an unsafe working environment, and unpaid wages.
