Kanye West Countersues Ex-Business Partner Says He Took Advantage Of Him During Kim K Divorce

Kanye West says he never screwed his ex-business manager out of a payday in a new countersuit firing back with claims their arrangement came about when he was stressed out and in the middle of his divorce. docs filed by Kanye and his Yeezy brand where he claims the deal he struck with Thomas St. John isn't enforceable because he signed it without help from a lawyer when he was "sleep-deprived, stressed, anxious, and under duress. Ye says he met St. John around March 2022 and they sketched out a deal that would place him on a $300k monthly retainer. Kanye admits the two met during one of his many social media meltdowns and St. John swooped in as a respected biz manager who could steer the ship back on course. Ye admits to signing a document with St. John in May 2022 he claims he did so without the presence and counsel of his lawyers, and as was going thre divorce with Kim was taking a serious toll. Ye is also complaining about a clause in the "barebones" agreement that prevented St. John from being terminated for at least the first 18 months essentially guaranteeing his bank account stayed stacked with Ye's funds.
