Kanye West’s Yeezy faces a $150,000 lawsuit over unpaid web design fees, adding to his mounting 2026 legal and financial troubles.

AceShowbiz - Kanye West is encountering another financial obstacle as his Yeezy brand faces a lawsuit for $150,000 in unpaid web design fees.
The legal action comes from Ryanso, LLC, a web design company that claims it completed digital work for Yeezy in October 2025 but has yet to receive payment. The contract between the two parties was signed in January 2025.
According to the lawsuit, Ryanso sent a formal written demand for payment in March 2026, but after no resolution, they pursued legal measures in May 2026. The complaint alleges breach of contract and unjust enrichment, with Ryanso seeking the full amount owed plus attorney fees and other costs.
This lawsuit adds to a series of financial challenges for Kanye West in 2026. Recently, a federal jury ruled that he must pay more than $438,000 for copyright infringement related to an uncleared music sample.
In the same month, Kanye West was ordered to pay $140,000 following a judgment in a Malibu mansion renovation dispute, where contractors claimed they were not compensated for their work.
The mounting legal claims stem from the fallout of the Yeezy brand after Kanye West's antisemitic remarks led to the collapse of his lucrative Adidas partnership. Since then, the brand has struggled financially, and these ongoing lawsuits highlight persistent cash flow problems.
As more judgments accumulate, it’s clear that Kanye West and his business ventures continue to face significant financial and legal pressures throughout 2026.
