Anti-Semitic comments have cost the artist formerly known as Kanye West a slew of his most valuable business relationships in recent days.
On top of those problems comes a lawsuit that claims West agreed to use a Miami “event space” as a recording studio for 25 days in January, ordered it cleared of any furnishings with color, then stiffed the owner of the $145,813 agreed to by one of his agents.
The space, called Surface Area, is located at 151 Northeast 41st Street in the city’s trendy Design District. A website for its owner, Surface Media LLC, describes it as a “shoppable showroom featuring hand-selected design objects and a curated art collection.”
