Kanye ‘Ye’ West trips during trial: ‘Is he asleep?’
Kanye “Ye” West had a turbulent day on the witness stand on Friday, repeatedly appearing to struggle to stay awake as he testified in the trial over the disastrous renovation of his former Malibu mansion.
According to Rolling Stone, who was present in the Los Angeles courtroom, the rapper “repeatedly yawned, closed his eyes for long stretches and at times seemed to catch his head falling forward” during his appearance in the second week of the trial.
The moment reached a peak when the lawyer representing the plaintiff reportedly turned away from the stand and mouthed “Is he asleep?”
The presiding judge also appeared to be in shock, asking them to ask the attorney to “make things a little snappier” with their questioning.
When asked about the work carried out on the property, Ye’s repeated answer was a simple “I don’t recall.”
The trial centres on a lawsuit brought by contractor Tony Saxon, who is suing Ye for unpaid wages, unsafe working conditions, and wrongful termination.
Saxon claims he was forced to live on the property, a striking four-bedroom, 4,000-square-foot estate in Malibu designed by celebrated Japanese architect Tadao Ando, as Ye attempted to transform it according to a series of unusual demands.
Those plans included making the property entirely self-sufficient and “off the grid,” and at one point replacing a staircase with a slide.
Saxon alleges he suffered an injury during the failed construction, was subsequently fired after raising safety concerns, and says Ye is liable for his medical bills.
The results of the renovation speak for themselves.
The Ando-designed property, which Ye purchased for $57 million in 2021, was stripped down to a bare “concrete shell”, left with no windows, doors, electricity, or plumbing.
He sold it at a staggering loss in 2024, offloading the estate for $21 million. The Saxon case is one of several legal matters Ye is set to face in court in the coming months.
Jennifer Aniston is sending her love to her ex-husband as he embarks on a new chapter.
The Friends alum quietly showed support for Justin Theroux after he welcomed his first child with wife Nicole Brydon Bloom, liking the couple’s baby announcement on Instagram. Also celebrating the news was Aniston’s longtime friend and Friends costar Courteney Cox.
Theroux and Bloom shared the news on April 18 with a black-and-white photo of the actor holding their newborn son. “He’s here… we are so in love,” the pair captioned the post, marking a major milestone for the couple, who tied the knot just last year.
Aniston’s subtle gesture speaks to the bond she and Theroux have maintained since their 2018 split. The former couple, who met in 2007 and later reconnected while filming Wanderlust, were married in 2015 before announcing their separation three years later.
Despite the breakup, they’ve remained close over the years, often supporting each other publicly.
Theroux himself addressed their dynamic in a past interview, saying, “She is still very dear to me,” highlighting the mutual respect that continues to define their relationship.
He further expressed his happiness when The Morning Show star went public with her relationship with Jim Curtis in 2025 by liking the couple’s Instagram post.
Cardi B nearly cancelled the final concert of her Little Miss Drama Tour.
Hours before she was supposed to take the State Farm Arena stage in Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday, April 18, the Grammy-winning rapper jumped on her Instagram Live mid-altercation with the staff.
“I’m not performing today, let me tell you why,” yells Cardi. “Because your employees are being f***ing rude for no reason. Pointing fingers for no reason. Touching people for no reason.”
“I did 35 shows and I’ve never had a problem, and we’ve been kind to everybody. So no, now I’m leaving!” the rapper says before storming out.
However, Cardi took to X shortly after to clarify that she will still be performing. “When you hold power and authority, use it with kindness and respect. Never abuse it… because not everyone will endure your arrogance in silence,” wrote Cardi. “Treat others exactly like you demand to be treated. Atlanta… I’ll see you soon.”
It still took Cardi some time to cool off after taking the stage and she vowed to never perform in the arena again. “I’m pissed off right now, I ain’t gonna lie,” she told the audience, according to fan-captured videos. “This Arena been playing a lot of games with me… Next time, I’m having my concert in a f***ing parking lot, b***h!” she joked.
