Surface Media, a Miami-based art studio, has requested an extension of 60 days and alternative service to serve Kanye West with a lawsuit that he has been evading for months.
As per court documents obtained, Kanye West, also known as Ye, has been sued by Surface Media for allegedly not paying rent for their art studio.
This is not the first time Surface Media has requested an extension; they previously did so in January. Despite their efforts, process servers have been unable to locate Kanye West since Surface Media pursued legal action against him in October 2022.

These attempts include unsuccessful delivery of legal documents at his property near Kim Kardashian’s home and a Beverly Hills hotel, as well as staking out Ye at his children’s basketball games in February.
“The moment the paparazzi recognized a vehicle, they ran towards the vehicle, and I followed,” one process server wrote. “I observed most people were teenagers, college-age and adults. After 4:00 pm the teenagers, college-age and adults emptied out of the center and parents with young children trickled in. The Defendant’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, did show up with her security but no sign of Kanye West.”
A week later, a different person tried to serve Ye at the location where his children play basketball.
“I felt comfortable enough to walk the floors and take my time looking to see if I can see Kanye West,” the second process server wrote. “As I toured around the courts, I carefully looked for our subject. I did not see him. I returned to the doors of the rear entrance and I maintained my position in that general area keeping an eye on anyone that would be entering or exiting these doors. From 3:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m., during this time, I did not see Kanye West.”
He continued, “During surveillance, when a group of children finished their training and was leaving the court, I watched for [paparazzi]. I did not see any. From 5:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m., during this time, I kept a close eye on the doors of the training center. I did not see Kanye West during this time … I left the location at 7:00 pm.”
A third process server attempted to serve Ye at the Yeezy office in February. Security informed the person the suite had been vacant since last year.
Surface Media is seeking more than $145,000 in back rent from Kanye.
