Kanye West wanted to turn his Malibu home into a ‘bomb shelter’
Kanye West reportedly wanted to transform his home in Malibu, California into a ‘bomb shelter’.The news comes from a new lawsuit filed by Tony Saxon, who, as Sky News reports, claims he is owed $1million (£800,000) in unpaid wages and loss of earnings after working as a project manager, full-time security and live-in caretaker at West’s house in Malibu.Speaking to NBC – who reviewed and confirmed the contents of the lawsuit – Saxon said of the proposed renovations to the house: “We were going to be gutting all of that out and sort of building him a Bat Cave” to “hide from the Clintons in and the Kardashians in,” adding that he wanted to turn the house into a “bomb shelter from the 1910s”.He added that while he initially thought it to be an “art project”, he realised eventually that “no, he wants to live in here”.Elsewhere, Saxon said that Kanye “wanted no electricity. He only wanted plants. He only wanted candles.
