KANYE West will likely spend Christmas in Japan after months away from Los Angeles, as former staffers are struggling to serve him with legal papers, The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal.
The father-of-four, who has not been pictured with his children with ex Kim Kardashian for weeks, has been holed up in a hotel in Tokyo working on his new album.

The record was supposed to be released earlier this month, but fans who have preordered the CD and vinyl are yet to receive it.
The U.S. Sun understands more than one ex-staffer is finding it hard to locate him as he remains in Japan, amid 14 ongoing lawsuits.
Sources claim they have not managed to find Kanye after he moved out of the $10,000-a-month apartment he shared with his wife, Bianca Censori, in West Hollywood.
Bianca was pictured back in Los Angeles this week alone during what appeared to be a brief visit.
Although Kanye has purchased a $35 million Beverly Hills home, they have yet to move in.
“There are cars at the Beverly Hills home, but they have not moved in and he still hasn’t been to Los Angeles.
“He has a lot of people waiting to serve him legal papers so he may stay over in Japan for Christmas, although he hasn’t seen his children for weeks.”
LOOMING LEGAL PROBLEMS
The source added: “The kids were with him in Japan in September but I don’t believe they’ve seen him since.
“He’s been locked in his hotel room mostly in Tokyo working on his album, Bully, so he may decide to continue being in the zone over Christmas and the New Year.
“If he does come home, he’ll have process servers delivering unwanted Christmas presents.”
The U.S. Sun reached out to Kanye and Bianca for comment.
Kanye’s former assistant has been granted more time to serve him with papers after filing a lawsuit accusing him of wrongful termination and sexual assault.
Lauren Pisciotta, 36, first filed the complaint back in June and later added further claims.
Pisciotta alleges she was mistreated by the star – including allegations he raped her after her drink was spiked at a party hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Kanye previously denied all her claims and slammed the lawsuit as “baseless.”
But he has still not yet hired a lawyer to file an official response, as her legal team has still not managed to serve him.
They asked for additional time during a court hearing earlier this month and the case has now been pushed to January 29.
Papers state, “Conference is continued to allow additional time to serve Defendant Kanye West and to allow time for the Yeezy
defendants to appear.”
According to In Touch, Pisciotta’s legal team claims Kanye is “either out of the country and/or evading service.”
Pisciotta’s counsel want to place an advertisement in a newspaper informing Kanye of the suit instead of personally serving him if they can’t track him down.
The former OnlyFans model was spotted in Florida as she relaxed on the beach with friends during a break from Art Basel.
Exclusive photographs obtained by The U.S. Sun showed her in a black bikini and it is understood she is now back living in the sunshine state, where she grew up.
Meanwhile, Bianca’s recent appearance in Los Angeles is the second time she has flown in solo since Kanye seemingly left California.
She was previously pictured buying dozens of home items from luxury store William Sonoma, and hanging out with friends at Disneyland during a day out.
Bianca Censori and Kanye West’s relationship
Bianca Censori was born on January 5, 1995, in Melbourne, Australia
Before her current full-time job, the 29-year-old started a jewelry company called Nylons after leaving high school.
After working as a student architect for three years, she completed a master’s degree between 2019 and 2020 ahead of moving to Los Angeles.
In a radio interview, a childhood friend of Bianca’s claimed that Kanye slid into her DMs on Instagram.
The rapper reportedly said, “Come and work for me.”
At which point she says the designer moved to LA to join his company Yeezy as the “head of architecture” – and has been since November 2020.
WEDDING BELLS
On Friday, October 6, 2023, The Daily Mail reported Kanye and Bianca wed on December 20, 2022.
The couple tied the knot under a “confidential marriage license” in the state of California.
The two wed in Palo Alto, California, according to the document.
The wedding came just one month after Kanye and Kim Kardashian finalized their divorce.
Bianca appears to be sticking by her man amid his legal battles.
He is being sued by several former employees for various resons and court papers show he has not shown up for depositions, leaving attorneys frustrated.
In one case, Kanye’s ex-security guard Benjamin Deshon Provo is suing the star for racial discrimination and unfair practices.
Provo, who worked for his Yeezy fashion brand, along with his private school, Donda Academy, first filed his suit in April.
Court documents seen by The U.S. Sun read, “Defendant Kanye West has unilaterally failed to appear for his scheduled deposition on October 28, 2024.
“It is crucial that Provo’s counsel obtain this deposition in a timely manner to ascertain all relevant, pertinent facts in this case to allow Provo to fully prosecute his claims and prepare for trial.”
Provo’s legal team is now moving for an order to compel Kanye to sit for the deposition with a hearing set for February 11 in Los Angeles.
Last Christmas, Kanye and Bianca returned to the city to spend time with his children, North, 11, Saint, nine, Chicago, six, and Pslam, five, and took them to a Lakers game.
He recently showed he still has a good relationship with them despite his constant traveling, by debuting a music video featuring North and Chicago.
