A jury has ordered controversial US rapper Kanye West to pay $140,000 (£104,415) after a handyman sued him over unpaid work for renovations at his Malibu mansion, BBC reported. 

The verdict in the trial in Los Angeles came after Tony Saxon claimed the rapper, also known as Ye, did not pay him properly for work at the beachside property and fired him unjustly.

The rapper's team argued in court that Saxon was an unlicensed contractor who "destroyed" the "architectural gem" while working there, according to BBC.
