In Michael’s 2021 federal lawsuit, he asserted receiving a fixed daily rate of $250, irrespective of the hours put in as a Sunday Service performer.

Moreover, he claimed that Kanye prohibited staff from taking meal or restroom breaks, and ordered them to stand throughout performances as he cited a November 2019 Hollywood Bowl event, for violation of California labor laws.

The defendant’s counsel sought the lawsuit’s dismissal by arguing that Michael was employed by a third-party entity.
