College Dropout Burgers in Melbourne's north-east was embroiled in a lawsuit with rapper Ye, formerly Kanye West.

The case hit a hurdle last month when Mr Elkhouri's lawyers told the court it was unclear if Ye was interested in continuing the case. Neither Ye nor his legal team were present at the hearing on Friday.
