Gap Launches $2M Lawsuit VS Kanye West Over Breach of Contract Months After Deal Ended

Kanye West faces another legal battle after Gap sued him for their failed collaboration.

Gap filed a more than $2 million lawsuit against the embattled rapper after he dropped their partnership when he caused unapproved alterations to the property the company leased for his Yeezy store.

Gap Hits Kanye West With Lawsuit

According to the court documents obtained by a news outlet, Gap aims to make West and his company shoulder the bill instead, including the $2 million debt the company has for the storefront and the legal fees.

The report said Art City Center, the owner of the building in Los Angeles, had its property leased as a storefront for Gap's Yeezy line. However, it alleges in a separate filing that Gap made unapproved changes to the property before the arrival of Yeezy merch at the store.

The alterations included the installation of the tunnel in the lot, nixing three bathrooms, making an exterior ramp, building a wall, and removing ceiling lights, the lawsuit states.

"By making and not repairing or restoring the foregoing alterations of the premises that [West] made without Gap's participation or approval, [West] breached the strategic agreement and directly and proximately caused Gap to incur expenses to repair and restore the premises," part of the lawsuit reads.

A Gap spokesperson declined to comment when New York Post reached out to the company, citing pending litigation; West and his representatives, on the other hand, have not responded to the lawsuit as of press time.

Gap and West's partnership ended following the "Jesus Is King" rapper's antisemitic comments. However, the hiphop star told CNBC that their business failed because he is a "king who cannot live in someone else's castle."

Kanye West's Partnership With Adidas Junked

Recently, Adidas dealt with the potential losses due to West's unsold Yeezy products since it cut ties with him due to his controversial remarks.

Adidas CEO Bjorn Gulden released a statement confirming that the $1.3 billion worth of Yeezy products would be sold to the public, with the proceeds to be donated to anti-racism groups who have been victims of West's tirades.

The company said Anti-Defamation League and Philonise & Keeta Floyd Institute for Social Change - the organization George Floyd's brother, social justice advocate Philonise Floyd - will receive the sales of the products.
