Gap is suing Kanye West for allegedly causing damage to the Yeezy store in Los Angeles

Rapper Kanye West is being sued by clothing company Gap for $2 million as a result of their failed collaboration. Gap filed a claim against West and his Yeezy apparel line in a Los Angeles court last month.

The lawsuit is over damages to a rental property in Los Angeles that Gap had leased.

Earlier Gap was sued for damages by Art City Center, the company that claimed ownership of this property. Now, Gap is attempting to pass the blame onto West.

According to court records, West performed a number of unpermitted improvements to the property, including the construction of a wall, the removal of three restrooms, the construction of an outside ramp in the parking lot on the east side, and the installation of a tunnel in the lot. The lawsuit claims that these modifications were made without Gap's knowledge or consent, in violation of their strategic agreement.

Gap is demanding $2 million in compensatory damages for itself, as well as holding West accountable for any harm incurred to Art City.

West has seen a spate of setbacks, including the termination of his collaboration with Gap last autumn as a result of the rapper's repeated anti-Semitic remarks. At the time, the global apparel corporation issued a statement in which it said: "Antisemitism, racism, and hate in any form are inexcusable and not tolerated in accordance with our values."

West's controversial remarks also led to the loss of the lucrative Yeezy shoes deal with Adidas, which cost him his billionaire status. West announced the Yeezy Gap collaboration back in 2020,
