Gap Files $2 Million Lawsuit Against Kanye West Over Failed Partnership
The fallout between Kanye West and Gap continues to escalate, with the clothing retailer now taking legal action against the rapper. In recently obtained legal documents, Gap is seeking $2 million in damages and holding Kanye and his company accountable for the predicament they find themselves in.
The lawsuit stems from a separate legal dispute between Gap and Art City Center, a company claiming ownership of a building in downtown Los Angeles that was leased to Gap for the purpose of housing Kanye's Yeezy clothing line. The contentious situation has left Gap pointing fingers at Kanye for the mess they now face.
Gap Holds Kanye West Responsible for Building Alterations, Countersues Over Lawsuit Expenses
In the ongoing legal battle between Gap and Art City Center, new details have emerged regarding unapproved alterations made to the building during Gap's collaboration with Kanye West for the Yeezy line. Art City Center, the owner of the building, is suing Gap for the costs of restoring the premises, while Gap is now attempting to shift the blame onto Kanye.
According to Gap's lawsuit, their contract with Kanye explicitly stated that Gap would not be held liable for any claims arising from such alterations. However, Gap is seeking over $2 million from Kanye, encompassing the anticipated expenses related to the Yeezy store dispute and additional funds to cover the company's legal fees.
Kanye severed ties with Gap in September, accusing the company of breaking their promises. Despite attempts to reach out to Kanye's camp, there has been no response so far. The legal battle between Gap, Art City Center, and Kanye West continues to unfold.
