Kanye West Sued For $2M By Gap Over Alleged Breach Of Contract
Kanye West is facing a lawsuit from his former partner company, The Gap.
According to RadarOnline, Kanye West, 45, is being sued by The Gap for $2 million in compensatory damages. The clothing company is accusing the former billionaire of allegedly breaching their contract.
The lawsuit against Kanye West comes after a commercial company named Art City Center sued The Gap. Reportedly, The Gap made a one-year lease with the company which prohibited the retailer from making any changes to the Los Angeles-based building without approval.
However, according to the suit, Gap “completed numerous, significant, unapproved modifications” to the property and it has not been repaired to its original condition.
Gap has since denied the claims in response to the suit by Art City. In fact, last month, Gap filed a countersuit against West’s clothing line, Yeezy, and the entertainer personally. Gap reportedly began its partnership with West in June 2020.
Gap alleged its contract with the “Donda Chant” rapper had specific provisions, noting Gap would not be held responsible for any claims brought due to West’s acts. The clothing retailer said West made various alterations to the building at the premises without Gap’s approval.
Gap’s suit read:
“The performance of the work not only breached the Strategic Agreement, but the manner of preparing for and performing the work caused the need for the repairs and restoration alleged in the complaint.”
The suit also said:
“by making and not repairing or restoring the foregoing alterations of the Premises that [Kanye] made without Gap’s participation or approval, [Kanye] breached the Strategic Agreement and directly and proximately caused Gap to incur expenses to repair and restore the premises.”
Gap reportedly wants West to be held liable for all damages owed to Art City.
