Kanye West Walks Away From Gap Deal After Vowing to Drop Grudges
After weeks of criticizing Gap, it looks like Kanye West’s partnership with the clothing company is over.
Lawyers for the irascible rapper formally notified Gap on Thursday that his Yeezy LLC is terminating a collaboration announced in 2020 to build a Yeezy Gap brand. The letter claimed Gap had breached the terms of their agreement by failing to open planned retail stores or release apparel, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Fans will still be able to buy existing Yeezy Gap products from stores before the clothing company will have to stop using the brand name, according to the letter. Ye’s clothing made in collaboration with Balenciaga, which is also sold through Gap, won’t be affected.
