The alleged theft

Kanye’s chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, revealed to TMZ that around 60,000 pieces of Yeezy GAP clothing, valued at approximately $1.2 million, went missing from Ye’s warehouse a few days ago. The team was shocked because they had absolutely no clue where the clothes went.

Milo Yiannopoulos said they didn’t know where the clothes went at first. But then, they saw something strange. A fan account posted about a sale happening in LA where people could buy Yeezy GAP clothes for just $20 each. That’s a steal!

Law enforcement was alerted about the alleged stolen property and dispatched officers and detectives to the Yeezy sale event. So, when the authorities showed up at the sale, they couldn’t take any clothes because Kanye hadn’t filed a police report yet! But Milo Yiannopoulos says Kanye’s team is on it. They’ve sent a cease-and-desist letter to the organizers of the sale, accusing them of doing something sneaky to get the clothes.

A billion-dollar partnership gone awry

The missing clothing added another layer of complexity to Kanye West’s tumultuous relationship with GAP. When West teamed up with GAP for the clothing line, everyone thought it would be a massive success, even predicting it could rake in a staggering $1 billion in the first year alone. But things took a sour turn.

After just two years, the partnership between West and the retail giant came to an end, with the rapper citing frustrations over a lack of control and unmet promises. “It was very frustrating. It was very disheartening because I just put in everything I had. I put all of my top relationships,” West shared.

What’s next

While Kanye West may not be the sole owner of the brand anymore, he still holds significant influence and authority over it as the primary designer and public face of the Yeezy clothing line. Therefore, his decision to file a complaint carries weight in terms of protecting the brand’s interests and reputation.

Milo Yiannopoulos is determined to get to the bottom of this mystery. He’s not sitting still. He’s already talking to the police, giving them any leads they can find. They’re like detectives in a movie, hunting down the bad guys. And they won’t stop until they’ve caught them.
