In a surprising turn of events, Kanye West‘s team has reported a significant theft from his Los Angeles warehouse, with over $1 million worth of Yeezy GAP clothing allegedly stolen. The discovery of the missing apparel, estimated to be around 60,000 pieces, has sparked a heated dispute over the possibility of its recovery.
Milo Yiannopoulos, West’s chief of staff, disclosed that the team became aware of the theft after noticing the disappearance of a vast quantity of merchandise. Adding to the mystery, a fan account of Kanye was found promoting a sale event in L.A., where the stolen Yeezy GAP clothes were reportedly being sold for $20 each on Friday.
When law enforcement was alerted and arrived at the scene, the individuals running the sale claimed to have receipts for the clothing. However, they were unable to prove that all the items for sale had been legitimately acquired, leading to a standstill as police could not confiscate the merchandise without concrete evidence of theft.
In response to the situation, Yiannopoulos firmly asserts that the clothing was stolen, as Kanye’s team has no record of such a sale and would not authorize bulk purchases of their apparel. Determined to reclaim the stolen items, West’s team plans to file a police report and has already issued a cease and desist letter to the event’s organizer, accusing them of falsifying records.
Amidst these developments, Yiannopoulos expressed confidence to TMZ that one of the culprits has been identified and assured that they would collaborate with law enforcement to provide any information that could assist in resolving the case.
The unfolding drama highlights the challenges faced in the high-stakes world of celebrity fashion and the lengths to which individuals will go to secure a piece of the lucrative market.
