While Kanye West Deals With A New Lawsuit, 50 Cent Is Trolling Him For His Fashion Choices

Posted On : April 29, 2019

50 Cent is a certified master when it comes to roasting people online. And it doesn’t matter who you are, anyone can get the smoke because 50 is here to clown everybody relentlessly. He’s been pretty active this year as well, coming for his long-time archenemies Wendy Williams and Ja Rule. But now 50 is turning his sights upon Kanye West, whose behavior and style become more questionable with each passing day. However, aside from 50’s teasing there’s also something going on in Kanye’s life that is hardly a laughing matter and that’s a pending lawsuit Kanye’s facing regarding one of his designs.

Hot New Hip Hop reports that Kanye is in hot water with a Japanese fabric supplier named Toki Sen-I who is suing him and the Yeezy brand for non-payment. Back in 2015 Kanye and Toki-Sen I did business together when he asked them to create samples for Yeezy sneakers.

After the success of that partnership Kanye contacted them again in 2018, but unfortunately things didn’t go as well as they did the first time. Since Kanye placed a larger order Toki-Sen I required a down payment. This is when things began to go downhill.

They say Kanye never sent them the check, but because they’d done business with him before and didn’t have any problems previously, they went ahead and started production anyway.

Later, Kanye allegedly told the company that he wouldn’t be paying for the fabric that was initially ordered, so they’re suing to the tune of $624,051. In the lawsuit, the company also calls Yeezy Apparel a “shell” and a “sham” because it doesn’t have capital assets or member interest, saying that it only exists so that the rapper won’t be held personally liable.

For his part Kanye doesn’t think the lawsuit is valid and claims that Toki-Sen I never sent the product at all, which is why he never paid them.

“Plaintiff never delivered the allegedly contracted-for product, and Yeezy Apparel allegedly did not pay the full price for that undelivered product,” the paperwork says. “Despite being a basic business dispute between companies, Plaintiff needlessly inflates this case into a 4-count complaint under both tort and contract theories, baselessly including the celebrity member of Yeezy Apparel (Mr. West).”

It goes on to say, “At the outset, because Plaintiff has not clearly pleaded the terms of a contract, it is unclear which of the contractual terms alleged was purportedly breached.”
