Don't mess with Kanye West! The renowned rapper and fashion designer is calling out Gap for meeting behind his back and "copying" his designs.
On Tuesday, August 30, the 45-year-old took to Instagram to expose the American apparel giant's recent faulty ways.
"Gap held a meeting about me without me?" asked the "Praise Me" singer.

"This is Gap copying YGEBB," said a friend of West, to which the 45-year-old replied, "exactly."

"Gap needs to put some respect on Ye’s name," demanded one fan, while many of the comments simply expressed how much they loved the Grammy award-winning rapper.
Fellow musician Freaky P. added, "A lot of people hate greatness. That’s just how society is ... Kinda [sic] sad though. Keep winning."
This is not the first time Gap has faced negative backlash in just the last few weeks.
The Yeezy Gap collaboration — which confirmed a 10-year contract back in 2020 — sparked major controversy for selling their clothes out of trash bags in the center of their in-person store.
