Kanye West is finally being active with his GAP suits. The ‘Gold Digger’ singer had a stock of cases, both personal and professional in recent times. While he went through a number of lawyers, the singer is cooperating to make his voice heard in courts. One of his latest ones is by none other than his old collaborator, GAP. The collaboration that came to a rough ending, continues to get spiral downwards.

Ye is known for being creative, something that brands appreciate, but it comes with a cost. With their deal coming to an end, GAP was left with a heavy bill for the altercations made by the artist. Now there is a battle of who is responsible for what, as the two point blame at each other.

While Ye works to gain back his billionaire status, the musician is also left to deal with the ghosts of his former collaborations. According to HipHopDx, he has hit back at GAP for trying to foot a bill on him. Since the company was sued by Art City Center, they blamed the singer for making several modifications to the rental during the term of their agreement. However, Ye has now told the court that the changes were a part of the strategic agreement with GAP.

In fact, he would not have agreed to an agreement that required no modifications of a rental. If anything, the singer explained how putting the ADA ramp improved the rental. Now, GAP had agreed to pay the rent of $104,666.67 and $8,333 for the property and parking.
