Internet trolls Kanye West after his team claims more than $1M worth of Yeezy clothing is stolen
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kanye West's fashion empire has found itself entangled in a bizarre saga involving an alleged multi-million-dollar heist and an unauthorized sale of his coveted Yeezy apparel.
In a shocking claim, the rapper's team has accused unknown individuals of stealing a staggering $1.2 million worth of Yeezy clothing from a Los Angeles warehouse. The purported theft came to light when a West fan account advertised a suspicious sale, offering Yeezy items at a fraction of their retail price, per TMZ.
As West's team scrambles to recover the allegedly stolen goods, the incident has ignited a firestorm of internet trolling and added to the mounting controversies surrounding the musician's tumultuous brand disputes.
Missing Yeezy inventory comprises approximately 60,000 pieces of apparel
The missing inventory, comprising approximately 60,000 pieces of apparel, was discovered when a West fan account advertised a suspicious sale offering Yeezy GAP items, typically priced over $100, for a mere $20.
According to Milo Yiannopoulos, Ye's chief of staff, the clothing being sold by the fan account was undoubtedly stolen, as the Yeezy team had no record of such a massive bulk sale. "We would never let someone purchase such a large order of clothing in bulk," Yiannopoulos stated emphatically. "We will do whatever it takes to get the stolen goods back."
Kanye West's team identified alleged theft and located stolen items
While West's team has identified the alleged theft and located the purportedly stolen items, retrieving them might prove challenging. The organizers of the unauthorized sale claim to have legally obtained the Yeezy goods, presenting receipts for a portion, though not all, of the clothing under scrutiny.
Law enforcement sources revealed that officers were dispatched to the bargain Yeezy sale, but West had yet to file a police report, preventing them from seizing the merchandise, even if they suspected it was stolen. Consequently, the pop-up sale was shut down shortly after it commenced.
Despite this setback, Yiannopoulos remained resolute, disclosing that Yeezy had taken action by sending a seize letter to the organizers. In the letter, they accused the organizers of falsifying records in an attempt to persuade authorities of the legality of their acquisition of the goods.
Internet trolls Kanye West upon learning of Yeezy theft fiasco
As news of the Yeezy theft fiasco spread, the internet wasted no time in trolling West. One Facebook user humorously quipped, "I'll be checking the flea markets this weekend." Another cynically remarked, "Trust me...they weren't worth stealing. Unsellable for sure... He probably left them on the floor in a pile somewhere....."
Amidst the online banter, a third user simply stated, "Garbage." Meanwhile, another individual speculated, "Maybe his wife stole it? She needs clothes." A fifth user chimed in, declaring, "This dude's Karma is shot!" Lastly, a sixth user pondered, "So one full wardrobe?"
