Kanye West’s team have accused resellers of stealing more than $1 million worth of his unreleased YZY clothing line and trying to sell it for $20, as Police investigate.
On March 15, SRGN Studios and Urban Necessities announced via their social media accounts that they were opening up a “first come, first serve” pop up shop for Kanye Wests’s “unreleased YZY GAP” clothing.
It was scheduled to go ahead in LA, with “over 60 thousand units” on sale, as many customers lined up to get their hands on Ye’s highly anticipated clothing line for just $20 per piece.
However, it was soon shutdown by Police after Kanye West’s team claimed that these new YZY line goods, with a worth of over $1 million, had been stolen.
