- Recently, Kanye West was hit with a lawsuit because of unpaid fashion rental fees amounting in over $400,000.
- David Casavant Archive states that Kanye has not paid for rental items that he has in his possession since 2020.
- The lawyers said, "The items are all rare, esteemed pieces valued for their scarcity and importance in fashion history."
- The lawyers continued, "They are not fungible commodities. The replacement fees reflect the loss of future rentals, loan opportunities, publicity, and the lost value to the Archive as a whole, as each lost item is part of a greater collection that derives its value from its completeness."
- The company added, "Defendants have not responded meaningfully to plaintiff’s numerous inquiries about defendants’ unpaid balance and the missing items, referring plaintiff to individuals without knowledge or authority to resolve the dispute, or advising plaintiff to send inquiries to inactive email accounts."
