"Kanye West formally notified Gap Inc. GPS 0.00%▲ that he is terminating his partnership with the apparel chain, moving to sever a relationship that was launched with great fanfare but has become increasingly strained.
Gap and Mr. West in 2020 announced a partnership to develop a collection of clothing under the Yeezy Gap brand. The rapper and designer has complained recently on social media about the arrangement and a similar deal he has with Adidas AG."

Ye was too optimistic with Gap. Gap was dying before Ye came there which means the management there has to be pretty incapable and s*** because they are responsible for turning a global brand like Gap into trash. No wonder they are incapable upholding agreements and promises they made to Ye prior to him joining them.
Distance between us is not like a store, this isn't a closeable gap, ayy.
“Ye will now promptly move forward to make up for lost time by opening Yeezy retail stores.”
he treating billion dollar companies like kim treats her husbands!!
this was a promising deal for like one day
the second balenciaga joined in it was ruined
W tbh
I don’t see why any brand would want to collab with Kanye again and vice versa.
I mean yeah Ofcourse “that’s Kanye West” but at the same time “that’s Kanye West” they mean 2 different things.
