American rapper Kanye West’s team has reported a significant loss of merchandise from their Los Angeles warehouse.

An estimated 60,000 pieces of Yeezy Gap clothing, valued at over $1 million, have mysteriously disappeared. The team is uncertain whether the items were stolen.

Milo Yiannopolous, Kanye West’s chief of staff informed TMZ that they discovered a Kanye fan account promoting an event where attendees could purchase items from the missing range for a flat rate of $20.

Upon learning of the alleged sale, law enforcement promptly dispatched officers to the location. The event organizers claimed to possess receipts for the items but were unable to verify that each item had a corresponding purchase receipt.

Despite the suspicious circumstances, police took no action, citing the absence of a formal complaint.

Yiannopolous expressed his belief that the clothing was stolen, as they have no record of the items being sold and do not engage in bulk sales. He also claimed to have identified one of the individuals involved in acquiring the clothing.

Kanye West’s team has since issued a cease and desist order to the event organizers, vowing to recover the clothing at all costs. They accuse the organizers of forging sale receipts in the cease and desist letter.
