Kanye West is starting another feud — this time with Gap.
West is slamming the clothing retailer, claiming they leave him out of meetings and are copying his designs from the Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga collection.
“Gap held a meeting about me without me?” Ye wrote in a caption for an image posted on Instagram Tuesday.
The 45-year-old rapper then followed up with his hostility toward the retail giant in a new Instagram post on Wednesday, sharing a screenshot of direct messages with someone accusing Gap of copying his collection on a standard shirt.
In the same post, he told his followers that Gap canceled a photo shoot with his kids.
“But they canceled the photo shoot with my kids in Japan without me knowing,” the caption read.

While the Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga collection has been successful, selling out at multiple locations, it hasn’t come without controversy.
His new collection is being displayed in large black bags that resemble trash bags, saying he was inspired by the “homeless.”
Ye refused to apologize for the display, saying it “is not just a celebrity collaboration … this is my life.”
“I’m an innovator, and I’m not here to sit up and apologize for my ideas,” he said in an interview earlier this month.
