    Kanye is seeking declaratory relief in addition to alleging “unjust enrichment on the part of the song publisher and record companies”.

    Kanye West has filed a pair of lawsuits in what may be an attempt to extradite himself from contracts and reclaim control over his career. One lawsuit is against EMI, the song publisher that has administered the rights to his songs since 2003, shortly before the hip-hop star released his debut album, The College Dropout. The other is against Roc-a-Fella Records, UMG Recordings, Def Jam and Bravado International Group.

    The complaints filed on Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court are almost entirely redacted and so the basis of his legal actions are very mysterious. But there’s at least this...

    “There now exists a dispute between Plaintiffs and Defendant EMI regarding the parties’ rights and obligations to one another under the EMI Contract and Extensions.”

    Similar language is used to explain the controversy over his recording agreements.

    Japanese Fabric Company Sues Kanye West for More Than $600,000

    Japanese company Toki Sen-I Co. alleges namesake and founder Kanye West is. The knitted-fabric producers are suing West and his company for $600,000, claiming the rapper and designer committed fraud by creating a fake entity to cheat them out of payment for an order.

    In court documents obtained by TMZ, West and Yeezy Apparel, LLC. are accused of defaulting on a longtime relationship with Toki Sen-I Co. after placing a June 2018 order for over 50,000 yards of various fleece fabrics at $10.81 a yard—and not paying the $624,051 bill, plus subsequent storage.

    The company says it began working with West and Yeezy Apparel in 2015, and had a productive and paid-on-time relationship with the label until the order in question. One can only assume that’s why they continued with production after West failed to provide a down payment, as requested.

    Toki Sen-I claims West later refused to pay for the completed order or to accept one of several payment plans offered. The company tried to recoup their losses by reselling the order, but the fabric was too specific to the Yeezy brand.

    Now, the company not only wants to be paid in full but is alleging that Yeezy Apparel is a fraud altogether.

    “The company also claims Kanye’s company, Yeezy Apparel, is a ‘shell’ and a ‘sham’ without capital assets or member interest,” reports The Blast, who also obtained documents. “They believe Kanye operates Yeezy Apparel to prevent himself from being personally liable for anything.”

    Representatives for West have yet to respond to requests for comment.

    Guess Donald Trump really is like a father to him.

    As ugly as his designs and clothes are (who told this negro he was Gianni Versace?), I just assumed he was robbing and stripping homeless people of the clothes at night
