Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West has some serious heat on his head. A clothing company is reportedly getting at him for allegedly stealing camouflage patterns for his Yeezy Apparel brand.
According to reports, Jordan Outdoor Enterprises has sued both Ye’s company and Unkwn over a slew of camo-styled gear from pants to jackets.
The lawsuit claims Jordan has distinctive markings on its Realtree line and Kanye’s companies ripped them off. According to the lawsuit, a rep from Yeezy contacted Jordan to discuss using the camo patterns, but when the folks at Jordan said Kanye’s company needed to license the items, they went radio silent and then without authorization they went ahead and copied the patterns.

Earlier this month, Kanye’s wife Kim Kardashian blew up on a fan for going off on Yeezy Season 7.
How can a verified account represent Yeezy with false information. You do NOT work for Yeezy and NOT affiliated. How are you gonna believe an account that posts fake color ways 😂😂😂 https://t.co/xkaYC98G7u

Season 6 was genius. All of my Japan looks are season 7 & will be online soon. Yeezy does not play by fashion rules. The show room was strictly shoes & always intended for that. https://t.co/xkaYC98G7u

The tensions stemmed from a Kanye-themed Twitter page announcing West would not put out a Yeezy Season 7 collection.
A verified Twitter account that calls itself The Yeezy Mafia tweeted that Yeezy buyers were invited to an empty showroom. The tweet then went on to claim that: “There won’t be any apparel or accessories for SEASON 7 as Kanye West couldn’t do what he wanted to achieve with this collection.” Given Kanye’s reputation as an eccentric man who does things in his own way, that wasn’t the least believable thing that people had heard.

Last month, shots surfaced of Kim K donning some legit Yeezy Season 7 apparel.
