The drama between Kanye West and his tour insurance company has gotten really messy. In case you missed how it all started, Kanye West’s touring company, Very Good Touring, had filed a lawsuit of $10m against a London insurance company called Lloyd’s of London for failing to pay out his claims following the cancellation of his Saint Pablo Tour eight months ago.
Recall that at his last concert in Sacramento, Kanye West went on a long rant against Beyonce and Jay-Z and a few others people, before storming out of the venue. Shortly after, he cancelled the tour and was admitted for eight days days at UCLA Medical Center in late November, following reports of a mental breakdown.
Fully recovered, Kanye West filed claims to get paid by his insurance company and after he presented his medical records, the company still ignored his request, prompting the rapper to sue them for for breach of contract and breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealings. He also alleged that they leaked his medical reports to the press.
In the docs, Kanye’s touring company says it had a policy with Lloyd’s to cover cancellation or non-appearance fees. However, Lloyd’s has yet to cough out a dime and, according to the suit, it might not ever, because it suspects Kanye’s marijuana use caused his breakdown.
Very Good Touring says Lloyd’s has no proof to back up its weed theory, and is merely looking for any ostensible excuse no matter how fancifu to deny payment on the policy and is therefore suing Lloyd’s for $9.8 million, plus interest
Well, true to the touring company’s words, Lloyd’s of London has said that the reason why they invalidated the famous rapper’s claims is because of his use of marijuana which caused his mental breakdown and prevented him from completing his tour.
