Kanye West has sued Walmart for selling knockoffs for his famous Yeezy sneakers label.
West filed the complaint against the retail giant on Thursday in California court. The sneaker range, that was launched last year, has a retail price of $75.
The knockoffs at Walmart are being sold for as low as $21.99.
“Walmart is flagrantly trading off of his and Yeezy brand’s popularity by offering for sale an imitation version of the Yeezy Foam Runner,” according to the suit.
