*Kanye West has settled his lawsuit against Lloyd’s of London, the insurer of his canceled Saint Pablo tour in 2016.
West’s touring company, Very Good Touring Inc. alleged that Lloyd’s of London had not fulfilled its loss claim by withholding payments due from the portion of West’s canceled tour. That claim was filed in November 2016, two days after West canceled the tour and checked into a psychiatric center at UCLA.
West’s $10 million lawsuit claimed that Lloyd’s “purposely and maliciously” disseminated “privileged, private and personal information” about West to the press in an effort to undercut his claim.
Lloyd’s of London countersued West, claiming they discovered “substantial irregularities in Mr. West’s medical history.” While Lloyd’s did not give specifics “in order to protect the privacy of Mr. West from public disclosure of details of his private life,” Lloyd’s implied that the rapper may have violated various insurance policy exclusions regarding preexisting conditions and the use of alcohol and drugs. The company also alleged West’s team was hindering the company’s investigation by refusing to “provide information both relevant and necessary for underwriters to complete their investigation of the claim.”
Howard King, the attorney representing West’s touring company in the suit, confirmed in a statement to Rolling Stone that “the dispute has been amicably resolved.”
The terms of the settlement have not been disclosed. According to TMZ, West received most of what was due under the policy.
