In the lawsuit, which was obtained by TMZ, Toki Sen-I Co. says it made a deal last year with Kanye and Yeezy Apparel where Toki Sen-I would manufacture fleece fabric for the Yeezy shoes. The company says it has worked with Kanye in the past and that they always received payment for their work until now.

The total fleece order was roughly $624,000. Toki Sen-I Co. reportedly manufactured the fleece but allegedly received an email from Yeezy Apparel saying they were going to scrap the deal. According to reports, a lot of fabric was manufactured. There was reportedly 53,500 yards of fabric at $10.81 a yard that needed to be paid for.
