Back in August, Kanye West filed a $10 million lawsuit addressing his period of hospitalization following the tour cancellation. The lawsuit was filed against insurer Lloyd’s of London, who were enlisted by West and his touring company, Very Good Touring, Inc. for his 2016 ‘Saint Pablo’ Tour in the event he'd have to cancel any performances. West alleged that Lloyd’s has yet to make any kind of payment to him and his team.

In response, Lloyd’s of London’s filed a countersuit pointing to its insurance policy exclusions that pertain to a pre existing psychological condition, possession of illegal drugs, prescription drugs not taken as medically prescribed, and the consumption of alcohol rendering the insured unfit to perform. In sum, they alleged that West's reasons for cancelling the tour were “not beyond [his] control.”

According to Pitchfork, West and his team have now responded to Lloyd’s counterclaims, restating their original arguments, stating that Lloyd’s employees “suggested that they may deny coverage of the claim on the unsupportable contention that use of marijuana by Kanye caused the medical condition.”
