Kanye West’s threat to walk away from his fashion company’s fledgling partnership with the Gap has sent shares sharply lower.

Gap’s stock fell nearly 6 percent Monday following West’s comments he made at a public event Sunday. Videos taken at the event show the rapper criticizing Gap and Adidas, another apparel company his Yeezy brand partnered with.
