Kanye West is suing his tour's insurer after the company allegedly refused to pay for his canceled shows in November - and blamed his cannabis use.


The rapper was forced to cancel the last 21 shows of his North American tour after he had a mental breakdown and had to be checked into a hospital.

While his insurer Lloyd's of London would normally cover the costs, the company said they don't have to pay because his marijuana use caused the breakdown.

The 40-year-old is asking for $10 million in damages from Lloyd's, claiming the company has yet to pay him out for his cancelled shows, and has no intent to do so.

His company said in a legal document filed on Tuesday that insurers have yet to pay and is 'implying that Kanye's use of marijuana may provide them with the basis to deny the claim'.
