A California federal court judge on Wednesday
dismissed the lawsuit brought by West's Very Good Touring
company against syndicates of Lloyd's of London insurance
markets after requests by both parties, court documents showed.
Paul Schrieffer, the attorney representing Lloyd's, said on
Thursday that the dispute "was resolved amicably" but gave no
details. West's attorney did not return a request for comment.
West sued Lloyd’s for nearly $10 million in insurance payouts
after he abruptly canceled his Saint Pablo tour in November 2016
with more than 20 shows left.
His lawsuit said he canceled because he was hospitalized with a
"serious, debilitating medical condition." The nature of West's
medical issues, which followed a week of no-shows, curtailed
concerts and on-stage political rants, have never been
disclosed.
Lloyd's filed a countersuit saying there were "substantial
irregularities" in the rapper's medical history and noting that
its policies exclude any losses caused by the possession or use
of illegal drugs, the impact of prescription drugs not used as
prescribed, or the use of alcohol.
West has kept a low profile, with few public appearances, since
November 2016. He and his wife Kim Kardashian last month
announced the arrival of a third child, this time born to a
surrogate.
