Rumors were running around last week that Kanye West had a summer internship at The Gap learning the ins and outs of the major retail fashion industry. The rumors started after a source told US Weekly:

“He works all the time, and one Friday night recently he stayed until midnight. He is learning the fashion business from the inside and trying to do it quietly.”

But now, People Magazine has dispelled these rumors as an official spokesperson for Gap shot the rumors down stating “Regarding Kanye interning at Gap, this is not true.‚Äù That has to be one of the shortest official statements we have seen but it gets the job done. So there you have it folks….your $6.99 Gap t-shirts are saved from being Kanye-ized for now.
