Kanye West has been brought down by high-powered divorce lawyers amid his ongoing anti-Semitic rants.
The rapper was ditched by a number of collaborators, including Gap, Vogue, and Balenciaga, after engaging in a social media tirade, saying he would “death scam on the Jewish people.”
Now facing backlash for his “White Lives Matter” t-shirts, Yeezy’s founder will have to find new divorce lawyers in his ongoing battle with Kim Kardashian.
He was represented at prestigious New York Cohen Clair Lans Griefer Thorpe & Rottenstreich LLP by distinguished divorce lawyers Bernard Clair and Bob Cohen.
“The firm no longer represents Kanye West,” a source told us on Monday.
Agents for West and his clients Clair and Cohen, whose former attorneys include Melinda Gates, Chris Rock, and Judith Nathan, have not gotten back to us at the time of her divorce with Rudy Giuliani.
In one of his most high-profile cases, Cohen helped Gates, 58, walk away from his divorce from Bill Gates with an estimated settlement of nearly $76 billion.
Cohen and Clair were West’s fifth law firm in this divorce case, as the billionaire entertainer has had the revolving door of a lawyer representing him for the past year and a half.
Kardashian, 42, filed for divorce from West in February 2021, and the former couple were declared legally single in March 2022. However, discussions continued over the financial situation and custody of their four children, North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
Last week, Ye, 45, was taken off Twitter and Instagram for hateful posts about Jews.
After her comments, Kardashian made a statement to her Instagram Story on Monday, saying, “Hate speech is never okay or justifiable. I stand with the Jewish community and call for an immediate end to the horrific violence and hate speech against them.”
In addition, Khloé Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, and Kendall Jenner posted a statement on Jessica Seinfeld’s Instagram, saying, “I support my Jewish friends and Jewish people.”
