Kanye West ditched by divorce lawyers over anti-Semitic remarks

Kanye West has been dropped by his high-powered divorce attorneys amid his ongoing anti-Semitic rants.

The rapper has been ditched by a series of collaborators — such as Gap, Vogue and Balenciaga — after he went on a social media tirade, saying that he was going “death con 3 on Jewish people.”

But a source told us Monday, “The firm is no longer representing Kanye West.”

Reps for West and his former lawyers Clair and Cohen — whose clients have included Melinda Gates, Chris Rock and Judith Nathan in her divorce with Rudy Giuliani — didn’t get back to us.

In one of his most high-profile cases, Cohen helped Gates, 58, walk away from her divorce from Bill Gates with an estimated settlement of about $76 billion.

Cohen and Clair were West’s fifth law firm in this divorce case, as the billionaire entertainer has had a revolving door of lawyers represent him over the past year and a half.

Kardashian, 42, filed to divorce West in February 2021, and the former couple was declared legally single in March 2022. However, discussions have continued over finances and custody of their four kids: North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.

This past week, Ye, 45, has been taken off Twitter and Instagram for hateful messages about Jews.

Following his comments, Kardashian posted a statement to her Instagram Story on Monday, writing, “Hate speech is never ok or excusable. I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end.”
