Kanye West has recently hired attorney Samantha Spector as his legal counsel amidst his ongoing divorce from his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian. A recent exclusive by TMZ revealed the news that Ye had fired previous lawyer Chris Melcher ahead of his divorce hearing.
As per the publication, the communication between Melcher and the Donda rapper had recently ceased prior to the former's dismissal of service. The report also disclosed that Ye's contradictory feelings against the divorce proceedings with Kardashian were one of the reasons for the fallout between him and Melcher.
Spector will now be representing West in the upcoming legal hearing on March 2, which will determine whether Kim Kardashian will be legally declared single.
