Kanye
West’s
antisemitism
continues
to
have
repercussions
for
the
rapper’s
legal
representation.
West’s
problematic
behavior
spans
more
than
just
the
antisemitic
rant
that
got
him
temporarily
banned
from
Twitter
—
yeah,
Elon
Musk
has
already
indicated
Ye
will
be
back
on
the
platform.
He
also
spread
vicious,
unfounded
rumors
that
it
wasn’t
former
police
officer
Derek
Chauvin
that
caused
George
Floyd’s
death
but
rather
fentanyl
—
and
as
a
result
he
is
facing
a
$250
million
lawsuit.
Plus
he
wore
a
“White
Lives
Matter”
shirt
to
his
Yeezy
fashion
show.
And
there
have
been
consequences.
He
lost
deals
with
Balenciaga
and
Adidas.
He
was
dropped
by
Creative
Artists
Agency,
and
film
and
television
studio
MRC
announced
they
were
ditching
a
completed
documentary
on
West.
Now
he’s
been
kicked
to
the
curb
by
Biglaw
firm
Quinn
Emanuel.
William
Burck,
Co-Managing
partner,
provided
Above
the
Law
with
the
following
update
regarding
Quinn
Emanuel’s
representation
of
Ye:
“QE
has
withdrawn
from
representing
Mr.
West
and
will
not
represent
him
in
the
future.”
Well,
damn.
Kanye
is
0
for
4
when
it
comes
to
Biglaw
firms
willing
to
sign
up
to
represent
him.
First
Brown
Rudnick
decided
they
were
done
with
Ye
when
he
refused
to
back
off
of
his
antisemitic
comments.
Cadwalader
—
which
previously
represented
the
rapper
in
his
separation
from
Gap
—
also
dropped
Kanye.
And
Pryor
Cashman
ended
its
longterm
engagement
with
Ye.
Quinn’s
representation
of
Ye
became
public
when
the
star
posted
what
appeared
to
be
a
text
message
between
himself
and
an
attorney
at
the
firm.
