Kanye West is said to have hired Camille Vasquez of the law firm Brown Rudnick to manage his “commercial interests”. Attorneys and other attorneys will represent the rapper’s “contracts, agreements and work,” according to TMZ. However, netizens cast doubt on Camille Vasquez’s allegation of engagement, arguing that even a famous lawyer could not do miracles for Kanye:
Why did Kanye West hire Camelli Vasquez?
Vasquez’s choice after West’s recent scandals has drawn criticism. Earlier this month, the Donda founder was fined for wearing a “White Lives Matter” t-shirt at a Yeezy showcase during Paris Fashion Week. Soon after, he made multiple anti-Semitic statements on social media, which resulted in his Instagram and Twitter accounts being locked. West is also being sued for $250 million for inciting comments related to the death of George Floyd.
During an appearance on Drink Champs, the singer confirmed Floyd died from an overdose of fentanyl, not from Derek Chauvin’s physical attack. The rapper’s words caused an even bigger storm. After the incident, Balenciaga announced the end of all relations with the West. According to the brand statement:
“Balenciaga no longer has any relationship with this artist, nor does he intend to collaborate in the future with this artist.”
West also fell out with Gap and terminated his contract with the company ahead of Paris Fashion Week, while also criticizing Adidas. Needless to say, the rapper hired a legal team, including Camille Vasquez, to investigate his company amid his troubles. Vasquez rose to fame after defending Johnny Depp in the Amber Heard defamation lawsuit. The lawyer is a social media phenomenon after playing a key role in Depp’s victory.

As comments on the internet continue to pour in, it remains to be seen whether Kanye West or Camille Vasquez will officially announce their legal partnership in the coming days. West is said to have hired Melinda Gates’ former divorce attorney, Bob Cohen, to defend him in his divorce from Kim Kardashian, TMZ reported. However, Vasquez and her staff are not expected to be involved in the case. If Kim Kardashian and Kanye West fail to reach an agreement by December 2022, their divorce will go to trial.
