Kanye West loses fourth lawyer in Kim Kardashian divorce case as battle to split rages on

Kanye West has been dropped by a fourth lawyer amid his ongoing divorce from Kim Kardashian.

The rapper, who legally goes by the name Ye, has been going through the process since February last year, when his estranged wife filed papers to end their marriage.

Earlier this year, Kanye parted ways with lawyer Chris Melcher, and now his most recent lawyer Samantha Spector has filed paperwork to withdraw from the case.

Samantha cited an irreconcilable breakdown with the 44-year-old rapper, according to court documents obtained by The Blast.

An attorney from Pennsylvania - who is not a divorce lawyer - is reportedly set to represent the Grammy-winning artist in his bitter split from Kim.

Kanye turned to the help of Samatha following his public complaints that Kim had prevented him from seeing their four children.

Back in February, Kim took to TikTok to share her frustration at her ex and his behaviour at the time.

She told fans: "As the parent who is the main provider and caregiver for our children, I am doing my best to protect our daughter while also allowing her to express her creativity in the medium that she wishes with adult supervision - because it brings her happiness.

"Divorce is difficult enough on our children and Kanye's obsession with trying to control and manipulate our situation so negatively and publicly is only causing further pain for all.

"From the beginning I have wanted nothing but a healthy relationship because it is what is best for our children and it saddens me that Kanye continues to make it impossible every step of the way."

Kanye fired back at his ex on Instagram. He wrote in a scathing post: "America saw you try to kidnap my daughter on her birthday by not providing the address.

"You put security on me inside of the house to play with my son then accused me of stealing I had to take a drug test after Chicago's party cause you accused me of being on drugs."

It is the fourth lawyer who has dropped out of the ongoing saga, according to TMZ.

Meanwhile, Kim has moved on with comedian Pete Davidson and she appears to be doing just fine without Kanye.

Kanye has been spotted with Kim lookalike Chaney Jones as his ex continues to live her best life.
