Brian Brumfield, the attorney representing Kanye West in an ongoing lawsuit against an autograph dealer, has made claims that the rapper is not only refusing to pay him but is also avoiding any form of communication. According to documents filed by Brumfield, West terminated their working relationship on June 21, leaving the attorney in a difficult position. The situation has escalated to the point where Brumfield has requested to be relieved from representing West in the lawsuit.
Allegations Against Kanye West
The original lawsuit, filed by Justin Poplawski and his wife, Tiffany Marshall, accuses Kanye West of assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligence. The incident allegedly took place outside a social club in downtown Los Angeles in January 2022. Poplawski claims that West struck him multiple times after he asked for an apology. The lawsuit further states that Marshall suffered a loss of consortium as a result of the altercation. West is also claimed to have acted out of aggression due to his divorce proceedings with Kim Kardashian at the time.
Latest Legal Troubles
This recent development in the lawsuit comes shortly after Kanye West was named in another legal battle involving a former Yeezy staffer. The staffer alleges that West’s new wife, Bianca Censori, sent inappropriate material to staff members, some of whom were minors. This incident occurred during the production of “Yeezy Porn,” the rapper’s latest project. Censori has vehemently denied the allegations, as stated by West’s former chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos.
As the legal troubles continue to mount for Kanye West, it remains to be seen how these allegations will impact his career and public image. The refusal to pay his attorney and the string of lawsuits paint a negative picture of the rapper’s behavior. The upcoming hearing on Brian Brumfield’s motion to be relieved from representing West will shed more light on the situation. It is clear that Kanye West is facing significant legal challenges that may have lasting consequences.
