The reason for dumping him had largely to do with his controversies and anti-Semitic comments that end up hurting people at large.

Law firm finally succeeds in serving Kanye West after a recent letdown

While Kanye West has been all over the news, tracking him down in person seems to have been a difficult task. As per AllHipHop, New York-based law firm Greenberg Traurig LLP has been struggling for months to serve Ye in order to relieve themselves as his lawyers. But it seemed to be a difficult task even for a firm so big. Nina D.

The request was finally granted and on 1st February, the above-mentioned attorney sent an email of a Certificate of Service. Their struggle to hereby relieve themselves has come to an end.
