Kanye West retains Johnny Depp’s previous legal counsel Valerie Camille
West has recently been in the news due to a number of contradictory opinions and statements.
Kanye West has received recent attention as a result of a number of contradictory opinions and divisive remarks. Ye has retained Camille Vasquez to assist with legal matters moving forward. Vasquez is notable for having previously defended Johnny Depp in his defamation lawsuit against the actor’s ex-wife, Amber Heard.
Rapper Heartless has now enlisted the help of Brown Rudnick, a team that Camille Vasquez is a crucial component of. It has not been made public how Vasquez will assist Kanye West, according to TMZ, because a number of matters have progressed to the level of litigation.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Kanye West has apparently recruited Camille Vasquez, Johnny Depp’s defamation trial attorney, to handle his commercial interests in light of his escalating public image and financial issues.
With their recent victory in the slander trial, Depp’s legal team won many admirers. In a lawsuit Depp brought against Heard, the actor was assisted by Ben Chew and Vazquez in winning $15 million. Despite the fact that Chew spoke clearly throughout the trial, it was his associate Vazquez who caught the media’s eye.
Breaking up relations with West
The notorious rapper is still having problems. According to fashion news website WWD, rapper Kanye West’s relationship with the Paris-based design brand Balenciaga has come to an end after a string of contentious remarks, including one that was criticized as anti-Semitic. According to Balenciaga’s parent company Kering, “Balenciaga has no current affiliation with this artist and no intentions for future initiatives relating to this artist.”
It comes after a string of notably odd actions by West, now known as Ye. He unexpectedly made an appearance earlier this month at Paris Fashion Week for his brand Yeezy, wearing clothing with the divisive slogan “White Lives Matter,” which is widely regarded as a racist response to the Black Lives Matter movement.
When a prominent fashion journalist and former coworkers and friends of the 45-year-old artist criticised the decision, including Kering CEO Bernard Arnault, the artist retaliated on social media. Gap and West announced last month that they were ending their collaboration because they were no longer working toward the same goals. Adidas stated earlier this month that it was “under review” of its own collaboration with Kanye. AFP reached out to Balenciaga and Kering for comment, but neither company provided any.
Ye made an appearance as a model in the most recent Balenciaga show in Paris last month while dressed in a military-inspired ensemble in a mud pit. On Thursday, pictures of him from the show were no longer viewable on the Balenciaga website. The rapper and Demna, the creative director of Balenciaga, have a long-standing friendship. This year, they debuted a clothing collection together.
The former rapper who rose to power has been outspoken about his mental condition. “Jeen-Yuhs,” a recent Netflix documentary, exposed his ongoing mental health issues. Ye’s accounts on Twitter and Instagram were shut down as a result of his recent remarks, which included a tirade about carrying out “death con 3 on Jewish people.”
He stated earlier this week that he was purchasing the conservative social media site Parler. We must ensure that we have the freedom to express ourselves in a society where conservative viewpoints are viewed as divisive, he said.
