Attorney Seeks to Withdraw from Lawsuit Against Kanye West for Assault on Autograph Dealer

The legal drama surrounding rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, continues to unfold as his attorney seeks to be relieved from the case in a lawsuit brought by an autograph dealer. The attorney, Brian Brumfield, claims that Ye has ceased communication and refuses to pay for legal services, leading to the request for withdrawal from the case.

The lawsuit, filed by Justin Poplawski and his wife, Tiffany Marshall, alleges that Ye assaulted Poplawski after requesting an autograph, blaming his foul mood on his divorce from Kim Kardashian. The claims include assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligence, with Marshall alleging a loss of consortium.

According to court documents filed by Brumfield, Ye terminated their working relationship on June 21 and has refused to communicate or pay for legal services. The incident reportedly took place outside the Soho Warehouse social club in downtown Los Angeles, where Ye allegedly struck Poplawski multiple times, causing severe injuries.

The lawsuit also mentions that Ye’s own companions urged him to stop hitting Poplawski, highlighting the chaotic nature of the incident. A hearing on Brumfield’s withdrawal motion is scheduled for July 29, leaving the question of who will represent Ye in the ongoing legal battle up in the air.

As the case unfolds, the public awaits to see how Ye will handle the situation and whether he will find new legal representation to navigate the complex legal proceedings. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
