Another one of Kanye “Ye” West’s professional relationships has officially become unofficial: Attorneys from law firm Greenberg Traurig say they’ve located Ye to drop him as a client after previously stating they had “exhausted all methods” of contacting the artist, Billboard reports. As of this writing, representatives from Greenberg Traurig have not responded to The A.V. Club’s request for comment.
“The address at which Ye was personally served is not one that is publicly affiliated with Ye or his businesses, but one that Ye nonetheless frequents,” the lawyers wrote in a court filing, per Billboard. “The location also appears to be primarily used by persons and entities not affiliated with Ye or his businesses.”
The formal filing arrives just a month after the same attorneys asked a judge to allow them to run notices in local Los Angeles newspapers announcing their professional split from Ye after failing to locate him. The measure would’ve been extraordinary to say the least—but now, it’s one that won’t be needed.
“On January 18, 2023, an attorney based in California contacted my firm advising that he would be representing ‘Ye on some of his legal matters,’” Nina D. Boyajian, an attorney for Greenberg Traurig, says of the event that ultimately got the firm in contact with Ye. “During the course of several emails and a phone call with this attorney, I requested that he coordinate personal service of the Order on Ye. On February 1, 2023, the attorney referenced above emailed me the executed Certificate of Service.” A signed document obtained by Billboard indicates that West was served on January 27.
Neither the name of West’s new legal representation nor the place he was finally located were disclosed in public documents. The A.V. Club has reached out to his representation for comment.

I mean, it seems like just enticing Ben Shapiro or Matt Walsh to invite Ye onto a broadcast and setting up shop outside to wait for him would’ve worked, too.
““The address at which Ye was personally served is not one that is publicly affiliated with Ye or his businesses, but one that Ye nonetheless frequents… The location also appears to be primarily used by persons and entities not affiliated with Ye or his businesses.”
So I’m guessing strip club?
I knew I wasn’t the only one that “Titty bar” was the first thing that popped to mind.
Shocking that a Los Angeles entertainment lawyer would think to look there.
Hah, that was absolutely my first thought as well.
How could they find him? I can’t even see him in that picture.
That’s John Cena.
No, can’t be. I don’t see a giant silver dildo helmet.
Why in God’s name is this news?Oh.. because it involves a cancellation. Duh.

My god he truly has hit rock bottom.
not until the guy who punched out Marilyn Manson finds him
“As of this writing, representatives from Greenberg Traurig have not responded to The A.V. Club’s request for comment.”Hahahaha…I think you’re going to be waiting for that one for a while.And yeah, I agree with the general vibe here…strip club.
I dunno. I can definitely see Greenberg Traurig putting a few dozen multimillion dollar cases on the back burner for a while so they can respond to this worthless fucking rag..
yeah pretty unintentionally hilarious line
I’m hoping that was meant to be a little tongue in cheek.
I like it. A little of that old pre-Kinja AV Club snark.
Most tame Ye headline in a while.
Do we have to keep calling him “Ye” it’s dumb.
Yes it is; and yes we do.
If I ever meet him, I’m calling him Yeee
