Ahead of a crucial court hearing on Wednesday in his divorce from estranged wife Kim Kardashian, Kanye West has reportedly fired his third lawyer Chris Melcher, hiring a new attorney to represent him.
Sources told TMZ that Kanye and Chris' relationship "had become extremely difficult, with little communication", so the 44-year-old rapper fired him from being his attorney in the divorce case.
Kanye also kept changing his mind on whether he wanted to settle things amicably with Kim, 41, or put up a fight like he did when he objected to her initial divorce demands, a source revealed.
To fight the divorce battle with Kim, Kanye has now hired attorney Samantha Spector, who recently represented Nicole Young in her divorce from American rapper Dr. Dre.
While Kim is expected to call in or video chat for the hearing, it's "highly unlikely" that Kanye will show up in person, the report says.
