Six Time's A Charm! Kanye West Hires Melinda Gates' Attorney To Fight Kim Kardashian In $2.1 Billion Divorce
Sept. 28 2022, Published 1:21 p.m. ET
Ye - formerly known as Kanye West— has hired his sixth lawyer in his $2.1 billion divorce battle against Kim Kardashian, and this attorney has a track record of helping successful billionaires. The Donda rapper has obtained pitbull attorney Robert Stephan Cohen of Cohen Clair Lans Greifer Thorpe & Rottenstreich LLP, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Cohen represented Melinda Gates in her $130 billion divorce against tech tycoon Bill Gates, and that's not all.
The lawyer's other clients have included Rupert Murdoch, Chris Rock, Athina Onassis, and more. However, there's a hiccup in Ye's plan.
Cohen is in New York City and his divorce case with Kim is based in Los Angeles.
Ye's will also bring on Nicholas A. Salick of Salick Family Law Group, APLC as his counsel in California, TMZ reports.
As RadarOnline.com first reported, back in March, the judge presiding over the couple's divorce granted Kim’s motion to become legally single.
The reality star wrote in a declaration, “I have been attempting to settle our dissolution with [Kanye] since I filed for divorce in February 2021."

"I have requested several times that [Kanye] agree to bifurcate and terminate our marital status. [He] has not responded to my request,” she added.
"[Kanye] and I both deserve the opportunity to build new lives. Therefore, I am asking that my request to bifurcate and terminate our marital status be granted."
Despite Ye's and Kim being declared legally single, they are still working through topics like the custody of their kids — North, 9, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 3 — and property.
Kim filed for divorce from Kanye in February 2021 after nearly six years of marriage.
