Opposing Lawyer Says Kanye West "Has Attention Span Of A Goldfish" As Ye Struggles To Find New Representation

The lawsuits stemming from Kanye West's Donda Academy continue to lay at his feet. According to a new report from AllHipHop, things could wind up getting worse for the rapper, as a default judgment is seriously on the table. In particular, this relates to the more recent suit filed by Isaiah Meadows. The former assistant principal at the Academy has been seeking a default one anyway, but this seems like more a possibility. That's all thanks to Kanye West severely struggling to find a lawyer to represent him in court.

Judge Christopher Lui, who's presiding over this case, stated in a hearing yesterday, "This can’t continue forever. If a substitute counsel is going to come in, it has to be done quickly." This came after Manoj Shah, Ye's attorney, said, "We are trying in vain to retain counsel. We are interviewing several firms. For one reason or another, it has failed to work out. Our goal is to have counsel and participate in the defense."

Rumblings within this ongoing court battle are that Kanye continues to fire or not pay the people attempting to make his case. If the VULTURES MC cannot settle on one, then Judge Lui says he will enter default judgment. Ron Zambrano, who's been fighting for other former Donda Academy employees as well as Meadows, feels that he knows what the final result will be. "It’s an odd situation. This is the first time we’ve heard there’s an attorney representing [West’s] interests," Zambrano told Courthouse News.

"Whoever the next attorney is, there’s a long history of people not getting paid by Kanye West, which is part of the problem. But we’re gonna move forward. He’s going to have to pay attention to this case somehow." However, his critique didn't stop there as Zambrano made a quip as to why it's difficult for Ye to secure a lawyer. "I just think that sometimes he has the attention span of a goldfish." As it stands, there's no concrete timetable for how much longer he has, but it sounds like patience is running thin.

PnB Rock's Murder: New Video Evidence Debunks Theory About His Girlfriend's Involvement

New details have emerged regarding the killing of PnB Rock. According to CBS News Philadelphia, new surveillance footage from the Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles restaurant in Los Angeles where the rapper was killed debunks a popular internet theory that his girlfriend, Stephanie Sibounheuang, revealed their location on social media, helping the killers find them.

In the video, the set-up begins the moment Rock walks into the restaurant. They ended up having to wait 40 minutes for their food, during which time Rock made a phone call. The video also shows the moment of his death, which confirms the rapper never had a realistic chance to hand over his jewelry, as he was shot just seconds after the gunman approached him.

Sibounheuang has spoken out about the trauma she's dealt with from Rock's death numerous times on social media. “I am 100% not ok,” she wrote in 2022. “If I wasn’t spiritual I could kill my self (but then I’ll go to hell and my man not there) My man saved my life, Throwing me under that table. I’m not supposed to be here but bc of him. I am. No one would be able to handle this. TBH, I can’t even handle this." Kodak Black was one of the many voices to put blame on Sibounheuang for Rock's death.
