Image
A group of attorneys representing Kanye West are planning to inform the rapper through large newspaper ads that they are no longer providing him legal services.   Lawyers for the firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP said in docs reviewed by TMZ that West, 45, has shut off the phone number they had to contact him with, leading to 'a breakdown in communication' with the ex-husband of Kim Kardashian.    The attorneys said that their firm has sought to notify West via 'alternative means' of telling West that they were no longer representing him, along with publishing a court order issued by a judge permitting the severance of the professional relationship.   The attorneys said that the planned ads are a last-ditch idea, as they have been trying to contact West about the issue, but he has been unresponsive.   The idea behind publishing the statement in a newspaper is that it would 'likely garner significant media attention, res...
