Kanye West Hires Johnny Depp's Lawyer Camille Vasquez After Losing Business Partners: Report

Johnny Depp's lawyer Camille Vasquez has joined Kanye West's legal team, a report has claimed.

The embattled rapper hired the 38-year-old lawyer and the Brown Rudnick firm to oversee his business deals and contracts, unnamed sources close to West told TMZ.

Vasquez was one of the lawyers who represented Depp during his defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, which concluded with a jury siding mostly with the "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor.

West has reportedly faced financial fallout over his anti-Semitic attacks, claims about George Floyd's death and controversial "White Lives Matter" T-shirt at the Paris fashion week earlier this month.

West has since lost a major partner in Balenciaga. The French fashion house quietly removed all mentions of West from its site, including its Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga collaboration with the rapper.

On Thursday, Kering, the parent company of Balenciaga, confirmed the end of its professional relationship with West.

"Balenciaga has no longer any relationship nor any plans for future projects related to this artist," the statement read, according to Women's Wear Daily.

West also had a falling out with Adidas, which handles the manufacturing of and distribution for his billion-dollar Yeezy brand.

Earlier this month, he met with the executives of the company and left them uncomfortable by showing them a pornographic film to draw a parallel between its plot and his relationship with the company.

"You guys have done wrong by the company, by the business and by the partnership," the rapper said in footage of the meeting shared on YouTube. "The whole concept of this video is that the guy had cheated, so then the girl was like, 'Well then I'm going to do the thing that's your worst nightmare.'"

West alleged that the brand stole his designs.

"What you're feeling right now is extreme discomfort, and that is exactly the point because when someone steals this man's ideas, his creations, it's like you're stealing a child. These are all children of his mind, and you've kidnapped them," one of West's liaisons said. "There are Yeezy-inspired derivatives that are making significant revenue because people can't tell the difference because it's so inspired. ... He's angry, and he's right."

Adidas recently announced that it has put its partnership with West "under review" after "repeated efforts to privately resolve the situation." This came after West called out the company for allegedly copying his ideas and not giving him enough control over the line.

"Successful partnerships are rooted in mutual respect and shared values," the brand said in a statement obtained by CNBC.

West had also terminated his partnership with Gap. He criticized Gap for allegedly taking credit for his designs and not allowing him to be part of the creative process. The retailer is still selling the current Yeezy Gap clothing, Insider reported.

Meanwhile, Vogue and its editor-in-chief Anna Wintour reportedly no longer intend to work with West again following his anti-Semitic posts and after he mocked one of their editors, Gabriella Karefa-Johnson.
