“Seek, and ye shall find.”

So goes the verse in Matthew 7:7, as the King James Version renders it. That may have inspired Kanye West’s lawyers, who reportedly have finally tracked down the rapper–who goes by Ye–in order to tell him they are quitting.

The musician reportedly made himself scarce, including changing his phone number. His now ex-attorneys finally located him at an address “primarily used by persons and entities not affiliated with Ye or his businesses,” lawyers at Greenberg Traurig said.

In case one is wondering, the firm’s three founders, Larry Hoffman, Mel Greenberg and Robert Traurig–all Jewish.

The nomadic Ye, who is a Wandering Anti-Jew, has a widely-reported history of making antisemitic comments and peddling anti-Jewish conspiracy theories. He has the unenviable distinction of being named StopAntisemitism’s “Antisemite of the Year.”

“Despite the attacks on our coverage from opposing directions on a near-daily basis, we will not let critics or advocacy campaigns deter us from such independent reporting,” a spokesman for the paper told JNS.
“These are not just numbers on a page but are lived experience of all Jewish Americans,” Rep. Brad Knott said, of Jew-hatred, on the House floor.
“Abe believed that hearts could change,” said Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove, of Park Avenue Synagogue.
Law enforcement thanked the general public for help finding the man in question just one day after the incident.
It comes as the Israeli Foreign Ministry claimed that the paper published a “shameful attack” on the Jewish state before the release of a report on sexual violence on Oct. 7.
“Jewish New Yorkers constitute a minority of New Yorkers across the five boroughs and yet constitute a majority of New Yorkers who face hate crimes in this city,” the New York City mayor said.
