Doctor needs a new lawyer

DR. Dre has to get a new lawyer in his divorce case.

A judge has ruled that Dre’s longtime lawyer, Howard King, and power divorce attorney Laura Wasser cannot represent him in his blockbuster split from estranged wife Nicole Young.

Wasser is known as one of LA’s most prominent divorce attorneys, with clients including Kim Kardashian.

But Young and her attorney argued in court papers that King had previously repped Dre and Young throughout their marriage.

Wasser was “vicariously disqualified” from representing the rap mogul in the divorce because she was working with King.

Young’s lawyer, Samantha Spector , had been trying to disqualify King and Wasser from the case, since Young claimed King had acted as a family lawyer since the couple were engaged.

The move is a major victory for Young and Spector, another of Tinseltown’s biggest legal names, who often faces off against Wasser.

According to a ruling filed this week in Los Angeles court and seen by Page Six, the judge ruled that Dre “is instructed to obtain counsel as soon as possible.”

Reps for Dre did not comment. It remains to be seen which attorney he’ll pick next.

The Beats Electronics and Death Row Records founder is reportedly worth about $800 million.

Dre is paying Young monthly temporary spousal support as their divorce plays out. She is staying in the couple’s Malibu home.

They’ve been battling over a prenup since filing for divorce in June. Young has painted Dre as a control freak who “forced” her to sign the prenup “under extreme duress” on their wedding day, while Dre claims the prenup is legit.

The couple were married for 24 years and split on March 27, 2020, according to court papers. Dre was since hospitalized with a brain aneurism and was released in January.
