Bill Cosby supports Kanye West's battle in freeing Larry Hoover. The 84-year-old's rep Andrew Wyatt tells Breaking Celebrity News, they stand with Ye after he announced he hired the same lawyer who helped get the comedian out of prison.

Kanye has been working hard to push for Hoover's release, even soliciting his archenemy Drake. While the Candian-born rapper is currently battling the aftermath of the Astrowold tragedy, he's remained radio silent on Ye's olive branch to put their beef aside for the sake of Hoover.

But Cosby and Wyatt aren't sitting back idly.

Cosby's longtime friend and rep tells Breaking Celebrity News that while the comedian "has no knowledge of Mr. Hoover," the judicial system "has shown its hatred towards Black Men, who are incarcerated."

Wyatt says Hoover "has paid his debt to society and his story must be told in the same manner that I always reminded people of the good that Mr. Cosby brought to the world."

Breaking Celebrity News is told Cosby appreciates Kanye's continued support. Wyatt would "love to sit down with Kanye" and talk strategy on how to free Hoover.

"I stand with Ye and Mr. Hoover," Wyatt says. "I also, would like to say, thank you to Ye on behalf of Mr. Cosby and the Cosby family for his support of Mr. Cosby. Thank you very much."
