    Kanye West & Donna Summer Resolve Copyright Lawsuit

    Kanye West and Donna Summer have finally put an end to their legal battle over the alleged unauthorized sampling of the late artist’s single “I Feel Love.” The lawsuit, which was filed back in February, has now been resolved with both parties entering into a settlement agreement.

    The dispute arose when Donna Summer’s estate accused Kanye West of sampling the song without permission, despite their initial rejection of his request to do so. The estate’s attorneys claimed that West and his team “arrogantly and unilaterally decided they would simply steal ‘I Feel Love’ and use it without permission.”

    Details of the settlement have not been disclosed at this time, leaving fans wondering if Kanye’s track โ€œGood (Donโ€™t Die)” will be available for purchase or streaming in the near future. With rumors of Vultures 2 on the horizon, it remains to be seen how this legal issue will impact the release of new music from the controversial artist.

    As the dust settles on this copyright dispute, many are hoping that Kanye West has learned his lesson and will be more diligent in securing permission to sample other artists in the future. The resolution of this case marks a step towards closure for both parties involved.
