Kanye West Settles with Donna Summer's Estate


Back in February the Estate of disco queen Donna Summer threatened to sued Kanye West for copyright infringement for sampling "I Feel Love" after being denied permission for his joint album with Ty Dolla $ign, "Vultures II [click here if you missed that]." 

The issue has been settled...

Kanye West has settled with the Estate of Donna Summer over allegations of copyright infringement from the unauthorized use of the singer’s iconic hit “I Feel Love” on his album Vultures 1.
Sources revealed to AllHipHop that negotiations persisted throughout April and May, culminating in a global settlement on May 13.
All parties have agreed in principle, although the estate has faced challenges locating Ty Dolla $ign to serve him with legal documents. Despite the obstacle, both parties anticipate finalizing and executing the written settlement shortly.
The terms of this settlement, including any financial compensation or specific amends, haven’t been made public.
Once all parties have signed the settlement agreement, the estate plans to proceed with filing a stipulation for dismissal of the action. Once executed, the settlement will end a legal dispute that has attracted significant public and media attention.

Yup, Donna Summer was about her business early on. Maybe the settlement has something to do with Ye and the misses dining at Denny's lol.

Kanye and people like him are going to learn to do business the right way just because he did not take the steps to protect himself in business. I think he felt like some of the older people like donna Summer did not protect themselves and he quickly found out that she did that’s why he thought it was OK to infringe upon her copyright and until he got served.
