Kanye West faces new copyright lawsuit over song sample from Memphis rap track

Kanye West is facing a new copyright infringement lawsuit over his song "Fuk Sumn" from the album Vultures 1, released in February. The suit claims he used samples from the 1994 song "Drink a Yak (Part 2)" without permission. The lawsuit was filed by Memphis rappers Criminal Manne, DJ Squeeky, and the estate of Kilo G. They allege that West's legal team failed to finalize sample clearance before the album's release, leading to stalled negotiations. This lawsuit follows a previous case where West was accused of copyright infringement for another track on the same album. That song, "Good (Don’t Die)," was removed from streaming services after a settlement was reached in June.
