Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign are facing legal trouble from a group of Memphis rappers suing them for copyright infringement.
The Memphis rap veterans claim the duo used their work without proper authorization.
On Wednesday the rappers filed a lawsuit against Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign.
The lawsuit alleges the Vultures 1 song “Sumn” features samples from their track “Drank a Yak (Part 2)” without crediting or compensating them.
The plaintiffs claim they initially tried to negotiate sample clearances through Alien Music Services before Vultures 1 was scheduled for release in March. However, discussions reportedly stalled in June due to the mass departure of employees from Yeezy.
The group is seeking damages for their alleged contribution to Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s song.
