Donna Summer’s Estate Settles With Kanye West Over Sample Use | Entertainment


Donna Summer’s estate has reached a settlement with Kanye West over his “blatant theft” of the late singer’s song, ‘I Feel Love.’ Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s album ‘Vultures 1,’ upon release, featured a track titled ‘Good (Don’t Die).’ The track only existed on the album for a few days before it was taken down by all streaming platforms for copyright infringement. ‘Good (Don’t Die)’ featured a sample of Summer’s biggest hit, ‘I Feel Love,’ even though the estate “expressly refused permission.” According to the estate’s lawyer, the final settlement is expected to be executed soon. The estate also warned that if the case is not resolved shortly, they “intend to diligently prosecute.”
