Acclaimed rap artist Kanye West has been hit with a copyright infringement suit filed by Baker & Hostetler on behalf of musician DJ Khalil and three other artists over use of their work on his 2021 album “Donda.”
The complaint, filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, alleges West used the plaintiffs’ composition as the “heart, melody and soul” of two songs, “Hurricane” and “Moon,” even though authorization for its use had been denied.
