Donna Summer's family has reached a settlement with Kanye West over his sampling of 'I Feel Love' even though 'permission was explicitly denied'
and Ty Dolla $ign over their alleged “blatant theft” of Summer’s indelible disco hit “I Feel Love,” a new court filing obtained byIn a status report filed Wednesday in federal court in Los Angeles, a lawyer for Summer’s estate said the parties reached a “global settlement” on May 3 and started gathering signatures this week to officially resolve the copyright infringement lawsuit filed by Summer’s estate in February.
A spokesman for West did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday. “I intend to protect Donna’s copyright,” Summer’s widowerIn the 16-page complaint, Sudano accused West and Ty Dolla $ign, whose legal name is Tyrone Griffin Jr., of “arrogantly and unilaterally” deciding to “simply steal” Summer’s Seventies classic after they sought, but were “explicitly denied,” permission to use it. The complaint said the estate “wanted no association with West’s controversial history.
“In the face of this rejection, defendants arrogantly and unilaterally decided they would simply steal ‘I Feel Love’ and use it without permission,” the lawsuit said. The filing accused the songwriters of re-recording “almost verbatim” the most “memorable portions” of Summer’s song, using the material as the hook for their own song, and releasing their infringing track “knowing they had tried and failed to secure legal permission.
“Kanye West asked permission to sample a section of a 1983 live performance of ‘Iron Man’ from the Us Festival without vocals & was refused permission because he is an antisemite and has caused untold heartache to many,” in capital letters in a post on X. “He went ahead and used the sample anyway at his album listening party last night. I want no association with this man!”. “With the current state of affairs, you don’t need anybody starting people on discrimination of any kind,” he said.
