Kanye West is facing a copyright lawsuit over allegations that his song ‘Life Of The Party’ samples Boogie Down's 'South Bronx’ without permission.

The lawsuit alleges that West initially sought permission to sample ‘South Bronx’ in July of last year, but retracted this request in November 2021, after both parties failed to agree upon an authorised use of the song. By that point, the rapper had already released ‘DONDA’, which arrived alongside its deluxe songs in August 2021.

The lawsuit cites ‘Life Of The Party’’s “exact reproduction” of the ‘South Bronx’ horn hits, melodic figures and drum fills as evidence of infringement. The lawsuit also claims that West and his team used ‘Life Of The Party’ to promote both ‘DONDA’ and the Stem Player, and requests that further usage of the song be blocked.


The ‘South Bronx’ lawsuit comes amid a slew of other legal battles aimed at West in recent months. Earlier this year, he faced two lawsuits pertaining to ‘DONDA’ copyright infringement on the songs ‘Flowers’ and ‘Come to Life’. His ‘Flowers‘ case is in limbo after law firm asked for permission to stop representing Kanye.
In July, West was sued by an LA production company over claims of unpaid fees relating to his ‘Donda 2’ livestream and his cancelled Coachella 2022 appearance, among other events.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who’s felt this. I just never brought it up because I’d feel uncomfortable telling someone on the Internet what to do :diane:
