In a recent turn of events, the late Donna Summer's estate has accused Kanye West of copyright infringement. According to a statement posted on Summer's official Instagram Story, West sought permission to use Summer's iconic song 'I Feel Love' but was denied. Despite the denial, West allegedly changed the lyrics, had someone re-sing it, or utilized AI to incorporate a version of the song into one of his new tracks. This move has spurred the team managing Donna Summer's art to cry foul, declaring it a clear case of copyright infringement.
The estate's social media post didn't stop there. They went a step further and tagged several official accounts, including those of Kanye West himself, Ty Dolla Sign, Warner Chappell Music, Universal Music Group, and even Sharon Osbourne. It seems that West's alleged use of an interpolation of Summer's 'I Feel Love' has caught the attention of not only Summer's estate but also the Osbourne family.
