Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, has lost a copyright lawsuit after artists accused him of infringing on their work by using an uncleared sample during a live performance.
Four musicians — Khalil Abdul Rahman, Sam Barsh, Dan Seeff and Josh Mease — claimed Ye incorporated their 2018 track “MSD PT2” in his song, “Hurricane,” during a listening party for his 10th studio album, Donda, held at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta in July 2021.
