Uh, oh!
Virginia rapper Vince P. is suing Kanye West for copyright infringement saying that some of the lyrics of ‘Nye’s hit song “Stronger” were stolen from him!
Vincent Peters says that he wrote and recorded a song called “Stronger” that West had access to through his manager John Monopoly, who had heard Peters’ “Stronger” back in 2006.
Seven months after Vince P. submitted the song to Monopoly, Kanye released his version.
The lawsuit says that Kanye’s version “copies significant and important parts of Peters’ lyrics identically or almost identically” including the lyrics “What don’t kill me make me stronger” and “couldn’t wait no longer” which sound a lot like Kanye’s “That don’t kill me can only make me stronger” and “I can’t wait much longer.”
Both songs also refer to supermodel Kate Moss of all people.
The lawsuit is asking the defendants to stop reproducing, selling, distributing and publicly performing the song as well as giving up all profits from the record.
Sounds a bit suspicious to us!
What do U think?
