Kanye West témoigne lors d'un procès pour droits d'auteur à Los Angeles

Kanye West, désormais connu sous le nom de Ye, a comparu mercredi à la barre des témoins dans le cadre d'une affaire de violation de droits d'auteur au centre-ville de Los Angeles. Il a dû répondre à des questions concernant un échantillon musical présumé sans licence utilisé dans sa chanson Hurricane.

L'artiste a montré une irritation visible durant son témoignage. Il est resté silencieux lorsqu'il a été salué par l'avocat de la partie adverse après la pause déjeuner et a répondu à de nombreuses questions d'un ton monotone par « Je ne me souviens pas ». L'affaire porte sur des allégations selon lesquelles Ye devrait plus d'un demi-million de dollars pour avoir utilisé sans autorisation un échantillon du morceau MSD PT2 lors d'une session d'écoute organisée en 2021 à Atlanta.
