専門名「Ye」としても知られるカニエ・ウェスト氏は、水曜日にロサンゼルスの連邦地方裁判所で証言を行った。同氏は、2021年のアルバム「Donda」に収録された2曲の初期バージョンにおいて、未許可のサンプルが使用されたとする疑惑について反論した。今回の証言は、リリース前のリスニングパーティーで流されたデモ録音を焦点とする限定的な裁判の一環として行われた。
Ye氏は陪審員に対し、自身のチームはインストゥルメンタル曲「MSD PT2」をライセンス化するために標準的な手続きを踏んだと述べた。同氏は自身をクレジットやロイヤリティに対して寛大な人物だと説明し、「人々にふさわしい対価を支払うことに誇りを持っている」と語った。また、多くのクリエイターが他のアーティスト以上に自分から報酬を求めようとすると指摘し、「多くの人が自分を利用しようとしているように感じる」と付け加えた。
