Kanye West vittnar i upphovsrättsrättegång i Los Angeles

Kanye West, numera känd som Ye, intog vittnesbåset i en upphovsrättstvist i centrala Los Angeles på onsdagen. Han svarade på frågor gällande ett påstått olicensierat samplingsprov som använts i hans låt Hurricane.

Artisten visade tydlig irritation under vittnesmålet. Han förblev tyst när han hälsades av motpartens juridiska ombud efter en lunchpaus och svarade på många frågor med ett monotont Jag minns inte. Rättegången kretsar kring anklagelser om att Ye är skyldig mer än en halv miljon dollar för att ha använt ett samplingsprov från låten MSD PT2 utan tillstånd vid ett lyssningsmingel i Atlanta 2021.
