Kanye West, now known as Ye, took the witness stand in a copyright infringement case in downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday. He faced questions about an alleged unlicensed sample used in his song Hurricane.
The artist showed visible irritation during testimony. He remained silent when greeted by opposing counsel after a lunch break and responded to many questions with a monotone I do not recall. The case centers on claims that Ye owes more than half a million dollars for using a sample from the track MSD PT2 without clearance at a 2021 listening event in Atlanta.
