Although it appears that Kanye West acted in good faith in trying to clear a sample used in his 2013 song, "New Slaves," he's been hit with a lawsuit.
TMZ reports that West reached out to Gabor Presser to secure the rights to use a portion of "Gyöngyhajú lány" (The girl with pearly hair). A song Presser composed in 1969 for the band Omega.
Presser said he gave his permission, contingent on receiving a formal deal. West sent the composer a $10,000 advance and listed him as one of the song's writers, but Presser says he never cashed the check.
He has now taken the matter to court and is asking that West be ordered to cough up at least $2.5 million.
