Rapper – now known as Ye – used portions of Summer’s 1977 disco classic on his song Good (Don’t Die) with Ty Dolla $ign
Rapper – now known as Ye – used portions of Summer’s 1977 disco classic on his song Good with Ty Dolla $ignhave reached a settlement over the alleged copyright infringement of Summer’s 1977 song I Feel Love on the song Good from the rapper’s 2024 album Vultures 1, a collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign.
In February, Summer’s widow Bruce Sudano filed a lawsuit claiming that the rappers did not have permission to sample the disco classic. The suit claimed that Ye had “shamelessly used instantly recognisable portions” of the song despite having been “explicitly denied” permission to do so. “Summer’s estate … wanted no association with West’s controversial history and specifically rejected West’s proposed use,” her lawyers wrote. “In the face of this rejection, defendants arrogantly and unilaterally decided they would simply steal I Feel Love and use it without permission.” The song was pulled from streaming platforms.
On 20 June, lawyers for both parties said that they had “entered into a settlement agreement that is a full and final settlement of all of the claims in the action” and that each party would pay its own legal bills.that the agreement did not allow Ye to use Summer’s music in the future. “We did not license the song,” said Stein. “As part of the settlement, they have agreed not to distribute or otherwise use the song. So we got what we wanted.
