Kanye sued over ‘New Slaves’ song
NEW YORK – Kanye West is being sued in New York City by a Hungarian musician who says West sampled his song without permission.
Gabor Presser says West’s 2013 album “Yeezus” contains a song called “New Slaves” that sampled a song Presser wrote in 1969.
Presser’s lawsuit was filed in Manhattan federal court. It says one-third of “New Slaves” includes a song Presser wrote when he was with the band Omega. He’s seeking $2.5 million.
