“Get that yeezy money from him”: Internet reacts as Kanye West faces lawsuit over unauthorized use of Donna Summer’s edited sample in Vultures 1

Kanye West again became controversial after Donna Summer filed a lawsuit against the rapper for unauthorized usage of one of her songs. As per People, the Hot Stuff singer is suing West along with Ty Dolla $ign claiming that her song, I Feel Live, was used by the two without her permission on their track, Good (Don’t Die.)

Summer claimed that the Vultures 1 song used parts of her song "shamelessly." Her complaint stated:

"Despite this denial, Defendants shamelessly used instantly recognizable portions of Summer’s hit song. The musicians arrogantly and unilaterally decided they would simply steal the song."

As per reports, the complaint has been filed by Bruce Sudano, the second husband of Donna Summer, on behalf of the singer. Apart from Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign, he also named Yeezy Record Label, LLC Yzy Snd and 10 Does in the complaint.

As soon as the news appeared on social media, internet users began reacting to it. One social media user also said:
