Kanye West has been sued over an allegedly uncleared sample on ‘Life Of The Party’, a track that featured on the deluxe edition of his ‘Donda’ album.A company called Phase One Network says that ‘Life Of The Party’ features a sample from a Boogie Down Productions track that it controls, that being ‘South Bronx’ from the KRS-One-led outfit’s 1987 album ‘Criminal Minded’.This particular ‘Donda’ track has already been on quite the adventure. Although it was previewed at those pre-release listening parties that West staged for the album in summer 2021, it didn’t appear on the original track listing when ‘Donda’ was finally released at the end of August that year.It transpired that it had been cut from the record at the request of guest artist Andre 3000.
The verse he’d contributed was quite sweary, but then West decided he wanted a swear free album, and Andre 3000 didn’t feel his verse would work with the swearing edited out.The track also featured a Drake-dissing verse by West, he and Drake being in the middle of a particularly tedious feud at the time. Drake then got hold of a copy and played it on his ‘Sound 42’ Sirius XM radio show.And once the song was out there, it was decided to make the track officially available via West’s Stem Player device in October 2021 and then on the deluxe edition of ‘Donda’ the following month.
And then it was released as a single. Fun times.But what about this fucking sample? Well, according to the lawsuit filed by Phase One Network, West’s team made an approach about licensing the ‘South Bronx’ sample in July 2021, but no agreement was reached before the release of ‘Donda’ and the arrival of ‘Life Of The Party’ on the Stem Player.

Akon recently claimed that Kanye West’s spate of antisemitic comments over the last few months are all an attempt to draw votes away from Donald Trump in the next US presidential election. But what if it was actually an attempt to appeal to Trump himself? West says that, at a meeting with the former President yesterday, he asked Trump to be his running mate in 2024.West tweeted that he had met Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, adding that he’d turned up late and inappropriately dressed. Still, this seemingly didn’t put him off making his big proposal.“First time at Mar-a-Lago”, he wrote.

Kanye West has been sued by LA-based accountant and business manager Thomas St John who says the rapper hired his company’s services earlier this year and then quickly bailed on the deal.According to The Blast, a new lawsuit claims that West hired St John’s firm TSJ to provide accounting, tax and general business management services. And by April this year, St John himself was being referred to by West’s associates as the rapper’s business manager and CFO of his Donda company.Given the business management gig would require quite a lot of set-up work by St John and his team, the TSJ chief said that he needed West to sign-up to a two year contract.
