The plaintiffs allege that ‘Fuk Sumn‘, a track from the album ‘Vultures 1‘, illegally samples their work without proper credit or compensation.

The song, released in March, opens with a country rap sample before transitioning into its main beat.

Kanye, who is reportedly preparing to release a new album, has not yet responded to the allegations.
