AceShowbiz - Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign were sued by Criminal Manne, DJ Squeeky and the estate of late rapper Kilo G over "Fuk Sumn". The two rappers were accused of incorporating unauthorized samples from DJ Squeeky's "Drank a Yak (Part 2)" and Kilo G's lyrics.
The plaintiffs claimed that they attempted to negotiate sample clearances through Alien Music services in March. However, Ye's team allegedly stalled negotiations in June following the departure of several high-level executives from Ye's record label Yeezy.
