Kanye West Facing $2.5 Million Lawsuit Over “New Slaves”

    A Hungarian composer is suing Kanye West for $2.5 million, claiming that the rapper used one of his songs on “New Slaves” without his permission.

    TMZ reports the news that Gabor Presser is taking Yeezy to court for the cut from Yeezus and says that West asked permission to use the song “Gyöngyhajú Lány,” which is performed by the group Omega.

    However, Presser says that a formal deal was never finalized. West sent him a $10,000 check for the rights to the song, but he never cashed the money.

    1. This guy is the biggest fraud ever, followed by Drake. He has over a 100 ghostwriters in the studio and calls himself GENIUS.

    2. Wait im confused, so Kanye asked permission to use the song, but a “formal deal was never finalized” (whatever that means) and Kanye even sent him a 10,000 check, (assuming around 3 years ago when the album came out) but the guy never cashed out the check. And so 3 years after the release of the song, the guy is now suing for 2.5 million??????????!!!?!?!?!?1?!!!!!?!?1??? What the fuck is wrong with people nowadays? Bunch of greedy bastards. Leave Kanye alone.

      1. that’s correct, welcome to the new world order…get down or lay down bitches….6god is in the house…..drakeislovedrakeislife!!!!!!

      2. just cause he sent him a check, doesnt mean the guy agreed to sell him the rights to the song. Seems like kanye was like “fuck yourself, im using your record” and sent him money. Guy was smart to not cash the check, dumbass fucking kanye.

    3. Marc Jacobs has great influence on Kanye. He made him ripp off that song. Jacobs is obsessed with a Hungarian designer named Angel Barta. He’s been copying her work for 8 years. She exposed the truth via her blogspot at styleangelique blogspot com

    4. “This guy is the biggest fraud ever, followed by Drake. He has over a 100 ghostwriters in the studio and calls himself GENIUS.”

    5. Gábor Presser is a brilliant composer and one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century in his home country, he has been in two supergroups and produced fantastic albums for similar quality artists over his five decade long career. And he’s totally right on this one. Kanye’s going to lose, the only question is how much he has to pay at the end.
