Ye Hit With Lawsuit
Kanye isn’t the only rapper being accused of sampling without consent.
As recently as last year, Madonna had come down from her throne to make sure she still gets her credit. The icon commented on an Instagram post Tory Lanez made promoting his music and told him he used her song illegally. Her comment read, “Read your messages for illegal usage of my song ‘Into The Groove.’
“Into the Groove,” written and produced by Madonna and Stephen Bray, was first featured in the 1985 film Desperately Seeking Susan, starring Madonna in the title role.
