Kanye West filed a lawsuit for unauthorized samples.
German singer Alice Merton sought Kanye West to use his song blindside without permission in a gun on his head.

German singer-songwriter Ellis Marten has filed a case against Kanye West, also known as U, to use his song blindside without permission in his track gun, on my head. The song characterized by Kid QD was released in 2024 and attracted attention. According to the USA Today report, Marten refused to request Tu to use his song, but he moved forward and released it anyway.
Marton, who became famous with the 2016 hit No Roots, refused to allow the sample due to the controversial behavior of Tu.
According to the USA Today, he told the team that “the values of the artist are contrary to our values”.
The direct descendants of the Holocost survivors said that she did not want to be connected to you due to her ‘antisementary, racist comment’. In recent years, you have shared online aggressive ideas, including antisemitic comments on X that admire the Nazi swastika symbol and claim that Jews are incredible.
The case filed in California suggests that when the gun on my head was not included in its 2024 album vultures, your fans were upset.
He convicted Marten for not cleaning the sample and started harassing him.
The filing stated, “These fans were tireless, threatening Merton, they should not clarify the sample.” Due to these dangers, Marten feared returning to America for the visits of the tour and even worried about possible violence or confrontation, stopped performing blindly in concerts. The complaint also says that you did nothing to stop your fans from targeting him.
His lawyers told USA Today in a statement on Thursday, “Ms. Merton dismissed continuous efforts by U and her team to use a sample of her song blindside.” The gun on my head is still available online in many places, despite its objections. Marten are now demanding loss and a jury trial is requested to solve the issue.
