KANYE WEST SUED BY PASTOR OVER “COME TO LIFE”

Kanye West is being sued. The Hip-Hop icon is being dragged to court over using a sample from a pastor.

Bishop David Paul Moten, a pastor in Texas, claims ‘Yeezy’ sampled his sermon without getting permission. He claims Kanye filled out the song “Come To Life” with audio from one of his religious speeches.

In documents obtained by TMZ, the pastor claims his sermon is used for 70 seconds of the 5-minute, 10-second track, which comes out to more than 20% of the song. He notes his voice and sermon are used in the song’s intro and looped throughout the track, and is the latest example of the music industry “willfully and egregiously sampling sound recordings of others without consent or permission.”

The pastor is also suing UMG Recordings, Def Jam Recordings and G.O.O.D Music, going after all of them for unspecified damages. Stay tuned for an update in the legal case.

Until the next time it drips…
