Jay Z is being hit again with a lawsuit, this time with Kanye West over a copyright infringement on their bonus track on the Watch The Throne album The Joy.
The duo have now settled with veteran soul singer Syl Johnson, who sued them in October for using a sample of his song Different Strokes without authorisation.
Pete Rock who produced the track was also not happy as the sample was added on after he had finished producing it, and was not told about it. He took to Twitter afterwards to clear his name…
“just to clear the air about WTT,i never sampled that syl johnson record,if u sample syl u gotta show him sum respect and clear the sample.”
Jay Z is still facing a lawsuit for his track Big Pimpin by the nephew of Egyptian composer Baligh Hamdy over the rights to the hook which they claim he sampled.
