Kanye West Sued For his hit song ‘Gold Digger’ After Eight years of being released!!!






Eight years after the release of KANYE WEST‘s hit song, “Gold Digger,” the Chicago native is being hit with a copyright infringement lawsuit.

 Trena Steward and Lorenzo Pryor, children of deceased 1970′s singer, David Pryor , claim that Kanye used a brief sample from their father’s 1974 single, “Bus Stop.”
The suit claims that 13 seconds into “Golddigger,” KANYE’s line, “Get down girl, get down, get down,” is taken is allegedly PRYOR’s voice.
Steward and Pryor  have filed to have a judge stop the sale of, “Gold Digger,” as well as a “million of dollars” for damages.
