Kanye West’s legal troubles continue as Donna Summer’s estate has sued the rapper for copyright infringement after he allegedly interpolated her song “I Feel Love” without permission.

Ye and Ty Dolla $ign are being sued for their song “Good (Don’t Die)” off their joint album “Vultures 1,” according to a lawsuit filed in California on Tuesday and obtained by TheWrap. West’s labels Yeezy and YZY SND are also named.

The rappers are accused of not only sampling “I Feel Love” for their February album without permission, but Summer’s husband Bruce Sudano claims her estate explicitly denied the pair’s initial request — and they still used it anyway.
