Controversy’s favourite child, rapper Kanye West has landed into another trouble. He is being taken to court by the late Donna Summer’s estate. The late singer’s estate has alleged that he used a sample of the singer’s hit song without permission.

Kanye, Ty Dolla $ign, Ye’s record label, and more are allegedly being sued by the estate for using Donna’s 1977 song I Feel Love, according to legal documents. The Gold Digger rapper released his first album in his Vultures 1 compilation earlier this month. Donna’s estate claims that the album’s song Good (Don’t Die) included vocals of the late disco diva after the estate “explicitly denied” them permission, according to the suit.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
