Kanye West is facing legal action from record label executives who allege the rapper used music samples on his 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy without permission.
Executives at the TufAmerica label claim West sampled parts of a song called Hook and Sling, Part 1 by pianist Eddie Bo in his tracks Who Will Survive In America? and Lost in the World, as well as the video for Runaway.
They filed a lawsuit at Manhattan Federal Court in New York claiming bosses at West's Roc-A-Fella label and its parent company Universal Music Group paid a license fee to use a portion of the track, but failed to settle the necessary agreements for other uses of the sample.
TufAmerica executives are seeking damages for copyright infringement, according to Billboard.com.
