Donna Summer's estate sues Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign, accusing artists of illegally using "I Feel Love"

The estate of Donna Summer sued the artists Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, and Ty Dolla $ign on Tuesday for what its attorneys say is the "shamelessly" illegal use of her 1977 song "I Feel Love" in their collaboration "Good (Don't Die)."

The copyright infringement lawsuit was filed in federal court in Los Angeles by Summer's husband Bruce Sudano in his capacity as executor of the estate of the singer-songwriter and "Disco Queen," who died in 2012.

The suit alleges that when representatives of Ye sought permission for use of the song they were rejected because the Summer estate "wanted no association with West's controversial history."
