Kanye West is reportedly being sued for copyright infringement over his 2007 smash hit “Stronger.” According to reports, a Virginia man by the name of Vincent Peters filed the lawsuit yesterday, June 25th. Vincent, a hip-hop artist known professionally as “Vince P.,” claims that he gave a copy of his version of “Stronger” to West’s business manager John Monopoly, hoping to convince Monopoly to become an executive producer on his album project. Then, seven months after his record deal fell through, West released his single, also named “Stronger” on his album “Graduation.” West’s song allegedly “copies significant and important parts of Peters’ lyrics identically or almost identically,” Peters claims in the suit. If you recall, “Stronger” won a grammy and was one of the most successful songs Kanye has released to date. The question is, after 3 years, does it matter??
