On May 6, 2026, during the ongoing copyright trial related to his album 'Donda,' Kanye West (professionally known as Ye) lightened the atmosphere by jokingly asking his attorney about the real name of his song 'Brothers in Paris.' This song, a collaboration with Jay-Z from their 2011 album 'Watch the Throne,' won two Grammy Awards in 2013. The trial stems from a lawsuit filed by four producers who allege that West used an uncleared sample from their song 'MSD PT2' in a demo version of 'Hurricane,' which was played during his 2021 listening event at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The plaintiffs are seeking damages from the profits generated during this event, including ticket sales and a $750,000 livestream deal with Apple Music. In February 2026, a judge dismissed most claims, ruling that the plaintiffs only owned the recording rights, not the composition rights. During his testimony, West denied the allegations, asserting that he always gives appropriate credits and royalties, and expressed his belief that people are trying to exploit him due to his fame.
