Kanye West has reached a favorable resolution with Donna Summer’s estate, who sued the Yeezy rapper for his alleged use of the late singer’s voice on “Good (Don’t Die).”
Rolling Stone confirms that Summer’s widower, Bruce Sudano, reached a “global settlement” with Ye as of Wednesday (May 15). The settlement, which was initially proposed at the beginning of this month, is now awaiting signatures from all sides, according to documents filed in federal court.
However, if West reneges on the deal or the parties are unable to reach a satisfactory settlement, Sudano warns that he will continue to pursue legal action.
“Plaintiff anticipates that the final settlement agreement can be executed shortly, and soon thereafter, the parties will be in a position to file a stipulation for dismissal of the action in its entirety,” estate lawyer Stanton L. Stein put in his court filing. “In the unlikely event the parties are unable to conclude the settlement by June 14, 2024, plaintiff intends to diligently prosecute the action against all defendants. As such, plaintiff requests that dismissal not be entered at this time.”
Settlement terms were not disclosed in the latest filing.
