There were updates on an astonishing 3 seperate legal tussles over the last week involving rap icon, Kanye West.First,he was reported to have instituted an action at a Los Angeles superior court last Friday against recording company EMI and former label,Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella records.Details were sketchy as a result of the suit being redacted but the one clear thing acoording to Hollywood Reporters was
"There now exists a dispute between Plaintiffs and Defendant EMI regarding the parties' rights and obligations to one another under the EMI Contract and Extensions."
It is widely reported that West is accusing both companies of ripping him off.
On the other hand,Japanese fabric company Toki-Sen has sued West for materials supplied for his Yeezy sneakers.West was said to have made a large order to which the company demanded an up-front payment.He promised to do that at a later date and the goods were delivered based on previous successful transactions between the 2 parties but 'Ye turned round to say he wasn't paying.Toki-Sen is demanding $624k.

The final instalment of the Kanye legal drama involves a class action filed by a fan, Justin Baker-Rhett who claims Kanye West's statement before the release of his 'The Life Of Pablo' album saying it was going to be exclusively on Jay-Z's Tidal was deceptive and amounted to consumer fraud as the album has since gone on to be released on iTunes and Spotify.Not helping matters was the fact that Tidal was facing financial struggles and was at the brink of collapse before the album dropped.Kanye's argument was that the version of TLOP on other platforms was one on which he had made some changes to and that only Tidal had the original version.
During the week,a representative speaking on behalf of Kanye said the matter has been settled amicably out of court.
Suing must have been fruitful for the fan.
