Summer Walker Wishes Alicia Keys Clears Sample For YTB Fatt

Arkansas rapper YTB Fatt’s track “Secrets” has been removed from various streaming platforms due to the unauthorized use of a sample from Alicia Keys’ 2003 song “Diary.”. Singer Summer Walker has intervened on behalf of YTB Fatt and requested that the song be reinstated. She commented on a post by Neighborhood Talk, saying, “Wow, that was my new favourite song; @aliciakeys put it back.”. However, it’s unclear whether Alicia Keys has responded to this issue.

Recently, the legality and ethics of sampling in music have become a topic of concern. One such instance is the ongoing lawsuit against Kanye West by the estate of Donna Summer for using an unauthorized sample from her legendary disco hit “I Feel Love” on his song “Good (Don’t Die)” from Vultures 1. The lawsuit alleges that West used a two-second snippet from the song without proper permission, which constitutes copyright infringement. Spotify initially removed the song from its platform but it was later re-uploaded with an interpolation instead of the original sample. However, Summer’s estate is still pursuing legal action, arguing that the interpolation, a re-recording of the original sample, is also a form of copyright infringement.

This isn’t the first time that Kanye West has faced such allegations. In 2013, he was accused of using an unauthorized sample of Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” by Ozzy Osbourne on his song “Who Will Survive in America” from the album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.” West’s team responded by arguing that the sample was too short and insignificant to be considered copyright infringement and that they had transformed it into something new. However, the issue was eventually settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.
