Topic: Kanye West – Vincent Peters
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Kanye West is using the words of 19thcentury philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche to make his case in court.
The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals is considering whether to uphold the dismissal of a 2010 claim that the rapper stole the song “Stronger” from another artist.
Plaintiff Vincent Peters, in addition to claiming similarity in the use of “Kate Moss” and the title “Stronger,” zeroes in on alleged similarities in the chorus. Both sides acknowledge the lyrics are based on Nietzsche’s phrase, “That which does not kill us makes us stronger.”
