Headline: Kanye West sued for copyright amid anti-semitism row

Caption:

The case is brought by Alice Merton, who denied the use of a sample due to the rapper's antisemitism. Merton's lawsuit accuses West of using a sample of her song Blindside without permission in his song Gun To My Head, a collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign and Kid Cudi. West's song features Merton's vocals singing the line, "I sat down with a gun to my head," which is the opening line of Blindside, and replays a melody phrase from the tune throughout most of the song, Merton's lawsuit claims.
