Kanye West and Ludacris: copyright lawsuit
Add a comment

A New York judge has scheduled a Feb. 4 settlement conference between Ludacris, producer Kanye West and aspiring rap group I.O.F.

They will also come together to deal with the New Jersey group’s copyright-infringement lawsuit in April alleging that the two stole the hook for Ludacris’ "Stand Up" from them.

Judge Debra Freeman of the United States District Court, Southern District of New York will hear arguments from the group members who say they gave four demo tapes to Ludacris and West on separate occasions.

One of the records featured the song "Straight Like That," which was recorded in 2000 and has a chorus similar to that of "Stand Up," reports MTV.
