As reported by The Blast, Ye’s lawyers will amend the suit to include the defendant’s name once they are identified.
“The Defendant, without authorization, license, or permission from Ye, improperly leaked, published and distributed multiple Listed Compositions including but not limited to the following found on ‘Instagram’ and ‘X’ (formerly known as Twitter),” the suit reads. “… Ye’s musical composition, with its distinctive arrangement and unique elements, constitutes a trade secret due to its economic value, secrecy, and the efforts taken to safeguard it.”
According to the complaint, the unauthorized distribution caused “substantial harm” to Kanye’s “work, reputation, and potential income.” It also alleges that he “suffered significant financial losses and damages” as a result of the leaks, which took place between March and August 2023.
