It looks like Kanye West is starting to get himself out of legal hot water!
The rapper, who had been sued for copyright infringement by the children of David Pryor after allegedly illegally sampling a portion of Pryor’s hit song “Bumpin’ Bus Stop” for “Gold Digger,” has reached a settlement, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, the lawsuit “has been conditionally settled but that certain conditions of the settlement have not been fully performed.”
