Kanye West Sued Over His Song Stronger

Kanye West is being accused of ripping off the song, Stronger and now the rap star is facing a major lawsuit.

In the papers filed in Illinois, Virginia, rapper Vincent "Vince P." Peters is alleging he sent West's manager, John Monopoly, his version of Stronger hoping Monopoly would executive produce his project. However Peters claims in 2007, only seven months later, Kanye's song Stronger was released and sounded very similar to his concept. Peters says his recording project also fell through.

Court papers, obtained by EatSleepCelebrity.com, state that Kanye's version "copies significant and important parts of Peter's lyrics identically or almost identically." In the documents, it also says that both versions of the song make reference to Kate Moss and the phrases "that which does not kill me makes me stronger," and "can't wait much longer" are also in both songs.

Roc-a-fella Records and UMG Recordings are named as defendants. The suit claims copyright infringement and asks that both labels be blocked from selling, distributing or having West perform the song.

Peters is seeking unspecified damages.
