KANYE WEST HIT WITH A LAWSUIT

TMZ reports that a lawsuit was filed in Maryland District Court by Dayna Staggs (aka D'Mystro) against Kanye West -- and his record label, Roc-a-Fella -- for copyright infringement.


Staggs maintains that West "didn't obtain a license to use 'Volume of Good Life'" for his tune, and points out that Kanye was "only at the age of 6 or 7 years of age" when his song was written. D'Mystro is also peeved because Kanye's song "contains vulgar and offensive" images and "harms the reputation" of his much cleaner song. He wants 85% of all world sales of the proceeds from the music that uses his work, though he doesn't explain how he came up with that number.

WTF?????
