Kanye West is being sued over the lyrics to his mega hit song “Stronger”. The lawsuit also has some teeth to it.

According to the lawsuit, West had access to the original lyrics. A man named John Monopoly who doesn’t own either Boardwalk or Park Place was West’s business manager and received copies of the Stronger lyrics from Vincent Peters, of Leesburg, Virginia who recorded a song called “Stronger” in 2006.

When reviewing the lyrics, they are not identical but close enough to make one wonder whether the allegations are indeed true.

Chicago Breaking Business quotes Peters as saying, “Peters said his song included ‘What don’t kill me make me stronger,’ while West’s says ‘That don’t kill me can only make me stronger,’ the suit said. Another example, Peters alleges, is ‘couldn’t wait no longer,’ while West says, ‘I can’t wait much longer.’”

Both songs make reference to supermodel Kate Moss which also is very suspicious. The last piece of evidence is that both songs use the word “wronger” which is also an unusual word not used often in common language or lyrics.

As Ricky Ricardo from “I Love Lucy” may say, “You got some splainin’ to do.”
