Just last year the 40-year-old reached a settlement with a Hungarian rock singer who sued the hip-hop artist for sampling his song on the 2013 track New Slaves without permission.

Terms of the settlement were not disclosed, but musician Gabor Presser, who described himself as a 'living legend' in Hungary, said: 'I am very glad it is over.'

Presser's $2.5million lawsuit claimed 85 seconds of his 1969 song 'Gyongyhaju Lany,' which he wrote while he was a keyboardist in the band Omega, was used without permission or royalties.
