Kanye West is taking legal action after his music was leaked online.

According to the legal papers, West claims one of the alleged perpetrators — who is referred to as Does — is an Instagram user with the handle @daunreleasedgod_ who has "repeatedly" leaked music by multiple artists unlawfully. The fashion designer also alleged a Twitter account named DaUnreleasedGod illegally distributed his music this year from June to August.

Per the filing, West claimed he "suffered significant financial losses and damages as a direct result of the Defendants. In addition, the Defendant's actions amount to the theft of a trade secret. Ye's musical composition, with its distinctive arrangement and unique elements, constitutes a trade secret due to its economic value, secrecy and the efforts taken to safeguard it."

However, West claimed that the defendants "wrongfully took, without permission or authority from Ye" when allegedly releasing tracks like "We Did it Kid," "Jail," "Broken Road," and "Mr. Miyagi."

West also went on to claim the Instagram account leaked an unauthorized video from his private listening party in Las Vegas, as well as his full mini documentary.
