A US court has upheld a 2015 ruling clearing American rapper Jay Z of copyright infringement for sampling Baligh Hamdi’s Khosara Khosara, which was originally written for Abdel Halim Hafez, for his 1999 hit Big Pimpin, Reuters reports. The California court ruled that Hamdy’s nephew, Osama Ahmed Fahmy, did not have legal standing to sue Jay Z and producer Timbaland over his uncle’s 1957 song.
