Kanye West cites Nietzsche while fighting claim he stole the song "Stronger"

Kanye West has denied a legal claim that alleges he copied the lyrics to his hit “Stronger” from another songwriter, claiming he was inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche. Yeezy’s lawyers are contesting the claim from the plaintiff, Vincent Rogers, because both of their songs are influenced by the 19th century German philosopher’s maxim: “That which does not kill us make stronger.” Both “Stronger” and the track by Rogers use the dictum from Nietzsche, as well as having the same title and making reference to supermodel Kate Moss. Thoughts?
