In June, Pusha T and Ye were reportedly sued after they allegedly failed to clear a sample that was used on the album. FAME Enterprises Inc. filed a case against the rappers, claiming that they didn’t give the pair permission to use ‘I Can’t Do Without You’ by George Jackson on the track ‘Come Back Baby’.
In the lawsuit, the company stated that Pusha T wouldn’t have been allowed to use the song on the record because ‘Come Back Baby’ is “about drug addiction and the money made from selling drugs”. FAME’s lawyers also added that “the worldwide rights to the sound recording ‘I Can’t Do Without You’ are 100% owned by FAME”.
