<\/p>\n
Kanye West<\/strong>‘s new take on the Backstreet Boys’ hit “Everybody” has been getting a ton of buzz, but there’s one massive problem … Ye never cleared it with the boy band.<\/p>\n Sources connected to BSB tell TMZ Kanye failed to get the collective OK from Nick<\/strong>, Kevin<\/strong>, Howie<\/strong>, Brian<\/strong>, A.J.<\/strong> and their team to use the 1997 classic.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In Kanye’s version<\/strong>, you can hear the original song and chorus before Ty Dolla Sign<\/strong> takes over, singing the original lyrics from “Everybody.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Of course, not clearing the song creates an interesting challenge for Kanye considering he’s supposed to release his album this week and the song is a listed track. Not to mention, he’s played it out in public in Miami, promoted it on social media and pumped it through the speakers at his album listening event<\/strong> in Miami Monday night.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So by all counts … it seemed like Kanye was planning to have it on his “Vultures” album.<\/p>\n We don’t know if Kanye reached out and was denied usage of the track or whether he just never asked at all … but either way, it ain’t good for Ye.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kanye’s been the center of controversy for months, with his antisemitic remarks — expressing his love for Hitler — and dangerous social media rants. As we reported, Ye wore a black KKK-style hood Monday night at his public event.<\/p>\n Obviously, a lot of artists have distanced themselves from Kanye … and it’ll be interesting to see his chances of locking down clearance for additional tracks in the future.<\/p>\n
