This would be tough news for any artist to hear, to learn that your album must be recalled during it’s opening week because of a simple sample clearance issue. It turns out that there is a uncleared Martin Luther King Jr. sample on the album, and since the family estate was unable to come to a compromise with the label, all CDs must be recalled.
Here’s what Tyga told V-103′s Greg Street:
“Basically, [the stores and label] recalled them,” he explained. “I’m looking on my Twitter and fans are hitting me up all day like, posting pictures of [the album] and they have some in stores, but then they have a piece of paper next to them saying ‘Recalled – can’t sell.’ I’m like, ‘Yo, this is crazy.’ My fans are going crazy, like, ‘I have it in my hand, I’m thinking about just stealing it, but I wanna buy it though,’ and I’m like, ‘Nah, just go back tomorrow,’ so they’re going to get a lot shipped today [Monday February 20], and it’ll be in stores tomorrow.”
