The song is at the center of a lawsuit filed by the record company that owns a famous track by KRS- One According to legal documents obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, the company says it owns the copyright to BDP's "South Bronx" and that Ye didn't get permission to sample the song when he released the "Donda" bonus track on the Stem Player. The company says Ye and his partner sold around 11K Stem Players within the first 24 hours of its release, raking in around $2.2 million dollars, but they never got permission to use the sample. According to the suit, the sides never came to an agreement and Ye eventually withdrew his offer to license it. The suit claims that Ye & Co. still heavily advertised the track that used the "South Bronx" sample to promote "Donda" and the Stem Player" Drake leaked the song before J Prince and his band played a concert. The company wants Ye and Co. to give back any profits they make from the song. KRS was told many times that the style was great.
