In other news, the rapper allegedly used a sample of Michael's 1985 hit single in his track Enchanted Waterfall taken from his 2021 album Alone at Prom, even after permission was denied.
A statement issued to Variety on behalf of the George Michael estate and Ridgeley reads in part "Requested permission for this use had been declined in June 2021 so we took immediate action on behalf of the writers in collaboration with our publishers Warner Chappell Music, to prevent further exploitation as we will not tolerate any unauthorised use of any songs within the catalogues of George Michael and/or Andrew Ridgeley.”
