The King of Pop’s estate is NOT happy! 🛑 Michael Jackson’s team just confirmed Sexyy Red’s "Beat It" remix is completely unauthorized. Will the rapper be forced to pull the song? Get the full story on the legal drama. #SexyyRed #MichaelJackson
Michael Jackson Estate slams Sexyy Red: Hit song sample is unauthorized
Story Highlights
The Michael Jackson estate confirmed on July 15, 2025, that Sexyy Red did not receive permission to sample “Beat It” for her new song. A spokesperson for the estate described the use as unauthorized after the St. Louis rapper shared a snippet of the explicit cover online.
Image Credit: Getty CompositeSexyy Red recently shocked social media by previewing a bold and explicit version of the 1983 hit. The rapper delivered her lyrics over the legendary instrumental, sparking immediate viral debate among music fans.
The estate of the King of Pop quickly distanced itself from the project following the online buzz. Many fans wondered if the legendary estate had softened its strict stance on licensing his catalog.
Estate claims zero knowledge
Journalist Loren Lorosa broke the news after speaking directly with a representative for the Jackson estate. The spokesperson made it clear that the team had no prior contact with the rapper.
”We were totally unaware of this. The use of the music is unauthorized.” The spokesperson told Lorosa.
The estate reportedly expressed significant unhappiness regarding the nature of the cover. This move follows a period of transition for other artists, such as when Ye delayed his Bully release date due to separate business hurdles.
Explicit lyrics spark “Beat It” dispute
The remix features Sexyy Red’s signature raw style and sexually charged lyrics. She flipped the classic “just beat it” hook into a command for her partner to “just eat it” instead.
The snippet includes lines about her pussy acting right and her being super tight. These lyrics stand in stark contrast to the original song’s message about walking away from a fight.
This legal friction arrives as the industry watches major collaborations closely. Red recently faced another hurdle when Nicki Minaj rejected a Drake collaboration that would have featured the St. Louis star.

Ye delays ‘Bully’ release: New launch date confirmed after major deal
Story Highlights
Ye has pushed back the release of his upcoming album Bully to March 20, 2026. This delay follows his recent signing of a partnership deal with the independent music company Gamma. The project was previously scheduled to drop on Friday, January 30, before the sudden change.
Image Credit: Brad Barket/Getty Images for Fast CompanyYe fans must wait a bit longer to hear his latest work. The rapper has delayed his Bully album after securing a new business partnership.
Rolling Stone reported the schedule change on Wednesday, January 28, 2026. The LP will now arrive on March 20 instead of this Friday.
A strategic shift
This schedule change stems directly from Ye’s new deal with Gamma. The independent music powerhouse now counts the Chicago native among its partners.
Gamma boasts an impressive roster of top-tier talent. The company currently houses artists such as Sexyy Red, Rick Ross, and French Montana.
Music legend Mariah Carey is also part of the Gamma family. Ye joins this lineup as he prepares to unveil his twelfth solo studio effort.
Project details and history
Ye first announced Bully to the world last September. He described the project as a concept album during the initial reveal.
Most of the recording sessions took place in Tokyo, Japan. The artist found inspiration for the new sound within the vibrant city.
Visuals have played a key role in the rollout so far. Last March, Ye shared a short film directed by Hype Williams.
That clip featured songs expected to appear on the final tracklist. However, it remains unclear if those specific tracks made the final cut.
The road to release has seen multiple false starts. The album was originally supposed to drop last June but faced several delays.
Recent public moves
This news arrives just days after a significant public gesture. Ye placed an ad in The Wall Street Journal to address past controversies.
He apologized to Jewish and Black communities for previous comments. In the text, Ye links antisemitism to brain damage while explaining his past behaviour.
Critics questioned the timing of this public statement. However, Ye insists plea is not a PR move designed to promote his music.
