Courtney Love tells Huffington Post that she gave Jay-Z permission to use lyrics from Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" on the rapper's new album, Magna Carta Holy Grail.

Love told Huffington Post:

I'm letting Jay-Z use lyrics-- [daughter] Frances would freak [if she knew this.] Jay-Z's huge and we're friends. I mean we're not besties or anything.... They [used the lyrics] without asking, which is kind of nervy but the business side has been taken care of so it's fine.

Magna Carta Holy Grail will be released July 4 via an app on Samsung Galaxy phones. For the app, Samsung purchased one million advance copies of the album for its customers. Today Billboard confirmed that those "sales" will not count towards the Billboard 200 chart.

Love, who is currently on a solo tour of the U.S., told Huffington Post that her new solo LP will be out around Christmas, as will her autobiography. She plans to work with an indie label on its release. "Look at Queens of the Stone Age and Matador," she said. "If you were to tell me in the past that Matador would have a Number 1 record, I would’ve laughed."
