I sent them some stuff just hoping to just do a collaboration of some kind. And I got an email the day before“0 to 100/The Catch Up” came out. And it just said, hey we're using this beat you made from like four years ago. I only sent it as a collaborative idea, not to be sampled on a record. Hey we're using this. Just quickly send me your approval so we can just put it out. I was like no, so I got them to take it off.

I remember having a conversation with my publisher later, and saying: What did you think of that decision? Because you know that was a massive album. I asked how much money exactly I turned down by doing that. I spat out my drink. But I could have made far more money if I had taken certain opportunities, or gone to the right parties. And actually, I a little bit regretted, because it is good, it sounds good on the track. I just did it as a matter of principle at the time. I really liked it. And I think had they come to me beforehand and said we really want to use this what do you think I probably would have said yes.

Just because someone has an impressive amount of clout and a global platform, I don't give a shit about that, I just want to make good music with people. And it was good music. But just ask me. And you know I'm over it. If anything, I could actually do with the track being out, I did like it, but I don't regret the decision. For anybody who wondered why a version of that came out and then never made it to the record, that's why.
