Kanye West & Pusha T Facing Lawsuit For “Come Back Baby” Sample

In the filing, where UMG Recordings, Def Jam, and G.O.O.D. Music are named as codefendants, FAME states that over 35 percent of the ‘Come Back baby” creation makes use of “unauthorized, unlicensed samples of ‘I Can’t Do Without You,'” primarily focusing on the use of the following lyrics:

Never have I been locked up in a world of misery
I need you darlin’ to set me free
Come back, baby, try me one more time
Ooh, baby, I’m ’bout to go out of my mind
I can’t—

They go on to add that the “Come Back Baby” record is “about drug addiction and the money made from selling drugs,” and that they would not have agreed to license the original track “for such a use under any circumstances.”
