Kanye West's upcoming album 'Vultures' has sparked controversy as he used the Backstreet Boys' 1997 hit 'Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)' in a new song without their approval. Representatives for the Backstreet Boys and Max Martin have not commented on the matter. The joint album with Ty Dolla Sign, set to release on Friday, also features collaborations with artists like Lil Baby, Chris Brown, and Offset. The legalities around the song's use are more complicated than they might seem.
