Tory Lanez is being called out once again over an alleged unauthorized sample.

The George Michael estate claims that Lanez lifted Michael’s 1984 hit “Careless Whisper” without permission on his song “Enchanted Waterfall,” reports Variety. The song appears on Lanez’s ’80s-inspired album Alone at Prom, which was released in December.

Lanez’s request to sample “Careless Whisper” was reportedly denied in June 2021, but he decided to release “Enchanted Waterfall” anyway. The track was pulled from Spotify earlier this year, but it currently remains on Apple Music and YouTube.

“It was brought to our attention that the song ‘Enchanted Waterfall’ by the artist Tory Lanez incorporated an unauthorized sample of ‘Careless Whisper’ written by George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley,” the George Michael estate said in a statement.

“Requested permission for this use had been declined in June 2021 so we took immediate action on behalf of the writers, in collaboration with our publishers Warner Chappell Music, to prevent further exploitation as we will not tolerate any unauthorized use of any songs within the catalogues of George Michael and/or Andrew Ridgeley.”

Last year, Madonna accused Tory of ripping off her 1985 hit “Into the Groove” on another one of his Alone at Prom songs, “Pluto’s Last Comet.”

“Read your messages tor illegal usage of my song get into the groove!” the pop icon commented on one of Lanez’s Instagram posts in December, later telling Rolling Stone, “I am tired of being taken advantage of and I mean business.”

Tory has not responded to the unauthorized use accusations.

Coi Leray’s rumored collaboration with Nicki Minaj is coming to life.

The 24-year-old rapper has announced that her new single “Blick Blick” featuring the rap queen will hit streaming services on Friday, March 18.

“My new single ‘Blick Blick’ w| The QUEEN @Nickiminaj drops this FRIDAY 3/18,” Coi told fans.

A video has also been shot and is expected to debut alongside the song. Coi shared the first photo from the visual featuring her and Nicki, who are both seen toting colorful guns.

Last month, Coi’s father Benzino revealed that his daughter recorded a song with Minaj for her upcoming debut album. “Her album’s gonna be dope. She got this song with Nicki Minaj that’s gonna be coming out that’s gonna be crazy,” he said during a Clubhouse chat.

But after Benzino’s announcement, Nicki seemingly shut down the suggestion that she and Coi had a song coming out. “I don’t have a collab coming with anyone,” she wrote in an Instagram Story, explaining that she is focused on her own music. “Onika mode. Love you.”

Nicki previously showed her support and offered some words of encouragement for the “No More Parties” rapper.

Pete Davidson is paying tribute to Kim Kardashian with a new tattoo.

The “SNL” comedian has seemingly inked his girlfriend’s name on his chest. The new tattoo, which says “Kim” in black letters, appears in a shirtless selfie that Davidson sent to Kanye West amid their heated text exchange on Sunday.

Fans have speculated that Kim may have inked Davidson herself, suggesting that the tat looks like her handwriting.

The photo was revealed after Davidson’s friend and fellow comedian Dave Sirus posted screenshots from Davidson’s text conversation with Ye on social media.

“Yo it’s Skete. Can you please take a second and calm down. It’s 8am and it don’t gotta be like this,” Davidson told Ye before praising his girlfriend.

“Kim is literally the best mother I’ve ever met. What she does for those kids is amazing and you are so f**king lucky that she’s your kids mom,” he continued. “I’ve decided im not gonna let you treat us this way anymore and I’m done being quiet. Grow the f**k up.”

Ye eventually told Davidson to share his location. “Where are you right now?” he asked, prompting Davidson to respond with a selfie of himself under the covers. “In bed with your wife,” he wrote.

In a series of posts on Sunday, Ye called out Kim over their ongoing custody issues while bringing up Davidson’s text. “At this point, it’s going too far. The boyfriend texts me, antagonizing me, bragging about being in bed with my wife,” he said. “He texts me, talking about bragging about how he’s in bed with my wife. And it’s like, well, who’s watching my children?”

This all comes after Kim was declared legally single by a judge. Kim opens up about their divorce in her upcoming Hulu reality series, “The Kardashians.” “It is really hard with Kanye,” she tells her sister Kourtney in a newly-released trailer. “He told me my career is over.”

In recent court docs, the controversial rapper told a judge he’s “struggling to make ends meet.”
