Tyga’s debut album removed from stores due to unauthorised Martin Luther King sample

Well this is embarrassing. After bringing you two new Tyga tracks the other day, the Cash Money Records signee has now had his (long overdue) debut album stripped from the stores due to an unauthorised sample of a Martin Luther King speech. A segment of Martin Luther King's speech in question is featured on project’s title track 'Careless World' and according to Kings' estate, Cash Money Records and their distribution and licensing label Universal Music Group did not seek authorisation, nor were unauthorised to use it, allegedly resulting in representatives from the estate sending notices to music retail outlets asking them to remove the body of work from their stores and return it back to Universal. Apparently a new version of the album is currently being put together and will be ready for release sometime within the new two weeks.
