MVRemix: What exactly happened with Ghostface through "Toney's Money"/"He Comes"?
Posdnuos: Basically we did the song, we got in touch with Ghost, we're big fans of him and wanted to do a song but as well, one again, until we'd felt we'd found the correct song to help that marriage be complete, it would just be until it happened. So finally, we had that particular song. We worked everything out. He did the song. But I guess one of Ghost's problems was he wanted to make sure he got the money before he released the vocals. We didn't have the actual vocals, we got a copy of how it came out and everything was everything. I guess unfortunately our management and his management weren't being clear to us and him. So from his viewpoint, he kept hearing about us talking about how we had a song with Ghost and he hadn't got paid yet, and his own management weren't being clear what was going on.
So he maybe felt like "I don't want these motherfuckers to put this song out and leak it, and they haven't paid me." He just explained to me about being frustrated and not knowing what was going on... he leaked his own verse to be like "Well fuck it, we ain't gonna do the song 'cause now I leaked my verse." He did apologize, we met up with him at one of his shows and everything was cool. He let us know where his frustration lied, we let him know that we didn't understand or knew that anything like that was a problem, because unless someone said it was a problem, we didn't know it was a problem.
We worked all that out and we decided lets try and find another song once again, and whenever that song comes about, we'll use it. But we let it understood that "We want to still use this song for ourselves regardless, so why don't we just keep your verse," and that's what we did.
