Controversy has surrounded the song's inclusion on the album as it appears the track wasn't cleared by Oxlade and his team,

While replying to a Twitter user who was wondering if Oxlade had cleared the song, Melvitto surprisingly revealed that the track was included without Oxlade's knowledge or consent. Melvitto revealed that his decision was in retaliation for Oxlade's decision to shoot another video for 'Wait For You' without his permission.

After some back and forth between the two artists, Melvitto claimed Oxlade asked his label to take down the song which led to the subsequent takedown of the EP from Spotify.

Oxlade Fires Back: In a development, Oxlade has tweeted that he will not allow himself get cheated by Melvitto as long he draws breath.
