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.

Oxlade decided to shoot another wait for you video without my permission or knowledge of. I found out on Trace Premiere. I returned the favour ♥️ https://t.co/7fSoXVmVZL

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.

Melvitto revealed that he’s working to get the EP back on Spotify after removing ‘Folasade’ which is the subject matter of the copyright infringement claim.

As expected, your boy told Sony to send a copyright claim. Bitchass move but I respect it.

Ovrdose. will be back on Spotify with 5 tracks shortly ♥️
