Renowned house music producer and DJ David Morales has voiced his concern over a sample in “I Love It,” West’s new collaboration with Cuban-Mexican rapper Lil Pump and Adele Givens. On Facebook, the New York-born Puerto Rican legend posted a video accusing West of lifting the bass line from an instrumental mix he made by Alexander O’Neal’s “What Is This Thing Called Love?”
