Rebound (Arty and Mat Zo song)

Last updated

"You can't steal if you credited somebody. He and I communicated. ... It's not my fault he didn't tell me about the other guy. So who is to blame? I didn't know."

— will.i.am. in defense to the accusations [9]

In a later interview with radio station KIIS-FM, will.i.am. admitted stealing from "Rebound" accidentally and that he was confused whether he ever had the rights to use "Rebound" for his song. [11] He stated, "Arty is a dope producer so I wrote this song to 'Rebound' this last year. I got in touch with Arty and showed it to him, did a different version to it 'cause I asked him [to] make it newer 'cause I don't just wanna take your song and rap over it. But he said that after a year's time, "we preferred writing over and using the [original] rebound. Something happened and the clearance... hopefully we resolved the issue". [6] He then contacted the song owners for negotiation, [12] in which the song was removed from the regular edition on his album #willpower and replaced on the deluxe edition with the song "Feelin' Myself". [13]

Later in May and June 2013, Above & Beyond and Mat Zo, respectively, played the original track on Electric Daisy Carnival and made fun of will.i.am. [14]
