Controversy

In September 2016, Deadmau5 accused Suicideboys of copyright infringement [1] and claimed that they were "publicizing other people's intellectual property without consent". [2] The song was removed from YouTube and SoundCloud, [1] but the sample was eventually cleared years later, after which "Antarctica" was re-released to streaming services on September 3, 2021. [3]
