As RadarOnline.com previously reported, West ran into issues with the new album prior to the event being shut down. He recently played one of his new tracks that sampled the 1997 Backstreet Boys hit Everybody.
Sources said that West had not licensed the boy band's song. It's unclear if West planned on adding the song to the final tracklist.
Sources told TMZ that Nick Carter, AJ McLean, Brian Littrell, Kevin Richardson, Howie Dorough, nor their team were approached by West about the usage.
On top of his album promotion, West has a series of lawsuits he's dealing with at the moment. He was sued by three teachers who used to work for his Donda Academy. The trio claimed they were racially discriminated against and terminated after raising concerns about the student's health and safety.
West recently demanded all claims against him personally be dismissed. He claimed to have no role in the day-to-day operations of the academy and did not have any part in paying employees.
Kanye used the space for his Yeezy clothing line.
