Fiona Apple asks Lil Nas X “Where’s my money?” in regards to 2018 sample

Lil Nas X sampled Fiona Apple’s “Every Single Night” on his 2018 mixtape Naserati, and Fiona wants the cash.

September 26, 2019

Fiona Apple has had an extremely public week, giving her first in-depth interview in a long while to New York Magazine's Rachel Handler and, in the process, saying she'll probably have a new record coming out in 2020. In that interview, she discusses the fact that Panic! At The Disco's Brendon Urie wanted to sample a song of hers and, when denied, called her a bitch in an interview.

Now, Apple has uploaded a vlog of sorts to the fan tumblr Fiona Apple Rocks — run by a friend of hers — in which she states that Handler forgot to mention that Lil Nas X sampled her song without permission on 2018's Naserati track "Kim Jong." “You sampled [“Every Single Night”] too,” she states in the to-camera video, “And, um, hey! Where’s my money, you cute little guy? Where’s my money?” As Pitchfork points out, Naserati is not available to stream, so Lil Nas X may not have made any money from the song. Watch the video below.
