Jon B 'Couldn't Stand' Chl?e Bailey and Gunna's 'You & Me' Song Sampling 'They Don't Know': 'Wish They Never Did [It]'

"[They] actually never got my rights to do that record, either," the singer recently revealed of his 1997 hit song on the 'Can We Talk R&B?' podcast

Jon B has some strong feelings about artists who sample his old music.

During the July 31 episode of the Can We Talk R&B? podcast, the R&B singer, 49, recalled one of the more recent samplings of his 1997 hit song "They Don’t Know" featured on Chl?e Bailey and Gunna’s 2022 single "You & Me" — which uses lyrics from Jon's famous hook on the intro and chorus and interpolates his guitar lick throughout — which he apparently wasn’t feeling.

"They put that ratchet record out that I couldn’t stand, and I wish they never did," Jon shared bluntly. "[They] actually never got my rights to do that record, either, so, Gunna, we gotta holler about that… That's some business s--- we got to handle.”

Despite slamming Bailey and Gunna’s collaboration, the singer-songwriter said samples of his '90s classic showing up on newer records "is a compliment to what we did."

"That's a [producers and co-songwriters] Tim & Bob compliment, that's a me compliment. But at the same time, my lane is my lane, and my area is my area, and I earned that," he continued. "If you made a hit in your area, you do your song whatever it is, I'm not going to just come into your area, take your joint and make it mine and then not pay you or whatever."

Gunna, 31, and Bailey, 26, have not yet addressed Jon’s recent comments about “You & Me,” which eventually went viral on social media. On Valentine’s Day in 2022, the pair paid homage to the Grammy-nominated singer’s ‘90s hit in their music video, nostalgically referencing the public payphone scene that appears at the start of Jon’s original video.

That same month, Gunna spoke to Revolt TV about working with Bailey on their collaboration, saying, "It was something different." "It was unexpected for my fanbase and even hers too," the “Ski” rapper added.

“Because, historically, I never seen her do a song with different rappers. I wanted to do something different and bring it into both of our worlds — let them know how both of us are really creative artists because she is, too. Chloe is really passionate about her music like I am. It was dope to really get in, lock in and put a song out."

Gunna last released his latest studio album, One of Wun, back in May. Meanwhile, Bailey, after much teasing, is gearing up to drop her sophomore album, Trouble in Paradise, on Friday, Aug. 9.

The “Boy Bye” singer confirmed her project’s arrival on Monday by posting its royal blue cover artwork — which sees her lying in a body of water with her eyes closed while donning a neon green dress and a clear string of pearls around her neck — on social media. She captioned it, “a storm is coming.”
