Swae Lee says he got a clearance for Eminem’s “Stan” sample

After Millyz, Swae Lee is the latest rapper who has flipped Eminem’s iconic song “Stan” from The Marshall Mathers LP album on a new song titled “Not So Bad,” the song that Inglewood, California-born singer and rapper often performed at his live concerts.

Yesterday, Millyz took to Instagram to give fans a first listen of the upcoming song, which finds him singing over “Stan’s” signature melody, originally performed by Dido for her song “Thank You.”

“OMG WE CLEARED THE ‘STAN SAMPLE!!! DROPPIN 3/9 SALUTE TO THE GOAT“ I shot a video to it just to put on YouTube, never thought we’d get it cleared! Anything’s possible!! BLANCO 6 4/7/23,” said the Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Today, Swae Lee tweeted a cryptic tweet that reads: “I think The clearance I just got on this sample for the album is going to make y’all just as happy as I am.” One of the fans replied: “Stan, Dido,” which was retweeted by the artist himself.
