Rodney O & Joe Cooley's 1988 track "Everlasting Bass" was sampled by Future and Metro Boomin’ in their hit "Like That" featuring Kendrick Lamar. However, Rodney O claims that Epic Records and Barry White's Estate fell short on their royalty agreement. He took legal action against the label, expressing his determination to fight for his rights and those of other trailblazers in the industry.

Despite Metro Boomin’s rep asserting that proper clearances were obtained and $50,000 was paid for the sample, Rodney O alleges that his writing credits were excluded when the song was Grammy-nominated. Rodney O, with 50% ownership of "Everlasting Bass," believes that he should have received fair compensation from the success of Future and Metro Boomin's song.

Rodney O has no ill feelings towards Future, Metro Boomin, or Kendrick Lamar, instead directing his frustration towards the label and White's estate for their handling of the situation. Through his lawsuit, he aims to ensure that he and other pioneers in the music industry receive the recognition and compensation they deserve.
