He didn't get permission from Coolio

>I ain't with that…I think that my song was too serious…I really…don't appreciate him desecrating the song like that… his record company asked for my permission, and I said no. But they did it anyway…

"He didn't get permission from Coolio"

He received permission from Coolio's record company.
