 "South Korean rappers accuse 'The Interview' of lifting song")
Los Angeles: A rapper duo from South Korea has said their song ‘Pay Day’ has been used without permission in the James Franco-starrer ‘The Interview’. Husband and wife, Tiger JK and Yoon Mi Rae, have threatened legal action, alleging that they never gave consent to the use of the song, reported Aceshowbiz.
