Kanye West tweeted yesterday that he’s changing the catchy title of his song “Theraflu,” in response to strong protest from the cold medicine manufacturer. Now, you can refer to the song as “Way Too Cold,” which became popular for a line about rumored love interest, Kim Kardashian. E! Online has the full story:

Maybe “Theraflu” just had way too many bad symptoms associated with it.

Kanye West has changed the title of his controversial new song following a backlash from the manufacturer of the drug it’s named after, who slammed the rapper for inappropriately cribbing their product’s name.
