Initially, Odee responded saying that the image was found on a template website that everyone had access to.
However, Need Music came back with an explanation saying that they had outsourced the design process and so had no idea the logo had already been used.
Update: their page is back up and they posted this status 😏😏 #MatokiBelongsToBAP pic.twitter.com/1bHXFK5Koi

Since then, both Odee and Need Music have apologised for the use of B.A.P’s logo and have made moves to fix the album artworks currently on Spotify.
[❗] Note: ODEE’s latest response is milder. She says it is the fault of the designer they outsourced the job to ?
