After making crazy noise last week with new joints, “Theraflu” ft. DJ Khaled and “Mercy,” Kanye West caught some legal flack some the makers of the actual Theraflu cough syrup about using their copyrighted name as the title of a record that was rather non-publicity friendly. As a result, Kanye has been forced to change to name of the HitBoy-produced track to “Way Too Cold” as well as make changes to the song’s artwork.  You can peep the new artwork (with the Theraflu bottle now cut out) above and read the full official statement from Kanye’s PR regarding the matter after the jump. “Way Too Cold” is still a pretty legit title.
