the could’ve sued him to stop…
They could, but unless they own their own catalogue and license the music in a way that lets them decide the context for its usage, the lawsuit probably wouldn't go anywhere.
Fun fact, the Foo fighters own all of their music. They're one of the few if only bands that actually do. The main reason is the fact that after Nirvana Dave grohl had fuck you money. This is one of the reasons why that band is so special. For them it is all about the music. It didn't start out as a struggle. All of their catalog is a passion project, and that's pretty cool.
That said, I doubt a lawsuit would really go anywhere.
Because cheeto man wouldn't cough up anyway - he'd slime his way out of it.
