Pleasure P wants credit for allegedly co-writing Lil Wayne's hit 2008 song, "Lollipop," and pleaded his case in a recent video on social media. Taking to Instagram Live last week, the 40-year-old rapper explained that he co-wrote the song with Static Major and wants his share of the earnings.
“I wrote that,” Pleasure P began while playing the track. From there, he listed other co-writers including Rex Zamor, Mack Maine, and Jim Jonsin, before adding: “I need my f*cking plaque for this song, bro … Y'all can do something about this sh*t but nobody care about me no more. Rex [Zamor] got my publishing, and he got his name on this record, bro. And I can't get my just due. Before my first album came out, I wrote this song with Static. My son just got out of jail. Like, I ain't got time for this sh*t no more, bro. I'm 40 now. Just give me what I deserve, bro.”
