Fans were excited when The Game dropped his extensive 10th studio album Drillmatic: Heart vs Mind last Thursday, and even more excited to see NBA Youngboy as a surprise feature on the track "O.P.P." However, shortly after the project's release, fans noticed that "O.P.P" was removed from the album, as well as Youngboy's verse. According to Game's manager, Wack 100, the 22-year-old Baton Rouge rapper's hefty $150K fee is the reason why he was nixed from the project.
During a chat with Ma$e on Clubhouse, Wack shared, "Sometimes when it comes down to a situation that I had to make an executive decision about. In YoungBoy's defense, YoungBoy charges n*****s 300,000 a verse. That's what he charge. He gave us a hell of deal [150K]. But that situation would have cut into marketing overall. So I had to make the executive decision to pay the tab he sent me, which was a respectable, great tab. It was love. But that tab would have cut into that, that and that ... nothing against YoungBoy, he didn't disrespect us."
