Lil Wayne‘s 2008 “Lollipop” track is one of his most popular songs. It spent nearly five non-consecutive weeks atop the US Billboard Hot 100. The track features vocals written by the late singer and producer Static Major. However, according to Pleasure P, who claims he co-wrote the song with Major, he never received any acclaim and money from the track’s popularity.
The singer took to his Instagram to share his frustration. While riding in a car, with “Lollipop” in the background, he says, “Wayne and Mack Maine, I need my fcking plaque for this song, bro…Jim Johnson, y’all can do something about this sh*t.” The singer says that “nobody cares about him” anymore. He continued, “Rex got my publishing, and he got his name on this record, bro. And I can’t get my just due?”
“Just give me what I deserve,” Pleasure P Tells Lil Wayne
“Before my first album came out, I wrote this song with Static. I ain’t kill nobody, I ain’t crash out. I just hope the right people will hear this sh*t. Understand, man, I don’t want no violence,” he says. “My son just got outta jail, like I ain’t got time for that sh*t no more. I’m 40 now; just give me what I deserve, bro. I don’t got time no more.” Pleasure then commended Lil Wayne for squashing beef between him and the Hot Boyz. “But I’m a part of his biggest record. [It] [did] 1.3 million the first week, and I haven’t been able to celebrate that. I just want my money. It’s 28 million I ain’t get.”
“Lollipop” was released in 2008 and featured on Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter 3. Some could argue that the track is the rapper’s magnum opus. Unfortunately, like Pleasure P, Static Major didn’t reap any of its benefits. Static Major, real name Stephen Garrett, died at the age of 33 in Louisville, Kentucky, due to medical complications from a procedure. The track was released after his death in honor of his memory.
