Pleasure P is raising the stakes ahead of the Boys 4 Life Tour, calling out promoters, Bow Wow, and B2K after Pretty Ricky was noticeably missing from the tour’s early promotional flyers. In a candid Instagram video shared December 1, the singer confronted what he sees as a pattern of disrespect as the group prepares to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album, Bluestars.
Directing his message to Bow Wow, B2K, Omarion, G-Squared Events, and the Black Promoters Collective, Pleasure P didn’t hold back. “Bow Wow, B2K, we want to be included in the promo of the tour,” he said, making it clear that Pretty Ricky expects equal visibility. “Gary Guidry, BPC, listen, I’m tired of y’all playing with Pretty Ricky, like Pretty Ricky ain’t them n***as… you know what I’m sayin’.”
He also questioned the narrative around who carries the most weight on the tour. Pleasure P procceeded to suggest all the acts being celebrated together.
“Bro, I’ve never went to the club and heard a Lil Bow Wow song or a B2K song. And I love everybody, but come on, bro,” he said, pushing back on what he views as selective promotion. “Y’all gotta stop making it about just one or two people. And just make it about everybody. We gotta work together.”

The “Boyfriend #2” hitmaker is ready to prove the group’s star power against the other acts. As he continued, Pleasure P shifted from frustration to strategy, rallying Pretty Ricky’s loyal fanbase ahead of the tour’s kickoff.
“All of my day one Pretty Ricky fans, y’all wear blue to every fuckin’ show for the Bluestars album,” he said. “We are celebrating 20 years of Pretty Ricky, 20 years of Bluestars — you know what I’m talkin’ about.”
He concluded the video with the claim that Pretty Ricky has more hits than the others, which he wrote. “But listen, y’all ain’t got more hits than us… and I wrote that shit.”
Pleasure P’s comments reveal potential tension that often surfaces when early-2000s R&B acts reunite under one tour. P’s message signals that Pretty Ricky expects recognition equal to their impact, particularly during such a milestone year.
Whether promoters adjust their strategy remains unclear, but the singer has already reignited conversation around Pretty Ricky’s legacy. And with Bluestars turning 20, Pleasure P is making sure everyone remembers exactly why the group’s presence matters.
