Pleasure P Demands Credit For Allegedly Writing Lil Wayne’s Lollipop

In a bold and slightly baffling claim, Pleasure P has stepped into the spotlight once again, this time demanding his due credit for the iconic 2008 hit “Lollipop” by Lil Wayne. The 40-year-old rapper, best known for his time in the R&B group Pretty Ricky, took to Instagram Live to make an impassioned plea that he co-wrote the track alongside the late Static Major. And while his argument might seem a bit out of left field, let’s break down why his demand for credit could stir up some serious debates.

The “Lollipop” Controversy: What’s the Deal?

Pleasure P is no stranger to controversy, but this one might take the cake. In his recent Instagram Live rant, the rapper stated that he was one of the masterminds behind the catchy lyrics of one of Lil Wayne’s most successful songs. Now, before you go reaching for your phone to check if your ears have deceived you, yes, the same “Lollipop” that shot Wayne to superstardom, selling over 10 million singles in the U.S. and earning a RIAA diamond certification.

“I wrote that,” Pleasure P declared emphatically, as he played the track. But here’s where things get spicy: Pleasure P wasn’t just claiming credit for the lyrics. He also alleged that Rex Zamor, Mack Maine, Jim Jonsin, and of course, Static Major were co-writers too. But, here’s the kicker—he’s demanding a plaque for his supposed contribution. A little desperate? Maybe. But let’s unpack why.

The Saga of the Underrated Writer

In his Instagram Live tirade, Pleasure P went on to say, “I’m a part of his biggest record. 1.3 million the first week. And I haven’t been able to celebrate that. I wanted my money. Now what? 28 million dollars, I ain’t get.” If his words are to be believed, Pleasure P should have been swimming in riches by now. Yet, the reality is far different. Despite co-writing this massive hit, Pleasure P claims he hasn’t received his fair share, not just in earnings but in recognition as well.

Now, anyone who knows anything about the entertainment industry understands that credit and money don’t always align. However, when you’re dealing with a song that became an anthem for an entire generation, a plaque doesn’t seem like too much to ask, right? Or does it? After all, the track was Lil Wayne’s moment in the sun, catapulting him into the mainstream. So is Pleasure P’s demand valid, or is this just an attention-grabbing stunt?

The “Lollipop” Success: Did Pleasure P Actually Contribute?

To be clear, the creation of “Lollipop” is an intricate web of talent and creativity. Static Major is often hailed as the true genius behind the song’s success, with his songwriting abilities, particularly in the realms of melody and hooks, being a driving force. While Pleasure P’s name is nowhere to be found on the official credits, he’s still adamant that he played a significant role in shaping the track.

But here’s where things get murky. The song itself is a work of collaboration, with multiple hands involved in its production, from lyricists to producers. Is it possible that Pleasure P did contribute to some of the song’s magic? Sure, it’s entirely plausible. But why wait until now, more than a decade after the song’s release, to make this demand for credit? Could it be a case of jealousy or frustration over his own career trajectory, or does he genuinely believe he was cheated out of something that rightfully belongs to him?

A Plea for Plaques, or a Cry for Attention?

Let’s face it—Pleasure P’s plea for a plaque might just be a ploy to get back into the headlines. For a guy whose star faded a long time ago, this “revelation” seems oddly timed. Is this an attempt to reignite some relevance in a music world that’s long moved on from the glory days of Pretty Ricky? There’s no denying that he’s not the first artist to feel slighted in the music industry, but his late-stage demand for a plaque and recognition reeks of bitterness.

And then there’s the question of money—always a driving force in these disputes. Pleasure P claims that he’s entitled to a chunk of the 28 million dollars generated by the song. But if he truly believes his creative input is worth that much, why not go the traditional route and pursue legal action instead of airing grievances on Instagram Live? Could this be a publicity stunt to pressure Lil Wayne and the record labels into acknowledging his contribution?

The Bottom Line: Will Pleasure P Get His Plaque?

At the end of the day, it’s unclear whether Pleasure P will get his plaque or any monetary compensation for his alleged contribution to “Lollipop.” The reality is that the music industry is a complex world of collaborations, where it’s not always clear-cut who deserves credit for what. Was Pleasure P involved in writing the song? Maybe. Is his demand for recognition legitimate? That’s a harder question to answer.

One thing is certain: this story is far from over. If Pleasure P does manage to secure his long-awaited plaque, it’ll be interesting to see how Lil Wayne and the industry respond. In the meantime, let’s all just sit back and enjoy the drama. Because, let’s face it—this whole situation has all the makings of a wild ride.
