Pleasure P recently stirred the pot on Instagram Live with a bold claim about co-writing Lil Wayne’s hit “Lollipop.”
The former Pretty Ricky star is vocally pursuing the recognition—and funds—he believes he’s due for the 2008 chart-topper. According to Pleasure P, he worked alongside the late Static Major in crafting the song, which has raked in $28 million over the years.
With “Lollipop” playing in the background, he named names, calling out Rex Zamor, Tez, Wayne, and Mack Maine, insisting, “I need my fucking plaque for this song, bro.” His grievances extended to Jim Jonsin, the track’s producer, urging action from those involved.
Pleasure P lamented, “Rex got my publishing, and he got his name on this record. And I can’t get my just due.” He passionately explained how, before his debut album, he collaborated on “Lollipop” with Static, yet hasn’t shared in the song’s monumental success.

Amid personal challenges, including his son’s recent release from jail, Pleasure P proclaimed, “I ain’t got time for this shit no more, bro. Just give me what I deserve. I wrote this.” He emphasized his role in contributing to one of Wayne’s biggest hits, which sold 1.3 million copies in its first week.
Aiming at Zamor, who has since moved on to manage rising star GloRilla at CMG, Pleasure P criticized, “That’s my old fucking manager, who’s standing behind GloRilla on red carpets because he wants to be seen.”
This isn’t the first time Pleasure P has surfaced with these claims. He revisited the subject in 2023 on The Baller Alert Show, asserting, “There’s certain elements of the song I wrote that’s still in there,” though acknowledging Wayne’s significant contributions.
Jonsin once explained to HipHopDX that the track was initially intended for Danity Kane. Pleasure P’s personal journey with “Lollipop” began when Static Major was first introduced to the track, ultimately suggesting it for Lil Wayne.
In another realm of the music world, Lil Wayne has cleared the air with Kendrick Lamar after some Super Bowl halftime drama. Wayne assured fans in a Skip Bayless interview that there’s no beef, expressing his support for Kendrick to “kill it” at the event.
Pleasure P’s quest for recognition in the “Lollipop” saga continues. As he vocalizes his claim and seeks justice, the story sheds light on the complex dynamics of music credits and industry politics.
