After three and a half years of being released, Nicki Minaj‘s “Rich Sex” single featuring Lil Wayne is now eligible for Platinum status.

According to NMCharts, the J. Reid and Big Juice-co-produced song that can be found on the Barbie‘s 2018 Queen album has sold over 1,000,000 units in the United States of America alone; making it eligible for a Platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

However, Rich Sex is not “officially” Platinum until Nicki‘s record label decide to certify it! Do you still play this collaboration?

I have picked a single from David Banner titled “Shawty Say” featuring a sampled-chorus from Lil Wayne‘s “Lollipop” for this week’s “Feature Friday” installment.

This song, which was produced by Banner himself, appears on his fifth studio album that was released in 2008, The Greatest Story Ever Told.

“Shawty say the n*gga that she with ain’t sh*t; Shawty say the n*gga that she with ain’t sh*t; And he can’t do this, and he don’t do that; And he can’t do this, and he don’t do that”

You can watch the “Shawty Say” music video below.

Baby E recently participated in a Q&A (question and answer) session with a Lil Wayne Discord server that you can read in full below.

During their conversation, E discussed a possible collaboration album from himself and Wayne, how a lot of the stuff announced from the Young Money camp is actually all talk, what Weezy is like as a person (says he is very chill but “got a temper from hell though… seem him break a bunch of sh*t), and much more.

The “Finessin” singer also revealed he has at least 10 unreleased songs with Tunechi, a funny story involving FaceTime and Tune (“this real enough for you whiteboy?”), what a Young Mula studio session is really like, his favorite Lil Wayne songs, and how he was not treated well from the other YM artists. He also mentioned that Wayne and Kevin Gates do not have beef, but they are definitely not cool with each other!

A few months ago, Steven Vargas aka EQ The Great aka Steve The Engineer sat down with GRLA Hebrew and Tazadaq Sicarii to explain how he was done wrong by Juelz Santana.

Around the 1:45 mark of the clip below, Steve revealed how he first got started to become Juelz‘s recording engineer, which was back in 2005, and one of the first projects he worked on was I Can’t Feel My Face. He even recalled recording Lil Wayne in his brother’s closet in New Jersey.

The former Dipset engineer also spoke about why Juelz Santana and Wayne decided they wanted to release ICFMF as an album instead of a mixtape (money involved), as well as mentioned it was Santana‘s artist from Philadelphia, Jay Bezel, who leaked the project online by leaving a copy of the CD in a car!

After recently revealing he is creatively inspired by Lil Wayne in an interview, Yung Bleu paid a visit to Mr. Carter‘s studio in Los Angeles, California to have a studio session with the man himself and Young Money artist Lil Twist.

It has now been confirmed that Bleu and Tunechi are in the process of recording a collaboration together as the Alabama music artist has shared a text message on social media in which Tune had sent him:

“I might go more than 16 bars on the intro trak that’s kool?”

Are you looking forward to hearing a Bleu and Wayne collab? Also, with the way Weezy says “intro trak”, do you think it’s possible they have recorded more than one song together?
