“I need my f**king plaque for this song, bro,” he declared. “Y’all can do something about this s**t. But nobody care about me no more. Rex got my publishing, and he got his name on this record, bro. And I can’t get my just do. Before my first album came out, I wrote this song with Static.”
This song, released in 2008 as part of Wayne’s “Tha Carter III” album, became a massive success, topping the Billboard Hot 100 and earning him a Grammy Award. “Lollipop” was certified diamond by the RIAA in 2022, becoming Wayne’s first single to achieve this.

“I’m a part of his biggest record. 1.3 million in the first week. And I haven’t been able to celebrate that,” he added.
