Ghostface Killah has revealed what Lil Wayne has been charging for guest verses.
Speaking on Disrespect Radio, the Wu-Tang legend revealed he reached out to Weezy’s team for a verse.
He explained: “We tried to reach out to Wayne and from what I’m hearing, it might not have been him. They asking for like $150,000. I’m like you know what man, just knock it out yourself. That’s rap shit, n-ggas be talk talk talk. It’s the worst.”
Ghostface also revealed that the request was for his new album Supreme Clientele 2.
The rap legend recently claimed that Diddy was responsible for banning Wu-Tang Clan from New York radio in the late 90s.
Speaking on The Bootleg Kev Podcast, Ghostface recalled touring with Rage Against the Machine in 1997 and publicly criticizing Hot 97 at Summer Jam.
He said: “We left that tour, and it was messed up because we had to make a decision. Like, come back to your people over here, or stay over here and get big with these guys… We left.”
Tony Starks continued: “When we left and did the Hot 97… Shit was a disaster. They cut our records off that day, they didn’t play no Wu shit no more. That’s when Puffy was really getting on his shit, know what I mean? It just wasn’t the same no more. I cursed them n-gga’s out.”
Ghostface then claimed he later found out Diddy blocked them from getting on the radio: “RZA told me this like maybe a year ago, and said like, ‘Yo, Puff admitted to saying that he stopped our records up there.’ So it was all Bad Boy. We dropped ‘Triumph,’ no radio play with that shit. So it came out that he told the truth, like, ‘Yo, I had to do it.’ He had the power. I don’t know what he paid ’em, but he had the power. Listen, we was a threat. We was coming, if ‘Triumph’ was promoted like it was supposed to be and we would have stayed on that radio right there, I think things to right now would have been a little bit different.”
