Ghostface Killah says he tried reaching out to Lil Wayne to collaborate on his new album, Supreme Clientele 2, but the iconic rapper was allegedly charging $150,000 for a feature. He reflected on the situation during an episode of Disrespect Radio on Shade45, as caught by Complex.
“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 sh*t, n****s be talk talk talk. It’s the worst," he said on the show.
