Fabolous paid Lil Wayne $100,000 for a feature in 1999, Lil Wayne recorded his verse in 15 minutes and left immediately

[5 Grand]

In 1999, while Fabolous was working on his debut album, he paid Lil Wayne $100,000 for a feature. Lil Wayne showed up, recorded his verse in 15 minutes and left immediately.

“They came to the studio. I think Steve Stoute gave them 100 grand for Lil Wayne [out of my budget]. They were scorching. This Cash Money in like ’99. For the 99 and the 2000.”

Lil Wayne was 17 years old at the time and not only did he get $100,000 for his feature, he also got four bottles of Cristal champagne.

“So the four bottles is there. We in the studio—we thinking that four bottles of Cris means they gonna come in, we gonna vibes, drink some champagne… Wayne come in, did his verse in 15 minutes, they was out. Took the four bottles with ’em. That’s my first time even seeing something like that. I’m like: ‘This shit different.'”

The song was never released but Fabolous and Lil Wayne do have collabs together

Wait Fabolous had a budget for an album over $100,000? That shit is hilarious.

 

[Stomp Johnson]

Fab deserved it for a career of lackluster ass output.

On the flipside I'm sure that Birdman got every bit of $98,000 of that hunnit-large, pleighboi.

You gotta remember everybody was going platinum back then. File sharing wasn't really a thing yet so you had to actually buy the CD.

And truth be told, we all thought Fab had next.

 

[Qawshun]

It ain't like fab was a slouch, but paying Wayne wack ass that much then not even using the song foh

 

[AP2.5]

Cassidy ripped that shit too

 

[wadupdoe!313]

Not if you can go platinum in America and diamond global.

A Wayne feature wasn't doing that when fab 1st lp dropped.

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

Not if you can go platinum in America and diamond global.

Wayne barely went plat.

I could see if it was Juvie in 99 or 09 Wayne, Fab paid 100k to for a verse.

 

[Valentinez A. Kaiser]

that shits hilarious....

"this shit different"

read that in Fab's "Holla back Young'n" voice and everythang! LMAO

 

[Inori]

lol "somebody did this"

 

[Hater Hearst Helmsley]

Lmao $100 k only to not release the song

 

[5 Grand]

Does anybody have an mp3 of the song in question?

I know it was never released, but I'm sure it's on the internet somewhere.

And by process of elimination, we could probably figure out which Fab/Wayne song it is.

100,000 for a verse that didn’t even make the album SMH

 

[Big Lurko]

Video budgets were 1mil at those times so its not far fetched

not the same tho. Videos you've got a lot more to pay for crew, catering, people in the videos, locations, editors after it's all been shot.

Fab already had the beat and studio booked out. He must've been paying for their travel and hotel for $100k.
