French Montana’s “Pop That” may feature a sample from Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell’s “I Wanna Rock” and the former 2 Live Crew member did join Montana onstage at the 2012 BET Hip Hop Awards for a performance of the song, but it appears that Luke has still not received any monetary compensation for his contribution to the record.
The former rapper revealed the news to MTV’s Rap Fix while appearing on the red carpet at the annual awards show last Saturday (September 29).
“Aw man, when I heard the song I said, ‘Oh this is a hit’ and the next thing I said ‘Well, where’s my check?’ Ain’t nobody told me about my check yet,” Luke explained. “I have not gotten the check yet so I’m looking for the check. I’mma talk to Diddy in the back about it, after we perform.”
“Pop That” will be featured on the Maybach Music Group and Bad Boy artist’s debut album, Excuse My French, which is due out before the year is up. As of now neither Montana nor a rep for the rapper have responded to Luke’s claims of nonpayment.

It got lost in the mail. Really it did.
lmfao u a fool pay dat nigga that bread cuz u know diddy aint
The LOX & ever former Bad Boy artist laughed like a muhfuh when they heard this
If hes so concerned about getting paid for it, i wonder why he went on stage with him. Why cosign the shit if you are out the money
I’m sure he got paid to go up there on stage…but they still owe him
Spent royalty check on ciroc and new chains for the Coke Boys
Luke won’t receive a check because he doesn’t own the rights to the record. Lil Joe Records owns it…but Luke isn’t dumb….he knows that!
See the way my bank account is set up I gotta call my bank and transfer from my savings make sure my money is there.
EPIC!
My people cut him a check for $10.99, and mailed it him last week. Be patient Uncle Luke. The postal service is notorious for being slow.
..HASNT GOTTN A CHECK CUS NEITHER HAS FRENCHY… GO CHECK DIDDYS POCKETS…LOL
FRENCH MONTANA SUX!!!!! WACK ASS MUFUCKA!
ONLY NEWYORK HEADS GET IMPRESSED BY THAT SHIT
french is not lyrically inclined but his choice of beats trump any southern artist in my opinion recently, the west coast guys are the only ones really rapping now. So pleae refrain from talking reckless. Go listen to 2chainz recite the abc’s and make it “hot”.
Luke has been in the game long enough to know how I do business. If he wants a check I suggest you go down to Chase and buy some cause whatever French makes off this album will be lining my pockets. Please believe.
Hey Luke, don’t bother asking French, I doubt Diddy paid him.
Your money gonna be there on monday
2 weeks later

Are you sure? There’s supposed to be money there diddy got me on direct deposit man, I was just in Macy’s and it worked so I don’t know man. See the way my bank account is setup I gotta call my bank to transfer from savings to make sure the money’s there right?
Don’t feel back Uncle Luke. Diddy never paid me either.
Why hasn’t he gotten paid? Diddy is involved..that’s why.
