When Gillie Da Kid left Cash Money in 2006, he did so claiming he had been the key to Lil Wayne’s success. He alleged to have ghostwritten Weezy’s legendary album Tha Carter, and made braggadocious claims of being better than Tunechi that ultimately resulted in a few diss tracks being thrown back and forth.
“I penned a lot of that shit, they had me around there,” Gillie explained to HipHopDX in 2006. “Stunna gave me 200,000 when I signed. They was so in a rush to get a n-gga into a deal they didn’t do the publishing right there on the spot, they just wanted to get me ink. Soon as they got me ink then they wanted to discuss the publishing.”
He continued, “Once they didn’t want to give me the money I was asking for then I knew it was a problem. I had talks and sit-downs with Wayne he didn’t even know what publishing was and shit, so I start seeing what was really going on around here.”
Gillie never officially buried the hatchet with Wayne and during a recent interview on It’s Tricky with Raquel Harper, the Major Figgas rapper claimed he ran into his old nemesis at a Jackson State University event and said Weezy was shook to see him and quickly left out of fear.
Young Money president Mack Maine got wind of Gillie’s comments and took to social media to call out the King of Philly rhymer. He posted footage of the referenced interaction between Gillie and Wayne on Instagram, and the latter could be seen smiling and shaking hands before casually departing.
“Boy boy boy this Hollywood shit crazy!! Mack wrote in the caption. “Please watch both videos. And say say [Raquel Harper] ya know I luv ya but please keep us out them type convos you’ll probably never get the truth. I know the name of ya show is ‘It’s Tricky’ but don’t let em trick ya. And if ya wrote the Carter 1 who wrote the Carter 2 and 3 and 4 and 5.”
The Million Dollaz Worth of Game host has yet to respond to the new footage.

Gillie a sucker who never made it as a top tier rapper.
Loool Gillie been riding that false claim that he wrote for Wayne for damn near 20 years….No one outside Philly ever heard a Gillie song either.
Definitely wrote it it’s proof in listening to Wayne before he came around to after
The sad part is that there is an XXL article where he says no, I didn’t. The only thing he ever did was take credit for a teenager wanting to dress like him when he came around. This article isn’t hard to find btw for the people who keep repeating the lie. Wayne was more compelling on the mike than Gillie in 1998 when he was still at Suave House and Wayne was a kid who didn’t have life experience to rap about. Facts.
You still on your Wayne but hugger crusade I see. He fathered Wayne’s style bro.
Dude said himself Wayne dressed like him. That’s what he said about “taking his style” in that article. That’s kind of clown shit since Wayne was a teenager, and he was a 20 something man then. Again, I was aware of Gillie in 1998. I don’t have to go back and retrospectively look. I had already heard of him before clowns like you did in the 2000s. They never sounded the same.
Gillie had two of the most scathing disses, that man ate Wayne up. Cannon was too good
Man listen to Wayne before the Carter, 500 degrees, lights out anything he don’t even rap the same as did on the Carter or like he does now. He switched his whole style and flow all up. Listen to Any Gillie shit and it’s the same style/flow he might not wrote 2,3,and 4 but he damn sure wrote something on the first carter. Then Wayne had the style/flow down and the didn’t need Gillie anymore. Gillie go hard
All facts! Once you got somebody’s whole style bit, tf you still need them around anymore?
Wayne never sounded like Gillie. Stop it. You’re embarrassing yourself. Some of us actually listened back then to both.
I listened to both back then. You love Wayne, I get it but you’re wrong. Wayne Even Had His Damn Chain On!
