Gillie Da Kid narrates his experience of ghostwriting for Lil Wayne. Likewise, he describes how he didn’t get any of the credit that he deserved.
When asked if he ghostwrote for Lil Wayne, Gillie Da Kid replied, “I don’t really talk about that, no more man. I’ve been talking about that for like 20 years.
He added, “Shoutout to all the ghostwriters, all across the world, who sit around and they write them hot songs and they deliver them to the artist and because they really get no credit, they get paid, but they get no credit.”
Gillie shows his sympathy to all the ghostwriters of the world who stretch themselves writing for famous artists and make their songs famous.
After hearing this, Tyson supported his statement by mocking Lil Wayne. “Lil Wayne! Evil! Yeah, he is off the hook.”
Tyson knows what it takes to be a big name in the industry. Therefore, he supports the fact that Gillie Da Kid should have been credited.
