Gillie Da Kid gained fame from a Cash Money controversy
After leaving Cash Money Records without a project, Gillie claimed to have written some of Lil Wayne’s songs from the 2004 album Tha Carter. He told XXL magazine in July 2006 that he changed how the label operated.
When I got around there, I changed the whole direction of Cash Money. Not just the ghostwriting part, I'm talking about everything.
The claim generated a lot of buzz, but Lil Wayne and the company’s management have continuously denied the ghostwriting claims. The New Orleans-born rapper fired back with the 2006 diss track, Problem Solver, and Gillie responded with several freestyles.
