Fredro then spoke about Drake writing for Lil Wayne, who Fredro still considers one of the greats. From there, Shawn Prez spoke about Quentin Miller doing a $30,000 deal that included him writing for Drake, and Quentin said that he never got any additional money. Fredro then stated that the publishing game is like the “Wild Wild West,” and he went on to urge artists to always be on top of their publishing. This led to him speaking about leveraging publishing, and Fredro said that a lot of artists are being “robbed” in the game. While speaking about Quentin being tricked by “Tricky,” he joked that he got his name from something.
