Uncle Luke demanding compensation from Ice Spice, Megan Thee Stallion and Sexyy Red wasn't on our 2024 bingo card.
Over the weekend, the Miami bass veteran and former 2 Live Crew frontman posted a cellphone recorded video of himself taking a walk outside, where he requested credit for seemingly paving the way for the aforementioned female rappers. As Ice Spice, Meg and Big Sexyy are known for their sexually provocative lyrics and stage presence, Uncle Luke clearly wants a cut, although the ladies were children–and in Ice’s case, not even born–when he was in his prime.
"Male rap is on some bullshit right now, I’m sorry. The females are winning. They’re doing everything that I did. I’m still waiting for these girls to send me a fucking check," Luke began.
"I need a check from Ice Spice who turns her ass around, dropping it like it’s hot and doo-doo browning. I need a check from Sexyy Red—nah, Red’s my friend. My man Stan. Shouts out to Stan, Stan the man. I don’t need a check from him. That’s my dog, that’s his record company."
He continued, "All the fucking girls, Megan Thee Stallion. Anybody that’s running around shaking their asses, talking about pussy and dick on the record—y’all need to send me a check."
"Just stop by with the check and say, 'Thank you, Uncle Luke, for fighting, going to the Supreme Court, allowing us to be able to say what we saying on the records, and we’re whooping these men’s asses right now ’cause we doing our thing.' That’s going to go viral."
Luke Skyywalker has requested credit for years, as 2 Live Crew's 1989 album, As Nasty As They Wanna Be, was largely protested and nearly banned for its suggestive album cover and obscene content. The Florida rap group would even fight obscenity charges in federal appeals court, ultimately being found not guilty. The group would later defend their freedom of speech in the U.S. Supreme Court during a copyright infringement trial, which involved a parody of Roy Orbison's 1964 song, "Oh, Pretty Woman."
"I knew that if we don't take on this fight of hip-hop, that people of today wouldn't be able to do it," Uncle Luke told ABC News last year.
