I was Diddy’s first ghostwriter, I swear to God! He owes me a big fat check too. I got arrested a day or two before he could give me my check. It ruined my life because the check was worth $36M and that would have changed my life forever. I sent him a letter recently but I doubt I get a reply...

Thanks @OGBama ! I have been a writer since learning how to write. My grandmother was a librarian who had great penmanship and I got a lot of inspiration from her.
There was always so much paper around when we got school supplies so I figured I’d be a writer and use up some of that paper. When...
Hey Y’all! I’m a ghostwriter. I started out at Columbia Records in NYC in the 1993 when Bad Boy first started. Who I wrote for might not belong here, so I won’t mention any names unless you ask. I have never made a beat before, but I know exactly what to do with them! Raekwon said “Beats make me...
