During a recent interview producer Mannie Fresh broke down his thoughts on Lil Wayne and the possibility of the Hot Boys reuniting.

According to Mannie, at some point Lil Wayne tried to deny that he had a role in creating him into a rap superstar and the Hot Boys reunion will all come down to one thing: The check.

“I mean, I just seen the dude grind, he’s doing his thing,” said Mannie about Wayne.  “That’s all I can really say and the biggest compliment, not to pat myself on the back but you start from somewhere. You will see you grow into something and you graduated from this school and look at the results. That’s all I can say.”

“But there are times even with [Wayne], and this is not a hater statement but I guess it was because of things that were going on, he tried to ex me out of it. You can’t ex me out of it, I am a part of your history.“

As far as the reunion is concerned though, Mannie is intent on not getting screwed out of money again and says that if they want him to contribute to the project they will need to first cut the check.

“It’s possible, I can tell you this, Juvie can tell you this. I don’t know how Wayne feel but B.G. can tell you this, all that depends on them cutting the check and that’s the last line of it,” said the producer before adding, “We can have these meetings every week and talk but if you really want me to come, cut the check. We done already talked about this, we already made amends, everybody is cool but the last thing of it is for real for real, do the business part of it.”
