2 Chainz unboxed his Spotify Billions Club plaque for “Fkin’ Problems” and used the moment to joke about something that would be impossible today: getting that same lineup back on one song, even for a billion dollars.** The video surfaced on September 29 through his social media.
What 2 Chainz said while unboxing the plaque
In an Instagram Story, 2 Chainz showed off his Billions Club plaque, the recognition Spotify gives to songs that cross one billion streams, and dropped a line that sums up where things currently stand between the artists on “F**kin’ Problems”: “So you got a billion streams, you can’t even pay a billion dollars for none of these people to be on the same record again. That shit is crazy… I’ll keep this,” according to Complex.
Why 2 Chainz’s joke lands so well
2 Chainz’s comment points directly at the tension that now separates the rappers featured on “F**kin’ Problems”: Drake, Kendrick Lamar and A$AP Rocky. The relationship between Drake and Kendrick Lamar was defined by their 2024 feud, which peaked with “Not Like Us,” and A$AP Rocky also sided with Kendrick during that conflict. Seeing all four on the same song today, as 2 Chainz joked, is close to unthinkable.
A different milestone for each of the four artists
For 2 Chainz, “F**kin’ Problems” marks his first song to cross one billion streams on Spotify, a milestone arriving more than a decade after the track’s release. For Drake, on the other hand, it’s his 28th Billions Club plaque, and for Kendrick Lamar, his 15th, numbers that highlight the massive gap in sheer volume of blockbuster hits between them and 2 Chainz himself. The original song appeared on A$AP Rocky’s 2012 debut album, Long. Live. ASAP.
