Punch Explains Origin of ASAP Rocky's “F*ckin' Problems”

Punch from Top Dawg Entertainment recently cleared up where ASAP Rocky’s “Fuckin’ Problems” song originated.

It all started when hip-hop personality Jeremy Hecht reacted to a clip from Ray Daniels’ YouTube channel in which the latter claimed that “Fuckin’ Problems” was originally Kendrick Lamar’s song.

“Sometimes, you gotta come on somebody else’s platform and say what you wanna say or do it on someone else’s album because it might not fit your brand,” said Daniels. “That’s Kendrick's record, that’s not Kendrick’s brand. So, he gives it to A$AP Rocky.”

Hecht responded to the clip asking DJ Hed for the full details behind the surprising news, writing, “Nah we need the actual story next week @DJHed no more mysteries 🤣.”

Punch then hopped into the comments to give what he claims is the real origin behind the song. “From what I remember, Drake had the record first with the 2 Chainz hook,” he wrote. “He wanted Dot to use it for his album and he was going to put a verse on it, instead of doing Poetic Justice. He also wanted to put Rocky on it.”

“So Dot did a verse and told him to give it to Rocky and to still do Poetic Justice,” Punch continued. “It worked out for all parties.”

Producer Nineteen85 jumped in to give his own two cents about the song too. “The ACTUAL story is that Drake made the song and gave it to Rocky. Drake literally produced the song with 40,” wrote Nineteen85. “This is the first time Drake publicly used the name Champagne Papi. It’s produced by 40 & C. Papi.”

 “Fuckin’ Problems” ultimately turned out to be a smash hit song that appeared on Rocky’s debut album, Long. Live. ASAP. The track, which was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Song, went eight times platinum in the United States.
