The Pittsburgh rapper explains the meaning behind his upcoming sophomore LP.

When Wiz Khalifa announced that he was working on a new project last year titled O.N.I.F.C., he left fans little puzzled as to the meaning of the acronym. Now, the Taylor Gang head honcho has revealed the full un-edited title of his sophomore commercial release: Only Nigga In First Class.

In a recent interview with MTV's Sway, Wiz explained that O.N.I.F.C. actually stands for Only Nigga In First Class, although the edited version will be One Night In First Class. Inspired by Mobb Deep emcee Prodigy's 2001 solo debut Head N***a In Charge (H.N.I.C.), Wiz that the title stems from a few instances while flying first class when he was slighted by the crew for being a young black man with priority seating.

"I'm just going to tell you what [O.N.I.F.C.] - it's the Only N***a In First Class," he explained. "It's inspired by Prodigy's H.N.I.C. When he dropped that, I felt like that sounded so strong and it really meant something and it had the n-word in it. I wanted to figure out something [along those lines] that was me, too…I said it on one of my songs, like, 'Ain't it funny when time pass?/Only n***a in first class,' and I was just talking about me being a young, rich dude and being black."

He added, "It looks crazy to [the workers on an airplane] when I walk up to them and I show them a [first class] ticket, or I'm going to priority seating and they're like, 'You sure?' It's kind of like that feeling - it's a good feeling, but it's like it's a bad feeling, like 'Damn, why y'all even feel like that about me?' When I look around and I see people in first class and they're getting they're dinners a little quicker than mine or they're looking at me or I don't get the pillow or extra [treatment] - or I get more because they know that I'm supposed to be there, so it's like the positives and the negatives."

Art imitates life, as a woman claiming to be Drizzy's ex-girlfriend files suit in a California court claiming she wasn't properly compensated for "Marvin's Room."

According to an exclusive story by The Hollywood Reporter, a woman claiming to be Drake’s ex-girlfriend and the inspiration for “Marvin’s Room” is suing the YMCMB rapper for co-writing royalties on the song.

Ericka Lee, who is credited in the liner notes of “Marvin’s Room” as a vocalist under the name “Syren Lyric Muse,” believes she is entitled to a larger share of the song’s royalties. Lee filed her initial claim in July of 2011, and was met by a counterclaim from Cash Money/Universal Records roughly six weeks later. According to Lee’s suit, she believes her “contribution is highly significant to the overall work.”

“Drake allegedly agreed to work with Lee on ‘Marvin’s Room’ and split the proceeds,” writes Eriq Gardner of The Hollywood Reporter. “Lee says she was asked to record the song’s ‘hook’ as well as the opening monologue that would serve as the thematic framework for a song about Drake’s yearning for an ex-girlfriend and how his fame interfered with his love life.”

Lee also claims she was offered a $50,000 payment along with 4-5% of the song’s royalties after threatening Drake with legal action prior to filing her lawsuit. “Marvin’s Room” peaked at the number 21 spot on Billboard magazine’s Hot 100 singles chart.
