So here's how the great "I'm N Luv (Wit A Stripper)" heist of 2005 went down. Three producers—Rodney King (no, not
him), Jeff Byrd, and James Reese—wrote a song named "Makin' Luv 2 A Player" in 1997, which was then recorded by Antonio Fargas, a.k.a. TV's "Huggy Bear." A year later, King and Fargas met with Steve Rifkind, then-owner of Loud Records, who was interested in having the Wu-Tang Clan or Fat Joe redo the track. The parties couldn't come to a mutual agreement, but Rifkind allegedly kept a copy of the song. Eventually, according to the producers, T-Pain was given a copy of the song by Akon; his label Konvict Music, which signed T-Pain, was connected to Rifkind's SRC Records. Because this Antonio Fargas track is just that damn good.
