It was a weekend of unexpected revelations from Pleasure P, the R&B artist known for his smooth hits. The artist took to Instagram, not to share a new song, but to air some deep-seated concerns about his fellow Pretty Ricky member, Slick’em Hound.
Over the holidays, Pleasure P seemed to have a lot on his mind related to both music and his relationships. He made headlines when he demanded acknowledgment and royalties from Lil Wayne, claiming he co-wrote the rap icon’s hit ‘Lollipop.’ But the next day’s revelation felt even more personal.
Pleasure P, on a heartfelt Instagram post, expressed how much he misses his Pretty Ricky bandmates, especially Slick’em Hound. The reason for this longing? The bombshell that Slick’em is allegedly battling a heroin addiction. ‘They got one of my brothers on heroin,’ Pleasure P revealed, emphasizing his reluctance to delve into Slick’em’s personal life, yet feeling compelled to share out of concern.
Adding to the drama, Pleasure P noted the upheaval within Pretty Ricky as he mentioned, ‘They got fired.’ It was a poignant reminder of the close-knit nature of the group that once climbed charts together, only to find themselves on different paths today.
Pretty Ricky first caught the audience’s attention in 2005 with their hit ‘Grind With Me,’ featuring members Pleasure P, Spectacular, Baby Blue, and Slick’em Hound. Their fame was solidified by two successful albums before Pleasure P stepped away in 2008, embarking on a solo career with tracks like ‘Boyfriend #2’ and ‘Did You Wrong’ lighting up the charts.
Pleasure P eventually rejoined Pretty Ricky in 2015, but the promise of a final album never materialized. Despite releasing the song ‘Puddles,’ further collaborations fizzled. As the members grew apart, new opportunities arose for Pleasure P, leading to partnerships with artists like Ne-Yo and Mario for a nationwide R&B tour in 2024.
His schedule is packed with notable events like the Millennium Tour alongside Bow Wow, Trey Songz, and Omarion. This tour is a nostalgia trip for hip-hop and R&B fans, featuring names such as The Yin Yang Twins and Ray J. It’s an annual celebration of music from the early 2000s.
As for Slick’em, the rest of the Pretty Ricky crew has yet to comment on Pleasure P’s statements. The silence leaves fans eager to understand what’s next for the group and whether these bonds can ever be mended.
Pleasure P’s revelations have left fans both shocked and concerned. They hope for Slick’em’s recovery and the possible reunion of Pretty Ricky, but only time will tell how these events unfold.
