According to music executive Lance Rivera's first hand account in a May 2023 VladTV interview,[1] Biggie instructed "Un" to cut rapper Mase (Mason Betha) a check for $45,000 to write six songs for Lil' Cease's debut album.
Given the explosion in radio airplay, a remixed single of "Crush on You" was released featuring two verses and additional ad-libs written by Lil' Kim.
[5][6] In a Fall 2016 issue of XXL magazine, Lil' Kim told a slightly different version of the story from her point of view stating: "I do remember being pregnant at the end of that album, where I couldn’t really finish some of the songs and that’s how Lil’ Cease ended up on “Crush on You.” He wasn’t supposed to be on that record, but I was sick and I had to go away and clear my head because I was pregnant.
The video consists of four colored setups, blue, yellow, green and red with Kim's outfits and wigs changing throughout to match.
Additionally, Luke, Aaliyah, Leslie Segar, Ed Lover and Sheek Louch make cameos in the music video.
