Fuckin' Problems

"Fuckin' Problems" is a song by American rapper ASAP Rocky featuring Canadian rapper Drake and fellow American rappers 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar. It was released on October 24, 2012, as the second single from Rocky's debut studio album Long. Live. ASAP (2013), and was later released to radio on November 27, 2012.

Noah "40" Shebib assisted the artists in writing the song and also serves as producer alongside Drake, who co-produced under the pseudonym C. Papi. Static Major receives posthumous songwriting credits for the sampling of his unreleased composition for Aaliyah entitled "Don't Be Jealous" (which was leaked in January 2013 under title "Quit Hatin'"). Though uncredited, the song also interpolates Ol' Dirty Bastard's "Shimmy Shimmy Ya". The song was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Song.

Background
The song was initially recorded by Drake for his album Nothing Was the Same in a studio session with rapper 2 Chainz. Drake felt like the song was a throwaway so he wanted to give the song to "somebody who was poppin" and gave it to Kendrick Lamar. Lamar recorded his verse on the song but decided not to use the song for his album Good Kid, M.A.A.D City, as he thought the song would not fit into the album, so he returned the song back to Drake again. Drake then finally let ASAP Rocky keep the song along with all the verses to use for his debut album Long. Live. ASAP.

Music video
The music video, directed by Sam Lecca and Clark Jackson, premiered on December 3, 2012 on 106 & Park.
