Only a few producers can lay claim to touching various segments of the Billboard charts. For the last couple of years Mike Will Made It has done just that by crafting hits with Myley Cyrus to Future. He sat down with The Breakfast Club to discuss the music and some very upcoming ventures.
While Mike Will isn’t known for doing a lot of talking, he opened up and let the true nature of his personality shine throughout this 26 minute interview.
DJ Envy, Angela Yee and Charlamagne Tha God got him to talk about his producer peers wearing fake watches, working with pop stars, The Swirl and more.
We were pleasantly surprise to hear how frugal he is with his money; let us know which was your favorite moment in the comments section below.

Jewelry
When confronted about his Rolex watch, Mike Will asserted that it was indeed real and invited the crew to bring out the diamond tester machine.
The Lifestyle
While he can definitely afford to spend his money on standard rapper luxuries, he chooses to save it in order to avoid him going broke like some of his unfortunate predecessors.
“Buy The World”
His newest single “Buy The World” was originally a song that Future started for his Honest album but never completed. Mike took the song and pieced it together over a five month span to include Kendrick Lamar and Lil’ Wayne. Additionally R&B singer Brandy and Juicy J also make brief appearances on the song.
Miley
Mike did not outright admit to swirling with Miley Cyrus, but he did profess his love to her in a brotherly way. He denies that the rumors of dating her hurt his reputation within the Rap community.
Studio
While he loves working with everyone, he says that working with Future due to the energy they have built over the years.
“Move That Dope”
Ironically “Move That Dope” features a unused Future verse. Additionally when Pharrell heard the tune he begged Mike Will to jump on it.
Decisions
Contrary to popular belief Mike did not decide to go back to making Trap music after crafting most of Miley Cyrus’ very pop Bangerz album.
Drake
Mike also confirmed that he will be working with October’s Very Own on his upcoming fourth solo album.
