Dillon Francis and T-Pain Have Another Collab In the Works
It looks like lightning is going to strike twice with D-Pain. Dillon Francis has announced he’s working with T-Pain again after the two released “Catchy Song” back in 2019. This time around, it seems like the two have teamed up for a more traditional electronic collaboration as opposed to the bubblegum “Catchy Song,” which was featured in the children’s movie The Lego Movie 2 back in 2019. And from Francis’ reaction last week, the track is shaping up to be a big one: Back in September T-Pain shared that he was actively seeking collaborators in EDM, house, and techno, tweeting that he “can lead us to musical greatness.” Just 24 hours prior he appeared onstage with Francis in Las Vegas and performed a number ...
T-Pain Forgives Usher For Telling Him He “Kinda F*cked Up Music” As The 2 R&B Icons Share Stage In Atlanta
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Do y’all remember when singer/songwriter and producer T-Pain made an appearance on the Netflix docuseries This Is Pop and recalled how he was on a flight when he was woken up to meet with none other than R&B icon Usher on the plane only to have Usher tell him about how he “kinda f***ed up music” with his signature use of auto-tune in his songs, and how that sent him into a depression? I mean, it was kind of a punk move. Even if you do believe T-Pain’s use of the audio plug-in he made famous was the beginning of the end of mainstream music—which…meh, that’s debatable—you have to admit that Usher being a music legend and going out of his way to ambush an up and coming artist on a flight to tell him that he and his digital voice box...
T-Pain Is Looking for EDM Collaborators: “I Know I Can Lead Us to Musical Greatness”

With the right producer by his side, T-Pain suggests the sky is the limit. “I know I can lead us to musical greatness,” he tweeted. Recommended Articles Elec...
In Rare Instagram Post Dr. Dre Agrees With T-Pain About Rappers Being “Repetitive”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 T-Pain’s hilarious rant about rappers all sounding the same resonated with none other than Dr. Dre himself. Wednesday (Jul.15), the legendary Hip-Hop producer and Beats By Dre co-founder chimed in on T-Pain’s Twitch session where he called out new rappers for sending him music that sounds like everyone else’s stuff. In a rare Instagram post, The Chronic crafter shared T-Pizzle’s video and wrote in the caption, “Shoutout to @tpain!! I’m here laughing my fuckin ass off, but he’s right. I know and feel exactly what you’re saying. When the good doc speaks, we know he is more than likely speaking from experience, having to listen to submissions from artists all of the time. We know Dr. Dre has a great ear for talent becau...
T-Pain Says Usher Pushed Him Into Depression For Claiming He “F*cked Up” The Music Game
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Prince Williams / Getty Ever since blowing up in the mid 00’s, T-Pain‘s got a lot of hate and whatnot for making Auto-Tune a thing in Hip-Hop & R&B music (See Jay-Z’s “Death Of Auto-Tune”), but the criticism even drove the man to depression. In an exclusive clip from Netflix’s upcoming series This Is Pop, the “Buy U A Drank” singer revealed that it was none other than R&B legend Usher Raymond who drove him into that dark and lonely place. Detailing the moment it happened, a visibly disturbed Teddy Penderazzdown recalled how a flight attendant woke him from his slumber while he was on his way to the 2013 BET Awards. After informing him that Usher would like to chop it up with him in the back. After making his way back there and exchanging pleas...
T-Pain Reveals Nicki Minaj Politely Curbed Him After Asking Her For A “Quick Little Verse”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Prince Williams / Getty One thing we are learning about T-Pain, he has plenty of stories to share. The Rappa Ternt Sanga has been on a mission to respond to DMs he missed from fellow artists and celebs because he didn’t know about the “secret” request folder the Instagram implemented to curb spam worked had another interesting tale to share, this involving Nicki Minaj. During a recent episode of the 85 South Show, T-Pizzle revealed that Nicki Minaj gave him the cold shoulder when he reached out to her in 2007 to collab on some music. “She was like, ‘Hey, I’m an artist too, and I’m working on my shit, so ya know, baby chill,” the “Buy You a Drank” crafter revealed to podcast hosts.

T-Pain Hops On Instagram Live With Mark Zuckerberg To Speak About His DMs Dilemma
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jemal Countess / Getty T-Pain took some time off from handing racists Ls in Call of Duty to speak with Mark Zuckerberg about his Instagram DMs situation. In April, T-Pizzle discovered a “hidden folder” in his Instagram direct messages and decided to take to TikTok to share all of the messages he missed from celebrities and fellow musicians. Unlike Boosie, who demanded an audience with Mark Zuckerberg and called him a “racist” after his Instagram account got shut down because he either couldn’t adhere to the platform’s strict policy of no nudity or sharing a video of himself slapping a man, T-Pain actually got to speak with the owner of Facebook about his DMs dilemma. During the Instagram Live session with Zuckerberg, the Facebook CEO and owner of Instagra...
HHW Gaming: T-Pain Takes Out Whole Squad of Racists By Himself During A ‘Call of Duty’ Match
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Gustavo Caballero / Getty T-Pain put all racists playing Call of Duty on notice. The “Rappa Ternt Sanga” let them know if you gonna call him the n-word, you’re going to pay for it in the game. And he took it personally. All Black gamers experience racism when playing their favorite video games online, even celebrities. Call of Duty is notorious for racist trash talk from Caucasian gamers who become very brave and say many things they definitely wouldn’t say to a Black person’s face while playing online. T-Pain, an avid gamer for those who didn’t know, is no stranger to racism while gaming and experienced it during a recent match, and he handled it in the most satisfying way ever. In the video, his white opponents can clearly be heard saying “f*** Black li...
T-Pain Teases Potential Collaboration with RL Grime
Back in 2015, RL Grime tweeted that T-Pain “predicted everything.” However, we don’t think anyone, including the famed “Can’t Believe It” singer, could’ve predicted a collab between the two. Fast-forward to today, when T-Pain took to Twitter to tease a collaboration with RL Grime, who remains one of the most profile producers in trap music. T-Pain was cryptic in his word choice, only writing, “I killed it bro.” RL Grime’s annual Halloween mix is approaching, of course, so fans can hold out hope that T-Pain contributed either to the introduction or an entirely new track. Just like our friends over at Your EDM, we are hyped. It’s a long shot, but we’re going to go ahead and imagine they made a song in a mansion in W...
Akon Suggests a Foray Into EDM Would Help T-Pain Resurrect His Career
Akon has stood the test of time as not only a generational artist, but also an impactful entrepreneur whose influence has permeated beyond the music industry.
