T-Pain called into the Power 105 Morning Show with Ed Lover and Free this morning and revealed why he verbally attacked Jay-z during a show in Vegas this past weekend. It seems as though while everyone else thought it was all good in the hood after the release of “D.O.A”, T-Pain felt like he was being dissed on the low:
This aint the first time I done said it. Nothing has changed. I called Jay and I said can you come out on my set and do the D.O.A song, it’ll be a big look for me and you. I embrace the song, I love the song and don’t get me wrong Jay-z is the best in the game period. I would never say anything different. At that time he said “yo I’m triple booked, I’m in Switzerland right now, I can’t do it”. Then I’m ready to go on stage after Jeezy set and they said “hold on, Jay-z is about to come out with Jeezy” and I said ” Jay-z is in switzerland”. They say “no he’s not, he’s right there” and I look to the side and there’s Jay-z. So he gets on the stage and when he gets to the part where he says “I don’t need anyone smiling at this” he pointed at me and then at the end of the song when I tried to shake his hand, he turned around, gave the mic to someone and said “good riddance”.
T-Pain also went on to say that Jay-z’s manager Jay Brown thought it would be a good idea for him to go on stage during the song, but after the concert Jay-z said during an interview that he didn’t know why T-Pain came up there and he thought T-Pain was a fan at first. He also said he had set up google alerts on Jay-z’s name to see if he would atleast once clarify that he wasn’t talking about T-Pain in the song during his interviews and he never did. T-Pain’s feelings were hurt because he’s a big fan of Jay-z’s so he dissed him in Vegas as a way to gain his attention and get Jay-z to finally address the situation. He tells Ed Lover, that he felt so much better after hearing Jay-z speak on it during his visit to the Ed Lover Morning Show yesterday Morning:
I made it very clear I wasn’t talking about him. I think he’s talented, I don’t think he needs auto tune to sell records but if that’s his prerogative, everybody has a birthday. They don’t have much else to say, they can’t attack my credentials as an artist or my lyrics as an emcee.
Meanwhile, Fabolous took to his twitter page last night and “went in” on T-Pain because someone told him that T-Pain had said “F*ck Fabolous” on his twitter page. Here’s his vent:
After D.O.A., #tpainbetter not be mad, UPS is hiring!!
#tpainbetter not meet me in Brooklyn.
#tpainbetter give Mr. Monopoly back his top hats!!
#tpainbetter stay his a** outta the sun for the rest of his life!!
#tpainbetter stop playin for JayZ buys every autotune machine in the world & end his career
“#uknowhowiknowuregay cuz u do a song wit Lil Wayne & change ur name to T-Wayne…eeeel
#tpainbetter audition to be a California Raisin.. He’s done!
#tpainbetter stop singin in the fan… that aint talent we can all do that..
#tpainbetter apologize & blame it on the al-a-a-al-a-al-cohol
#tpainbetter thank me.. he’s #1 TT.. the only place his name gonna b #1 for a lonnnggggggg time!
Fab then realized the T-Pain page was a fake one with only 900 followers and promptly apologized saying “Ooops, damn I went in”. He also claimed it was not a beef, just twitter fun. T-Pain responded this morning on Power 105 by saying that if he had a problem with someone, he’d go and address them to their face and if Fab had a problem with what he said about Jay-z in Vegas he should have said something. “ I mean if somebody had a problem with Akon and they start dissin him then Im goin back stage and figure whats up”. T-Pain and Fabolous talked last night and everyone is cool.
Wednesday rapper T-Pain suffered a serious injury. Lil Kim was shooting the video for her new single “Download” featuring T-Pain on Friday and the shoot was interrupted when T-Pain injured himself on a golf cart.
T-Pain was “fooling around” on a golf cart with one of his boys – and dude pushed him off. The insider explains, “T-Pain’s whole mouth was busted, 4 of his teeth fell out and they said his jaw was broken.”
Shortly after the accident, an ambulance came to the set and rushed T-Pain off the scene and to a nearby hospital.
Neither T-Pain, nor his reps have commented on the incident.
T-Pain’s father is upset. First he lashed out at T-Pain for not giving him enough paper. Now dude is apparently lashing out against Akon.
Here’s what he told Ozone Magazine:
Akon and Bu are nasty ass n*ggas. They’re supposed to be Muslims but there’s nothing Islamic about what they did to my family. They’ve got us walking around in disgrace because their greedy asses want all the cars, all the women, all the pleasure, and all the opportunity. They know it’s fucked up, and I’ll tell ‘em to their face if I’m ever in their presence again. But they duck me because they know I’ve got a bullshit shield. They know I’m bullshit-proof; that’s why they back-doored my son.
Akon sends his little brother in so his hands will be clean. I listened to the dumb stuff that little boy said. He couldn’t hold a good conversation with me so he sold my teenager a bunch of dreams. I don’t need a dream merchant in my life. I’m not buying dreams. I’m a grown man. I really don’t appreciate Akon because he has no integrity. He’s never kept his word. When we first met and he introduced himself as “Akon,” I’ve got a metaphoric mentality, so I thought, “a con”? A con what? A con man? A convict? I don’t even know his real name. I’ll slap the shit outta Akon. He’s a thieving, un-Islamic, back-stabbin’ p*ssy. Put that in the book. I’m hotheaded enough to tell him that to his face.
I get a retirement check, but it’s not a lot of money. I’m on my ass right now, and I don’t deserve to be on my ass. All my money is gone and I’m struggling like I’m on social security. I should be honored for creating the most phenomenal thang that ever came out of Tallahassee. I saw God had given for music. I was him; that’s how I identified it. I was Mr. Music in high school. I was the drum major, director of the student choir and concert band; a very popular guy in the Marching 100.
WOW!! I wonder how T. Pain Feels about Akon
