T-Pain Says He Never Received Payment for Features From 2008-2010
by Staff Editor
During a recent installment of Genius Level with host Rob Markman rapper, producer, singer, and songwriter T-Pain made a shocking comment.
T-Pain opened up about his collaborations over his decade-long career, with an emphasis on 2008-2010.
T-Pain shares with Markman that he didn’t get paid for most of his feature verses and appearances from 2008 through 2010.
“Most of those features I did back in 2008, and ’09, and ’10, I did all of ’em for free,” he said. “I was the music Jesus; you wanna get saved? Come to the Church of T-Pain and I’ll slam a hook on there and make sure you’re good for at least three more years.”
He continued, “I did all of ‘em for free and all I wanted you to do was get back on my sh*t, that’s it. I just wanted an even swap, ’cause I was going to charge you just as much as you charge me,” he explained. “Then nothing was reciprocated, you know what I’m saying? But, even if I got somebody to even try to be on the song, they would come back and charge.”
Despite lack of payment T-Pain is continuing to create music with his latest video All I Want featuring Flipp Dinero.
