Chris Brown Gives T-Pain His "Flowers" Amid Drake Drama
Chris Brown is giving credit where it's due and this time, it's all about T-Pain. But, was it to spite Drake?
The R&B star took to his Instagram stories to praise the artist behind hits like 'Bartender,' calling him 'one of the GOATs' of their generation.
'RANDOM THOUGHT… @Tpain is one of the goats of my generation!!!' Brown wrote on his Instagram Story over the weekend. He followed it with another story that read: 'GIVING YOU YOUR FLOWERS!!! PIONEER. LOVE YOU MY BROTHER.'
The shoutout comes at an interesting time, as T-Pain's name has been circulating following comments he made about Drake… and Drake's clapback.

In a recent episode of the Crash Dummies podcast, T-Pain reflected on something Drake once said about wanting to bow out of the game gracefully, 'The one thing I learned from Drake — and the one thing he hasn't followed — is his own words. Drake said, 'I want to be one of those people that gracefully bows out and not get kicked out.''
That criticism didn't sit well with Drizzy, of course, who responded by calling out Pain directly.
'This guy always had resentment for me,' Drake posted in an IG comment. 'You can hear it every time he speaks on my name.'
While Breezy didn't mention the Drake situation directly, fans were quick to connect the dots. Especially considering his long-running musical history with T-Pain.

Still, it hasn't always been all love. Some fans pointed out that T-Pain once called out Chris Brown during a 2022 interview with DJ Akademiks, saying the singer had what he referred to as a 'princess complex.'
'That is my motherf–kin' n—a, but I know what his faults are,' T-Pain said at the time. 'Chris Brown has the princess complex… not only when you get what you want, but when you get accolades for doing absolutely f–king nothing and just being pretty.'
Despite that moment of tough love, it's clear Brown holds no grudges. As the back-and-forth between T-Pain and Drake continues to stir opinions, Breezy's IG two cents adds some fuel to the fire.

'One thing Mag had to learn about me was that I was going to do as I pleased,' Eastwood told Photoplay in 1963, per Levy. 'She had to accept that, because if she didn't, we wouldn't be married.' The 'Rahwide' star was also reportedly quoted by Levy as saying, 'I'm independent, a vagabond, and [Johnson] accepts me as I am and doesn't strangle me with female possessiveness.' 10 Maggie Johnson and Clint Eastwood in 1956.

Post Malone Ties His Own Radio Record — And He's About To Beat It
Post Malone's 'I Had Some Help' ties 'Circles' with 60 weeks on Billboard's Radio Songs chart, ... More making them his longest-running hits as the country duet continues. Post Malone at Michael Rubin's Fanatics Super Bowl Party at The Sugar Mill on February 08, 2025 in New Orleans, Louisiana. (Photo by Christopher Polk/Variety via Getty Images) Variety via Getty Images Post Malone first became a musical superstar thanks to the songs he released that fit within the hip-hop genre. He found incredible commercial success right out of the gate, but when it comes to his performance on Billboard's main radio ranking, his longest-running smashes can't be classified as rap. Instead, his biggest pop tune and his first proper country hit are now tied for a special place within his discography. Malone's collaboration with Morgan Wallen, "I Had Some Help," as well as his solo tune "Circles" have both spent 60 weeks on the Billboard's Radio Songs chart. That tally ranks the singles that rack up the largest number of total audience impressions across all airplay formats in the U.S. It's rare for any track to live on the list for a year or longer, and now Malone has scored a pair of those massive wins. "Circles" debuted on the Radio Songs chart in September 2019 and reached No. 1 in December. It spent 11 weeks ruling and still stands as Malone's longest-running champion by far. "I Had Some Help" only held on to the top spot for about half as long — five frames. It launched on the competitive ranking in May 2024 and has not disappeared since. While "I Had Some Help" is currently matched with "Circles," the two likely won't be tied for very long. Malone's first country win rises to No. 20 on the 50-spot roster, so there's a good chance it will continue to live on this list for several more months. In fact, by the time it's done, "I Had Some Help" may rank as one of the longest-charting tracks in the history of the Radio Songs tally. "I Had Some Help" is Malone's only current hit on the Radio Songs chart this week, but Wallen fills 10% of all the available spots. Amazingly, "I Had Some Help" is his highest-ranking win, even after more than a year on the roster, as it sits just above both "Just in Case" and "I'm the Problem," which give him a winning streak as they occupy Nos. 21 and 22, respectively. Further down on the ranking, "Love Somebody" dips to No. 44, while "What I Want," Wallen's collaboration with Tate McRae, lifts to a new peak of No. 46 in its second frame on the tally.
