T-Pain fuels retirement rumors after teasing 'big decision' in social media video
T-Pain fuels retirement rumors after teasing 'big decision' in social media video Grammy Award-winning rapper T-Pain dropped a mysterious video on social media that hints at a "big decision" to make after two decades in the industry. In the 43-second clip, published on June 2, the "Buy U a Drank" emcee hinted at taking a step back and thanked his fans for a "making this a great ride." "I gave you all everything for 20 years. I'm grateful to each of you for making this such a great ride," T-Pain said in the video's caption. "Right now, I just need some time for me." He ends the video with the words, "This might be it." While the meaning behind the video is unclear, some users on social media have suggested the rapper could be considering retirement. The USA TODAY Network has reached out to a representative for T-Pain for comment. The hip-hop star, known for his use of auto-tune and deft ability to crank out club-charting hits, has been on the road performing shows all over the country. This musical grind comes after T-Pain (whose real name is Faheem Najm) made a big splash in his hometown of Tallahassee, Florida, in 2024. In November, a street named "T-Pain Lane" was revealed in his honor at a portion of Pasco Street from Orange Avenue to Tucker Street that ends at Bond Elementary School. Later the same day, the rapper performed to a sold-out crowd, his first headliner show in the city, at the Adderley Amphitheater during Tallahassee's bicentennial celebration concert. 'Boots with the fur': T-Pain gets shoutout from Reba McEntire with Super Bowl look He gushed over the opportunity to perform his hits to the adoring crowd, adding that he'd love to bring a variation of his popular "Wiscansin Fest" to the Florida capital. Days after the concert, organizers told the Tallahassee Democrat, part of the USA TODAY Network, that there were talks about making this a reality.

"Standing a very average 5' 8' tall, and tipping the scales at an equally average 160 pounds, Brenkus intersperses his hosting and executive producing duties on Sport Science with performances as the show's 'Everyman,' to help demonstrate what happens when a regular guy steps on the field, into the ring, or on the court with top athletes at the top of their games," a 2009 ESPN press release stated. "Along the way, he helps audiences understand their own physiologies and how to improve their overall performance, health and well-being." ESPN's Randy Scott remembered his former colleague, who was reportedly 53 when he died, Monday morning on "SportsCenter." Advertisement "John was uniquely talented and singularly brilliant at not only analyzing sports but then translating sports and science to generations of fans in memorable ways, because John was memorable," Scott said.
