T-Pain Claims Drake Didn't Take His Own Advice When It Came to a ‘Graceful' Exit From Music
Back in 2023, Drake hinted at the idea of having a 'graceful exit' from the rap game, but T-Pain doesn't think the 6 God's following his own advice. The Florida rapper-singer joined the Crash Dummies Podcast earlier in June, where he revealed that Drake's words about leaving the industry gracefully rather than getting forced out struck a nerve with him, leaving T-Pain to take a step back and examine his place in music.

'Drake said, 'I want to be one of those people that gracefully bows out and not get kicked out.'' He continued: 'I have ever since said, 'Thank y'all, I appreciate y'all. I'll see y'all when I drop — don't worry about it, I'll just drop something. Let me know if you heard it.' Drake is like, 'No, listen, I got another one. Hold on, check this out. Y'all ain't like that one? OK, real quick, just one more. Let me try one more.'' Essentially, T-Pain thinks Drake became the person he said he wouldn't be, while Drizzy's words really struck a nerve with the 'Buy U a Drank' artist. 'Like, when he said that 'I wanna gracefully bow out and not get kicked out,' I was like, 'You know what? I'm out this b—h. I'm out this motherf—ker,'' he added. 'I'm not trying to impress y'all n—s. Y'all n—s don't give a f—k if I live or die. Why the f—k would I keep trying to impress y'all? I'm out. I'm done. I did everything that I'm trying to do. I changed the game. I made a sound. What else?' Drake initially broached the idea of retirement when joining Lil Yachty for an interview in 2023. 'I think I'm at the point now where I just wanna like — I feel like maybe we talked about this the other day,' he said at the time. 'I feel like I'm kinda introducing the concept in my mind of a graceful exit.' However, Drake's continued to be active in the rap game. In the time since, he released his For All the Dogs album, got into a battle with Kendrick Lamar and teamed up with PARTYNEXTDOOR for $ome $exy $ongs 4 U. Drake ended up responding to T-Pain hours later as his comments went viral on social media. Drizzy hopped into an IG comment section claiming that T-Pain 'always had resentment for [him].' 'You can hear it every time he speaks on my name,' Drake wrote. Listen to T-Pain talk about Drake around the 30-minute mark below.

Chris Brown has come to T-Pain's defense while hailing his 'Kiss Kiss' collaborator as 'one of the GOATs' of his generation a true 'pioneer' in the music game. C. Breezy took to his Instagram Story over the weekend to champion the Florida rapper-singer's greatness after T-Pain's clash with Drake.

'[T-Pain] is one of the GOATs of my generation! Giving you your flowers!!! Pioneer. Love you, my brother.' While Brown claimed it was a 'random thought,' plenty of fans connected his praise for T-Pain to his name rising to the top of the mainstream conversation after Drake responded by taking a shot at the 'Buy U a Drank' artist. Last week, T-Pain was critical of Drake for seemingly not taking his own advice when it comes to having a 'graceful exit' from the rap game. 'The one thing I learned from Drake, here's the crazy thing, the one thing I learned from but one thing he hasn't followed — his own words,' T-Pain told the Crash Dummies Podcast. 'Drake said, 'I want to be one of those people that gracefully bows out and not get kicked out.'' Drake quickly got wind of T-Pain's viral comments and claimed that Pain 'always had resentment' for him, noting, 'you can hear it every time he speaks on my name.' T-Pain and Brown teamed up for their 2007 smash 'Kiss Kiss,' which topped the Billboard Hot 100, and have had a strong bond in the years since. However, following Brown's defense of T-Pain, some Breezy fans recalled that Tallahassee Pain was critical of the R&B singer in 2022 surrounding the reception to his Breezy album, which saw Pain label Brown with having a 'princess complex.' 'That is my motherf–kin' n—a, but I know what his faults are. Chris Brown has the princess complex,' Pain told Akademiks at the time. 'Now, we gon' take this to something that is controversial, but — it's not controversial. … The princess complex is not only when you get what you want, but you get the accolades of a pretty person for doing absolutely f–king nothing and just being pretty.'Best of Billboard Chart Rewind: In 1989, New Kids on the Block Were 'Hangin' Tough' at No. 1 Janet Jackson's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits H.E.R. & Chris Brown 'Come Through' to No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay Chart
