Pitbull And T-Pain Are Bringing 00s Vibes Back With “Party After Dark Tour”

by

Pitbull and T-Pain dominated the 2000s. It was tough to go more than a few minutes on the radio without hearing their voices on hits like “Hotel Room Service” and “Buy U A Drank.” Both artists symbolize good times in a club setting, whether they were the main artist or the feature, so it makes perfect sense that they’d join forces for the upcoming “Party After Dark Tour.” The North American tour will kick off August 21 in Virginia, and culminate October 5 in New Mexico.

Pitbull and T-Pain hyped up the tour on their respective social media accounts. “Get ready! I’m heading your way for the #PartyAfterDarkTour w/ special guest @TPAIN,” the former wrote on Instagram. “Tix on sale Friday at 10am. Daleeee.” T-Pain, meanwhile, tweeted: “HEY BABY GIRL WHATCHU DOING THIS FALL??? I’m going back on the road with my brother @pitbull.” If the sight of these two aughts icons wasn’t enough to delight fans, specific dates on the tour will also feature appearances from Lil Jon. These specific dates include stops in Washington and California.

Pitbull and T-Pain have a brief but impressive track record. They scored a massive hit out the gate with 2011’s “Hey Baby (Drop It to the Floor),” which peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100. They followed it up with “Shake Senora,” then took a decade break before reuniting for “Lit In the City” last year. Both artists have continued to tour, but Pitbull did stir up controversy during a 2021 show in which he attacked critics of the United States. “To whoever the f**k doesn’t like the United States of America,” he said onstage. “May God bless you, but f**k you at the same time. He later said he credited his huge success to living in the U.S. and therefore felt very passionate about the country.

That was then, however. Pitbull is back to making people dance, because that’s what he enjoys the most at the end of the day. He reflected on his “party rapper” status during an interview with the San Diego Tribune. “They always looking at Pitbull like, ‘Oh, he’s just the party guy. He’s just making these club anthems’,” he noted. “[I] put these records out because I knew that people would enjoy them and it could feed their wild side.” This “wild side” is exactly what Pitbull and T-Pain will be feeding on tour.

Tickets go on sale starting April 26 at 10 a.m.

Meghan Trainor Launches Her Upcoming Album ‘Timeless’ With The T-Pain Collab ‘Been Like This’

by

Meghan Trainor has been enjoying a second wave lately. After starting her career with major hits “All About That Bass” and “Lips Are Movin,” Trainor has become a dominant presence on TikTok with songs like “Made You Look” and “Mother,” both from her 2022 album Takin’ It Back. (She also generated some attention in 2023 for talking about sex with “big boy” husband Daryl Sabara.)

Now, she’s looking to ride the wave even further: Today (March 14), Trainor announced Timeless, her sixth album. The project is set for release on June 14, but today, she shared “Been Like This,” a new collaboration with T-Pain. As would be expected from Trainor, the song brings vintage doo-wop sounds to present day in a poppy and fun way.

Meanwhile, Trainor gave birth to her second child last summer, she announced at the time with adorable photos. Also last year, Trainor spoke about the time she and Charlie Puth made out while working on their 2015 duet “Marvin Gaye.” Puth later confirmed the story, saying, “I had just moved to LA and yeah, I’m not denying that happened. That definitely did happen once in 2015. I also don’t think I’d ever had vodka before, Grey Goose vodka.”

Listen to “Been Like This” above.

Award-winning artist, producer, songwriter, entrepreneur, global cultural icon T-Pain is adding 3D Animation to his list of accomplishments with the release of the official video for his inspirational new single “Dreaming.” PRESS HERE to watch and HERE to listen to the track. The visual for the soaring anthem was animated by T-Pain after he taught himself Blender 3D animation software. The visual effects seen in the video are taken from his own recurring dreams, which inspired the challenge to teach himself 3D animation.

“I spent many late nights over the past couple of months challenging myself and learning how to use this software so that I could execute the ‘Dreaming’ video in the way I imagined,” said T-Pain. “I’m so proud of it, and I’m excited to share it with you all.”

Earlier this month, T-Pain teamed up with Nappy Boy Entertainment artist, producer and songwriter Young Ca$h to release “Biggest Booty,” as the Bluez Brothaz. Fans in the Atlanta area can purchase tickets to attend the Miss Biggest Booty Pageant on March 20 – a voluptuous Miss America inspired pageant and variety show featuring a comedy set from Nappy Boy Radio Podcast co-host Vanessa Fraction and special guest judges from the 85 South Show and Pour Minds Podcast: Karlous Miller, Lex P, Drea Nicole and Navv Greene. Capping off the night will be the first ever performance by T-Pain and Young Ca$h as the Bluez Brothaz.

T-Pain Net Worth 2024: Updated Wealth Of The Auto-Tune Icon

by

T-Pain, a name synonymous with Auto-Tune and chart-topping hits, has an impressive net worth, but what is it in 2024? The sum is a testament to his influence and success in the music industry, and we’ll be going over what has gone into contributing to his wealth.

T-Pain Net Worth

The rapper has a net worth estimated at around $10 Million US Dollars in 2024, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

The Role of Music In His Net Worth

T-Pain’s net worth is largely tied to his music career. His debut album, Rappa Ternt Sanga, was released in 2005. It was a commercial success and began his rise to fame. His subsequent albums, such as Epiphany and Thr33 Ringz, have topped the charts and contributed significantly to his net worth. The mega-artist’s knack for creating catchy hooks and memorable melodies has resulted in a steady income stream from album sales and streaming revenue.

Business Ventures

Outside of music, T-Pain’s net worth reflects his business ventures. He launched his own record label, Nappy Boy Entertainment, which has bolstered his income. T-Pain has grown his net worth by nurturing other artists while contributing to the music industry. He has also ventured into tech by launching the “I Am T-Pain” mobile app. The app, which allows users to use Auto-Tune on their voices, was a hit and provided another source of income for the rapper.

Television Appearances

Television appearances have also contributed to T-Pain’s net worth. He has made guest appearances on various TV shows and even emerged as the winner of the first season of The Masked Singer. These appearances have not only increased his visibility but have also added to his wealth. His charismatic personality compels audiences. This makes T-Pain a sought-after voice on the small screen, and he’s capitalized on it.

The Reflection Of T-Pain’s Lifestyle On His Net Worth

T-Pain’s lifestyle is indicative of his net worth. Known for his love for luxury cars, the rapper owns a collection that any auto enthusiast would envy. These purchases, while extravagant, reflect the wealth that T-Pain has accumulated over the years. Moreover, he was one of the first mainstream artists to add their names to Twitch. The mogul has admitted that he makes more money streaming than he does through his music.

Conclusion/TLDR

In conclusion, T-Pain’s net worth in 2024, estimated at around $10 Million US Dollars, reflects his successful music career, business ventures, and television appearances. His ability to innovate and adapt in a rapidly changing industry has kept him relevant and contributed to his wealth. As we progress, seeing how T-Pain continues to shape the music industry and grow his net worth will be intriguing.

T-Pain Is Ready To Square Up Against ‘Sesame Street’ Assailant Larry David And Defend Elmo’s Honor

by
Larry David Elmo Today
Today

Elmo, most people would contest, is among the more agreeable beings in entertainment history. For decades, the Sesame Street star has taught children about sharing, spelling, and other important things kids should know about as they grow up, all in a fun and upbeat demeanor. Basically, you don’t really hear about Elmo having enemies.

In a surprising (but also somewhat not surprising) turn of events, though, Elmo was recently attacked on live television by Larry David. Elmo and David were both appearing on Today yesterday (February 1), and during Elmo’s segment, David came out of nowhere, grabbed Elmo’s face, and started shaking it violently. Well, Elmo has found himself an ally in T-Pain.

First, here’s a video of the incident, as well as a fantastically executed artistic rendering for good measure.

T-Pain saw that and couldn’t believe what he was watching, tweeting, “I know I didn’t just see my mans @elmo assaulted on live TV.” He didn’t stop there, as he shared the tweet on his Instagram Story (as People notes) and added, “@Elmo say the word.” The apparent implication there is that should Elmo ask, T-Pain would eagerly square up and throw hands at the Curb Your Enthusiasm star.

David addressed the Elmo incident on Late Night With Seth Meyers, and he seemed far from remorseful. He explained that he was getting annoyed by Elmo talking about mental health and concluded, “And you know what? I would do it again!”

T-Pain Said He Nearly Had A Song With Michael Jackson And Usher, But One Person Ruined Everything

The music industry is full of stories of near-misses and “almost weres.” It’s the nature of the business — especially for most of its history, when things had to be done without the benefit of advanced computers and high-speed internet — that things get lost, tapes get damaged, calls get missed, and egos clash, resulting in some fascinating projects behing scrapped or forgotten.

In the case of T-Pain missing out on his chance to collaborate with the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, the Tallahassee native had a great story for his fans — although it has a miserable ending for Pain himself. During a recent livestream that he clipped and shared to other social media, T-Pain remembered how his opportunity to work with MJ and Usher on a song during his career peak was derailed by an overzealous collaborator.

Before playing a snippet of the song for his viewers, he prefaced it with the story of why it was never released. “We are about to listen to a song that I wrote and produced that was meant for me, Usher, and Michael Jackson,” he said. “And then the person that was in charge of doing the references and the person that sang it got too excited and was like, ‘N****, I’m on a song with Michael Jackson and Usher and T-Pain!’ And then he released it and then Michael Jackson was like, ‘Nah, never mind. I don’t wanna do it anymore.’ Yeah, that pissed me off. Not gonna lie to ya.”

Talk about “pain.” Fortunately, T-Pain’s got a list of collaborators about a mile long — and that’s before you get to all the people he accidentally ghosted that time — so he still did okay. He’s also experiencing something like his fourth career resurgence thanks to a live performance of his 2023 covers album that keeps going viral and drawing attention from artists like Ozzy Osbourne. While it probably doesn’t completely make up for missing out on working with one legend, T-Pain keeps pumping out hits and becoming one in his own right. Check out the video of T-Pain telling the story below.

Ozzy Osbourne Gave T-Pain The Highest Praise After Seeing Him Perform A Cover Of His Classic

Every couple of years, folks on the internet collectively remember that T-Pain can actually sing, and every time, they go absolutely bananas. Usually, this is prompted by a video of the Tallahassee native performing that goes viral, reminding everyone that the man is still around and still very, very talented.

The latest example comes by way of a concert recording of his latest album, On Top Of The Covers, which he performed at The Sun Rose in Los Angeles last march. As usual, people are freaking out, but one of the artists he covers, Ozzy Osbourne, had a question:

“Why didn’t you guys call me?” he wrote on Twitter, after calling a video of the performance “the best cover of ‘War Pigs’ ever.”

Pain, who naturally saw the compliment, expressed his amazement and gratitude at receiving such high praise. “First thing I said was ‘wow,’” he wrote alongside a screenshot of the rock legend’s tweet. “This is an honor and the greatest form of validation. Thank you brother.”

Meanwhile, as one group of internet users is having their minds blown by the discovery that T-Pain can sing without his signature Autotune (something for which he once received such harsh criticism from Usher, he almost quit music entirely), another group of fans is getting their kicks being super smug about it. The life cycle of the internet in a nutshell. For funsies, you can check out the full show below.
