T-Pain And Snoop Dogg Are All Sorts Of Rowdy On “That’s How We Ballin”

T-Pain and Snoop Dogg have two of the most respected careers in music. Especially in the hip-hop and R&B lanes, respectively. Both are sure-fire legends for the decades they were originally a part of. They are back now to bless us with a new single.

Over the years, T-Pain has been seen more as a singer than a rapper. Just look at all of the R&B club bangers we have gotten. However, he is more than respectable when it comes to his spitting abilities. He does so with tons of charisma and energy on “That’s How We Ballin.”

Snoop equals his contagiousness creating a fun listening experience from start to finish. This is the first time the two have worked exclusively on a song together since 2011. It is criminal that we have not gotten a new cut since “Boom.” Of course, both of them are known for their memorable performances on “All I Do Is Win.” Hopefully, T-Pain and Snoop will continue to build upon this.

Tryin’ to be better than me, you gon’ need 6 T’s
She want me to beg for that p***y, I’m like, “B****, plеase”
Just come back in the back and givе me that quick squeeze
And I put you on the list of attendees, like

T-Pain’s Alleged Mistress Tells Tasha K About Rapper Infecting Her & Sleeping With Married Busta Rhymes

In the time before social media ran the world, it was much easier for people to keep their extramarital affairs hidden. Now, all it takes is one double tap, screenshot, or podcast interview for allegations to start flowing in. We’ve seen rappers, athletes, politicians, and countless others exposed for their NSFW antics in recent decades. On controversial media personality Tasha K’s Unwine show, the alleged mistress of “Kiss Kiss” hitmaker T-Pain and his friend Busta Rhymes had plenty to say about her time spent secretly romancing the recording artists.

“I have to ask, ‘cuz you said, ‘I had never dealt with a married man before.’ Did you sleep with Busta Rhymes while he was married?” Tasha asked her guest, Passion. Rather than answer, the woman grinned and looked away from the camera. “So we got T-Pain, what about Ray J?” the host further pressed, though the rapper’s lover denied venturing into the world of R&B with Kim Kardashian’s ex. “Busta Rhymes, so you slept with him knowing that he had a wife?” Tasha assumed though the alleged mistress says she wasn’t aware of her man’s marriage at the time.

“I swear to God Tasha, and I dealt with him for a minute too,” Passion doubled down when her interviewer accused her of lying. Before the clip above comes to an end, the Unwine host also asked her guest if she got pregnant due to sexual encounters with any of the men in her life, though we didn’t exactly get a clear answer regarding that.

On the topic of Busta Rhymes’ sex life, it was only a few weeks ago when the “Look At Me Now” MC went viral for revealing what lead him to lose an impressive amount of weight. As it turns out, losing his breath in the bedroom was reason enough for Busta to make some major life changes. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

T-Pain Recalls 50 Cent Moisturizing His Hands For Him For Music Vid

T-Pain has had some interesting encounters over the years of his musical career. Case in point: He had an odd interaction with famed rapper 50 Cent when the two of them met for the first time while shooting a music video. “I’m not trying to, like, shame the man,” T-Pain said on a live social media feed with a handful of his friends. “I’m just saying how thoughtful he is. The n*gga saw that my hands was ashy, and he put lotion on my hands.”

T-Pain goes on to say that 50 Cent grabbed his hands in the middle of shooting a music video and got in between the fingers, moisturizing his hands thoroughly. The auto-tune rapper, born Faheem Rashad Najm, has been in the music business for longer than one might think, getting his start back in 1999. For 50 Cent, a.k.a. Curtis Jackson III, he got his start back in 1996. The two hip-hop icons have come up and become incredibly famous together, but this first interaction is definitely odd.

According to the No Jumper Instagram caption, “T-Pain says 50 Cent put lotion on his hands for him at a music video shoot because he noticed his hands were ashy.” This is not how rappers typically introduce themselves. But T-Pain swears this is a testament to how kind and thoughtful Fiddy is to his fellow rap peers. T has been making all sorts of observations and recollections recently, calling out Drake — in a joking way — for making “simp music.”

Meanwhile, 50 Cent is looking to have one last ride. The “50 Cent Final Lap” Tour starts on July 21st in Salt Lake City, UT. It ends domestically in Toronto on September 22nd. He will then take the show internationally, going from Amsterdam on September 28th through Europe, India, and ending in Oceania. His alleged “final” live performance will be on December 14th of this year in Auckland, New Zealand. Whether this is truly his “Final Lap” is speculative at best. As for T-Pain, he’s no doubt going to keep reminiscing about his storied past.

T-Pain Net Worth 2023: What Is The Auto-Tune Icon Worth?

T-Pain, a name synonymous with Auto-Tune and chart-topping hits, has an impressive net worth, but what is it in 2023? 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 2023, 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 2023, 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.
