Whew! Drake just clapped back at T-Pain after the ‘Buy U a Drank’ hitmaker shaded him on the ‘Crash Dummies’ podcast, calling out Drizzy for not following his own advice about bowing out gracefully. Drake wasn’t here for the shade, hinting at old resentment in a spicy Instagram comment.

Drake Claps Back At T-Pain’s Shade
T-Pain got messy on the YouTube podcast, bringing up Drake’s 2023 Lil Yachty interview where he said he wanted to “gracefully bow out” of the music game and not get “kicked out.” T-Pain said those words actually inspired him to step back from the grind and not chase people’s approval. “I said, ‘Thank y’all, I’ll drop something, let me know if you heard it,’” he shared, prioritizing peace over clout.
But he threw shade, saying Drake’s been dropping tracks like he’s trying to prove something. “Drake like, ‘Nah, hold up, I got another one. Y’all ain’t feel that? Bet, one more,’” T-Pain quipped, suggesting Drizzy’s not walking his talk. T-Pain wasn’t done yet, saying he’s done chasing validation. “I’m out this motherf*cker. I ain’t tryna impress y’all,” he declared. “I changed the game, made a sound. What else?” He’s ready to exit on his terms, but feels Drake’s still clinging to the spotlight.

T-Pain Caught Heat For Previously Vibing To Kendrick’s ‘Not Like Us’
Rewind to May 2024, when T-Pain faced some backlash for dancing to Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’ at a Vegas club. Some fans were under the impression T-Pain was picking sides when a clip of him vibing in a robe at a Vegas nightclub to K-Dot’s song went viral on the internet. T-Pain was all the way lit in the video clip, doing his lil’ 1, 2 step and slide stepping left to right as the crowd hyped him up.
And that’s all that was, he later responded in a tweet shared on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Don’t drunk dance in a robe,” he wrote. “Somehow it’s a political statement now. Let ppl dance PLEASE!! Mustard killed that f—-n beat tho.” He swore he was just feeling the music and not dissing Drake. But Roomies, could this be why Drizzy’s sensing “resentment”?
