T-Pain has called out DJ Khaled for alleged disloyalty, deepening the tension between the former collaborators.
The R&B hitmaker appeared on the latest episode of Club Shay Shay where he was asked by Shannon Sharpe about what he’s learned after more than 20 years in the music business.
“Nobody is your brother. Nobody,” he vented. “Everybody’s your brother while they can use you. That is the quickest and most consistent thing that I’ve learned through this whole thing.”
T-Pain then called out DJ Khaled specifically, saying: “I’ve had fucking DJ Khaled and everybody tell me, ‘I’m your brother.’ Do not believe that shit!
“Like, DJ Khaled knows how to move, he knows how to do things with different people. But it’s not [just] a DJ Khaled thing — that’s just the first person I can think of.”
He continued: “You gotta think about how many people I’ve helped throughout their career. Everybody is like, ‘Oh my God, thank you so much. You’re my brother’ … And then none of that shit was reciprocated. None of that shit meant anything.
“When people tell you how much you mean to them, don’t grab onto that. When people tell you how much they can mean to you in return, that’s the shit you [should] gravitate towards.”
T-Pain and DJ Khaled teamed up for a number of massive hits in the mid to late 2000s and early 2010s, most notably “All I Do Is Win,” “I’m So Hood” and “Go Hard.”
But their relationship soured in 2013 when Teddy Pain began to feel overlooked by the We The Best boss in favor of another Auto-Tune auteur, Future.
“Future is on right now. Khaled deals with who’s hot at the time, so of course he don’t need T-Pain when he got another T-Pain. It’s not really a big deal for him to switch people,” he told VIBE in 2013 when asked about his absence on Khaled’s Suffering From Success album.
An Instagram post from T-Pain seemingly dissing Future over his “Bugatti” collaboration with Ace Hood only further fractured his relationship with Khaled.
“Future didn’t get mad … He ignored the whole thing … And then Khaled hit me like, ‘That’s what you doing?'” T-Pain explained during a 2021 appearance on Drink Champs. “I was like, ‘Yeah, bro. You said that [Future’s ‘Bugatti’ hook] was his and I didn’t have anything to do with it.’
“He was like, ‘Look back at the video.’ I looked back at it and I was like, ‘Okay, I don’t have a rebuttal for this.’ I was like the worst fucking friend ever. Khaled was like, ‘Take the post down! You used my artist in a smear campaign!’ And I was like, ‘[sighs].’ I kinda still stand by what I said.”
He added: “The whole thing was a miscommunication and that’s why me and Khaled, to this day, don’t fuck with each other.”
He’s the worst!
DJ DoesntEatSalad is only loyal to food.
not to mention he is loyal to lsraeI.. he is a shit stain on the history of PaIestine.
Your a stain you support companies that support the IDF. Google, Disney, Apple, Meta, Amazon, and many others basically everyone supports them. Kanye called it out but they laughed at Ye he called Bibi out first and now everyone pretends to be that now. Hasan Piker enabled by Ari Emmanuel but Ari demanded Ye get blacklisted.
Wtf are you crying about. GTFOH with that shit
You’re just a Zionist bigot fraud like Hasan Piker and Ari Emmanuel who canceled Ye but protects his client Hasan, Jimmy Kimmel, and Colbert all also zionists
You’re a Zionist and fraud like Hasan piker that Ari protects but called for Ye to be canceled
Well what did you expect from a guy who does not give a flying fuck about his own people getting bombed and exterminated by invaders?
He married a Israel descended woman and labels are pro Israel as is all companies and the world
this over Future. T pain was jealous and now Future surpassed him it still upsets him. Future was who was popular and on the rise better fit with street rap than pain who fit better with pop
T pain ain’t hurting anyone seen him on twitch
He cringe! Kai Cenat and these others tried to prop him. His weird lifestyle and turning on people who helped him screwed his career Akon and Kanye got ghosted and hated by Pain. Pain music is very pop and Pain going ghost during that era huet him more and the DJ Mustard collabs with Pain helped but Future had taken over by then. Pain always looking for smoke also hurt him and talking then running. The weird Florida guys especially from that era Pitbull, Flo Rida, and Tpain and Plies who is completley fake.
Another sad ass fatboy T-Pain sob story.
Khaled’s got some big ol’ titties. I’d love to butter his nipples up and lick it off… no homo
Don’t you mean yes homo, gay greg.
Pain fake! Ye called him for collabs and he refused. Pain so full of it and still upset Khaled helped Future. Now he’s super cringe and exposed bro don’t know much about hiphop, does weird stuff, and the streaming thing
Labels are the most fake. Carti got screwed over they made him cut people like Ye and forced him to work with Kendrick to get screwed over. YoungBoy the only real one. Grammys trash, Travis robbed twice
You listen to Travis, Cartier and Youngboy? I know your kids are going to have downs syndrome.
