T-Pain has once again gone off in a new business direction, choosing to take part in a drift competition and coming in first place.
The multi-hyphenate took to Instagram on Monday (March 25) to reveal that he participated in The LZ World Tour as part of his Nappy Boy Automotive imprint — which he formed in conjunction with HertLife — and came in first place.

“I WON MY FIRST EVER BATTLE!!! We pulled up to @thelzworldtour and put on for @nappyboyautomotive in the @rtrvehicles #C137 #Mustang I can’t thank the community enough for accepting me and helping me along the way leading up to my first battle that was also my first win,” he said in the caption.
He continued: “Thank you @john_wig08 and @autoextremesinc for keeping the stang tight and ready. Thank you to @rjdrifts for not absolutely ripping my door tf off like he could’ve [laughing face emoji]. I’m having a blast with all this man and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. BRRRRRAP!!”
Last month, T-Pain revealed that he’s happier than he’s ever been in his career, something he says he has not felt for the majority of his time in the public eye.
Taking to Instagram to promote his new song “Dreaming” on February 15, Pain added to the positive vibes of the song by explaining to his supporters why he’s feeling so good.

“Am I overall happy? My n-gga, absolutely,” he affirmed in a video. “This about the happiest I done been in the last…a lot. I been very, very sad and fucked up for a long time. But my wife has been there for me a lot. But you know, career wise? If you’re talking about career wise, happiest I ever been. I’m actually in control. I got a good team around me. Yeah, I’m happy as shit.”
In the caption, he added: “I’ve been sad for a long time but right now I’m happy.”
T-Pain was wearing his Apple Vision Pro in the clip – seemingly making good on his promise to wear them 24/7.
“Ya’ll thought ya’ll was going to leave me in this mundane, bad graphics-havin’ ass, boring, no color-havin’ ass reality,” he said in a video last week. “You’re sadly mistaken. You got another thing coming and I’m calling the cops ’cause you fit the description of a hater.”

He continued: “I’m just letting you know — ya’ll ain’t leaving me behind in this terrible-looking world. I’m going forever, I’m wearing this bitch everywhere — it’s over. Ya’ll shut down Google Glass because ya’ll said ain’t nobody going to wear them damn glasses with the little Dragon Ball Z thing on the side of it.
“You said wasn’t nobody going to wear them shits, and ya’ll cancelled that and now they gone, and now look what we left with. Ya’ll not leaving me behind in this dumbass world. I want to see everything through this mothafucka.”
