T-Pain is 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 Thursday (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.

“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.”
He concluded: “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.”
The “Buy U A Drank” singer recently put his dream of performing at the Super Bowl in the air, posting a hypothetical flier of himself in the Super Bowl 58 Halftime show lineup. The next slide in the slideshow featured a snippet of a video with Shannon Sharpe asking T-Pain if he’d be interested in performing in the halftime show, to which T-Pain said, “absolutely!”
In the final slide, T-Pain shared a screenshot of a fan who wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, that “we need” a T-Pain Super Bowl Halftime Show.

“I do got the hits [shrug emoji] @nfl,” he wrote in the caption.
His bid arrived just after Usher smashed the Super Bowl Halftime show, which pulled in bigger viewing figures than both Dr. Dre and Rihanna’s previous performances.
