Old tweets always come back to haunt folks. The previous posts we’re talking about are from T-Pain, breathing new life into his issues with Drake. One tweet from 2022 shows T-Pain reflecting on his experience in the industry at the time and how he perceived Drake’s style to have reshaped audience tastes.
“It’s all good. Soft dark n**s wasn’t the wave at that time but Drake made it ok to situp I guess and now ppl are understanding what I was saying all those years ago. It just took a light skinned n*a to get y’all to listen and I applaud him for winning the beige baby lottery.”
This post has resurfaced as fans examine what some believe are years of built-up frustration.
Others might see it as jealousy with a hint of colorism.
One fan weighed in online, writing, “So t-pain was a big fan of drake then got dubbed for a feature… I can get why he hates drake but… I would never let anyone know I’m that pressed.” Another countered the criticism by saying, “He don’t owe that n***a nothing. Sounds like entitlement turned resentment and bitterness.”
That part.
T-Pain recently added fuel to the fire during an appearance on the Crash Dummies podcast, where he aimed at Drake’s longevity and refusal to leave the spotlight. “Drake said, ‘I wanna be one of them people that gracefully bow out and not get kicked out,’” T-Pain remarked before impersonating Drake’s relentless output: “‘OK, I got another one… Y’all ain’t like that? One more.’”
Drake quickly addressed the clip on the Gram, posting, “This guy always had resentment for me You can hear it every time he speaks on my name.” As both artists double down, it appears the tension has finally reached a breaking point.
And FTR, Offset chimed in and replied to a post with by saying: “Da boy is da boy chit ain’t gone change all dat hating on another grown man who do more number than everybody is diabolical !!!!”
