Drake claims T-Pain has always “resented” him after retirement comments
Drake has responded to T-Pain’s suggestion that he should “gracefully” exit the music industry. The autotune innovator made his original comments on an episode of the Crash Dummies podcast, where he claimed Drizzy should take his advice and back off from the competition.
“One thing I learned from Drake, but one thing he hasn’t followed his own words,” T-Pain said earlier this week. “Drake said, ‘I wanna be one of them people that gracefully bow out and not get kicked out.’
“I have ever since said, ‘Thank y’all, I appreciate y’all. I’ll see y’all when I drop—don’t worry about it, I’ll just drop something. Let me know if you heard it.’ Drake is like, ‘No, listen, OK, I got another one. Hold on, check this out. Y’all ain’t like that one? OK, real quick, just one more. Let me try one more.’”
Drizzy came across T-Pain’s retirement discussion in an Instagram post by @torontorappers and took to the comments to weigh in on his remarks. “This guy has always had resentment for me,” he wrote alongside laughing emojis. “You can hear it every time he speaks on my name.”
T-Pain previously criticised Drake following the release of his $ome $exy $ongs 4 U album with PARTYNEXTDOOR in February.
“So here’s my thing, I feel like [Drake] recorded a bunch of shit in order to keep Party around,” he said. “[Drake said], ‘You can take ten, 15 of these songs, put a verse on them and that’s our album.’ [He was probably like], ‘Bro, the songs are already recorded. These are all the songs that didn’t make my previous albums. Go for it, bro. Put verses on these songs.’
“Yeah, there’s five to seven solo Drake songs… that didn’t make other albums. I’m not saying that they’re bad. These are just songs that didn’t make albums. Or the other way around. [Maybe] Party came to him with an album and was like, ‘Drake, can you put verses on these particular songs?’”
