T-Pain Recently Sparked A Response From Drake Over THIS Comment

T-Pain recently became a trending topic after speaking on Drake’s 2023 interview, where the rapper vowed to “gracefully bow out” of the music industry to avoid being “kicked out.” During the ‘Crash Dummies’ podcast interview, T-Pain suggested Drake’s recent output feels like he’s got something to prove, playfully mimicking him:

“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.’” T-Pain added that, “Drake has become the very artist he swore he’d never be, quoting him further saying, “Y’all Nas don’t give a f*** if I live or die. Why the f*** would I keep tryin’ to impress y’all? I’m out.”

Drake didn’t take the jab lightly, though. After the clip had sparked a widespread conversation on social media, Drizzy hit back with a response on IG. He wrote, “This guy always had resentment for me. You can hear it every time he speaks on my name.”
