T-Pain ended his friendship with DJ Khaled because he didn’t give him credit for the car he used in his music video.
According to T-Pain, he rented his Bugatti to DJ Khaled for $3,000. However, the car ended up in a music video, making it look like someone else’s car instead of giving T-Pain credit for owning it. That was the beginning of the end of their friendship.
The song was Ace Hood’s “Bugatti.”
The Bugatti in the video actually belonged to T-Pain.
He waited for someone to mention it, but nobody did. Everybody was just admiring it
So he decided to say it himself.
“That’s my car. DJ Khaled paid me 3 grand to use my car.”
Khaled eventually called him and say
“That’s what you’re doing?”
T-Pain explained that they made it look like the car belonged to them. Khaled told him to watch the video again.
“Okay, you didn’t say it. But okay.”
Then came the request.
“Take it back. Take the post down.”
But T-Pain wasn’t having it.
“I kind of still stand by what I said.”
And the post stayed up.
There was another issue. The photo he used to call them out also featured Khaled’s own artist, Ace Hood.
“You just used my artist in the sme@r campaign.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Years later, T-Pain still stands by his story:
“This is why me and Khaled, to this day, don’t F with each other.”
Can you imagine two grown men not being cool with each other to this day over something like this? 😂
I thought he rented it out, so what’s the biggie?
