Drake disses T-Pain retirement comments, hitting back at the artist. T-Pain had suggested that Drake should step away gracefully from the music industry. Speaking on the Crash Dummies podcast, T-Pain recalled Drake’s own words. He said, “One thing I learned from Drake, but one thing he hasn’t followed his own words. Drake said, ‘I wanna be one of them people that gracefully bow out and not get kicked out.'”
T-Pain explained his own approach, inspired by this idea. “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,’” he noted. However, T-Pain described Drake’s current behavior differently. “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.’” This highlights T-Pain’s view that Drake hasn’t followed his own advice.
The “6 God” quickly noticed T-Pain’s remarks. He had some strong words for the “Buy U a Drank” rapper. Drake commented on Instagram: “This guy always had resentment for me [laughing emoji]. You can hear it every time he speaks on my name.” This shows Drake’s clear displeasure.
T-Pain had previously shared his thoughts on Drake’s music. For example, he believed Drake and PartyNextDoor’s collaborative album, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, was made of leftover tracks. These were songs that did not make it onto other projects.
Pain speculated, “So here’s my thing, I feel like [Drake] recorded a bunch of s**t [and] in order to keep PARTY around, [he said], ‘You can take 10, 15 of these songs, put a verse on them and that’s our album.’” He suggested, “[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.’”
T-Pain clarified, “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?’” These comments show T-Pain’s critical eye on music creation.
T-Pain had previously refused to pick a side in the highly publicized dispute between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. He simply stated, “Drake or Kendrick? I choose to mind my f**king business. It ain’t got nothing to do with me. It ain’t gonna hurt my pockets if I pick one or the other. Don’t give a f**k.” This stance highlights his desire to stay out of rap feuds.
The debate over artists knowing when to “gracefully bow out” is common in the music industry. Drake’s reaction shows that such comments can still hit a nerve, even for top artists. The ongoing back-and-forth adds another layer to the complex relationship between two influential musicians. The Drake disses T-Pain retirement advice has certainly sparked conversations among fans.
