T-Pain used to take credit for country songs he wrote. However, the "All I Do Is Win" rapper decided to stop doing so because of the racism he faced.
The 39-year-old opened up about that matter in a video shared on Instagram. "Good music is good music. I don't give a f**k where it come from or what style it come in. All the people I know feel like it's not cool to listen to other genres of music," he began.
T-Pain went on to note, "Country music is where I get all my harmonies. Country and gospel music - that's where all my harmonies come from." He then revealed, "I done wrote a lot of country songs."
However, he has "stopped taking credit for it because as cool as it is to see your name in those credits and s**t like that, the racism that comes after it is just like - I'll just take the check." The emcee continued, "Don't put me on that s**t; I'll just take the check, bro."
Speaking of credit, T-Pain once claimed that Kanye West stole his lines. Ye allegedly recycled the lines from his song "Danger" and then used them for the latter's 2010 album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" despite calling them "corny."
"Let me talk about a time that one of my corny lines got stolen," the emcee said during a live stream. "I'm so prepared for this, and I love this. Bro, Kanye stole one of my corny lines. I couldn't believe it. Kanye stole one of my corny lines after he told me it was corny."
T-Pain, who worked with Ye on "Watch the Throne" in 2010, noted that he was also recording his mixtape "prEVOLVEr" at that time. Claiming that he showed the mixtape to Ye, T-Pain shared, "I got a chance to show Kanye my f**king raps. And he's not like super hip to my raps. He's not been a fan of mine long enough to know that I actually rap, too."
"And I get a chance to show him how I rap. It was either 'Prevolver' [or] it was one of the Pre mixtapes before I released it," T-Pain added. "And on one of the songs I said, 'I got beef like two burgers/ You n***as win slow and I'm smarter than Steve Urkel.' Now, keep in mind the Winslow family, right. Corny as f**k. I knew it was corny when I said it."
