T-Pain, the maestro of Auto-Tune, once faced a wave of skepticism until the legendary Snoop Dogg embraced the tool, changing the game.
In a candid chat on ‘The Big Podcast With Shaq,’ T-Pain shared the challenges he faced with Auto-Tune. When Shaquille O’Neal inquired about any backlash, T-Pain confirmed, ‘Oh, that’s all there was.’ Despite the initial resistance, everything changed when Snoop Dogg tried it.
Snoop Dogg, known for his iconic presence in the music industry, used Auto-Tune extensively in his 2007 hit single ‘Sensual Seduction’. This move, according to T-Pain, was the breakthrough that turned public perception. ‘Who made it cool? Snoop. Snoop did it, and it was totally fine,’ T-Pain explained.
Meanwhile, T-Pain recently found himself amid rumors about his financial status. Critics baselessly suggested he was broke simply because he took a commercial flight instead of a private jet. Addressing the speculation, T-Pain invited fans to take a tour of his impressive yacht.
He sarcastically remarked, ‘I guess I’m broke. Anyways here’s the yacht I’m staying on.’ With a video on Instagram, he humorously confronted his critics, elaborating on the costs associated with private jet travel. ‘Why would you do that? In what world is that smart?’ he questioned.
T-Pain’s playful attitude towards rumors reflects his broader approach to criticism. ‘If it don’t make dollars it don’t make sense,’ he captioned his post, turning a negative comment into a laughing matter.
T-Pain’s experiences with Auto-Tune and public scrutiny demonstrate his resilience and humor, underlining his enduring impact on the music industry.
