T-Pain enjoyed himself dancing on stage during a performance at a Las Vegas nightclub over the holiday weekend, but ultimately had to clarify that he wasn't trying to make a “political statement.”
The King of Auto-Tune appeared at Resorts World's Ayu Dayclub on Sunday (May 26) and one of the hilarious clips that went viral happened to be of T-Pain happily dancing in a white robe while Kendrick Lamar's “Not Like Us” blasted throughout the venue.
Some fans saw it as T-Pain picking sides in the Kendrick and Drake rap war of 2024, and the “Bartender” singer made sure to make it clear that he was just having fun and dancing on stage during his performance.
“Hope! You heard it here first guys. Don't drink and dance in a robe. In a way it's a political statement now,” she wrote in X on Monday (May 27). “Please don't let someone else's beef kill your fun. Let ppl dance PLEASE!! Mustard killed that f—-n beat tho. It would be very strange if you didn't dance it.'
“You have to stop and not dance to this song” Thene fan he joked while wrote another“Aubrey and the inflatable boys in your line huh?”
K. Dot's edgy anthem spent weeks back on the Billboard Hot 100 before “Not Like Us” was dethroned by Post Malone and Morgan Wallen's “I Had Some Help.”
While T-Pain felt the need to speak publicly about the dance video, he said Advertising sign earlier as part of the May cover story that the only people who should like him are those closest to him.
“There are five people in this house I have to like: my wife, my children, myself. That's all I need,” he said. “That's all I ever needed. So, you know, suck an ass.'
