The "Buy U a Drank" singer told TikTok followers he'd rather take his royalty check than have to deal with harassment.
T-Pain says racism is the reason he no longer takes credit for country songs he’s worked on.
Late last month, the “Buy U a Drank” singer told TikTok followers how he’d rather take his royalties and not get recognition for country music he’s helped write because of the bigoted backlash he’s faced.
Defending his love of the genre in the video, T-Pain said, “Good music is good music. I don’t give a fuck where it comes from or what style it comes in.”
“All the people I know feel like it’s not cool to listen to other genres of music,” he went on, adding, “Country music is where I get all my harmonies.”
