In the latest episode of his “Nappy Boy Radio” podcast, T-Pain talks about his history of being a simp for the beautiful women in his music. The term “simp” is slang for someone who shows attention and mild obsession with someone they are interested in or have sexual relations with.
During the podcast, T-Pain said, “I don’t have confidence in any of my music. I’ve always been modest, remember? I’ve always wanted a girl.” The music icon then mentioned some of his popular simp songs, such as “Bartender,” “I’m Sprung” and “I’m In Love With A Stripper.”
He said, per Insider, “’I’m Sprung’ — that’s about me just going to hell—the first real simp joint. ‘I’m In Love With A Stripper’ — never said I ever got it. I’m just saying I like him. ‘Bartender’ — never got him anywhere. He’s just a bartender. I never said we were in love or anything. Just me from afar.”

During an episode of his podcast, T-Pain brought on a guest, music journalist Rob Markman who commented on T-Pain’s simp era, saying, “We need him back in music, though.” The singer then responded with, “Simpin’? No, I think Drake already understands that.”
The interview isn’t the first time the “Buy U (Shawty Snappin’)” singer referenced Drake while talking about simple music. During a chat with DJ Akademiks in 2022, he described himself as the “Drake before Drake” in the music industry. He says he “fell in love” before people thought it was cool to be in love.
T-Pain Is Also The King Of Auto-Tune

Aside from being one of music’s greatest sims, T-Pain was one of the major music stars to use auto-tune when it first came out. In a recent interview with DJ Drama on an episode of “Radio Nappy Boy,” he discussed the standout voice and sound effects.
During the podcast, DJ Drama shouted out Jay-Z’s song, “DOA (Death of Auto-Tune),” calling it one of his best songs. T-Pain was left out by Drama’s choice, considering he relied heavily on auto-tune at the time. However, he has since admitted that today’s music stars have “refreshed” the use of auto-tune in their songs.
When asked about the rumor that he used to get paid for every person who used Auto-Tune, T-Pain confirmed it. He said, “Yes. exactly. It’s nuts; it is crazy. Some people volunteer, and others don’t know, that’s great. Diddy volunteered. Diddy gave me points on ‘Last Train To Paris’ ’cause he used Auto-Tune.”

Drake is known for many things, including his habit of name-dropping, especially his ex-girlfriends, in several hit songs. The Canadian rapper mentioned Rose Mary and Leanne Sealey in his song “Club Paradise,” Alisha in “Shot For Me,” Keshia Chante in “In My Feelings,” and Courtney in “From Time.”
During a February interview with rapper Lil Yachty on the debut episode of FUTUREMOOD’s “A Moody Conversation,” Drake talked about his name-dropping habit and said he regrets it. He said, “The lyrics are never malicious, but I’ve had someone tell me, ‘You know, it’s not necessarily what you say about me; that’s the fact that you said it.’”
