T-Pain recently found himself in the middle of unexpected controversy after a video of him dancing to Kendrick Lamar’s diss track aimed at Drake went viral.
The clip, which featured the “I’m Sprung” singer showing off his dance moves in a Las Vegas club, sparked backlash from Drake’s loyal fanbase.
In response, T-Pain took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to address the situation. He humorously cautioned against dancing while drunk, emphasizing that his dance wasn’t a political statement.
Pain urged fans not to let the feud between the two rap titans dampen their enjoyment of music, praising the track’s beat and insisting it was too good not to dance to.
This is not the first time T-Pain has commented on the ongoing beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. On his Nappy Boy Radio show in April, T-Pain made it clear he has no intention of taking sides.

He acknowledged the personal nature of their conflict and opted to support both artists without choosing sides.
Snoop highlighted the positive impact their rivalry has had on the rap game, emphasizing that it has pushed artists to improve their lyrical skills.
Drake teases new music
Meanwhile, Drake has sparked excitement among fans by hinting that new music could be released as early as this summer.
The buzz began when Gordo, Drake’s longtime producer who worked on his latest album For All The Dogs, posted an intriguing photo on Instagram.
In the viral post shared online, Gordo posted a picture with Drake flipping the middle finger at the camera, accompanied by the caption, “You guys ready for summer 2024…”.
