Back in the early years of his career, T-Pain once hatched a plan to collaborate with a female rapper but unfortunately got ” hurt ” because he was flatly rejected.

The artist being mentioned is Nicki Minaj . This story was revealed by T-Pain in a recent interview. In 2007, although the male rapper born in 1985 enthusiastically invited the ” Super Bass ” singer, she seemed not very interested in responding to his messages.

Shared by Nicki Minaj.

” She was like, ‘Hey, I’m an artist too and you know I’m working on my stuff, man,’” T-Pain recalls. Even though the male artist only asked for a ” brief paragraph “, he was still refused. Admitting that his “heart broke ” because of Nicki’s answer, T-Pain did not think it was a “malicious” act. ” Maybe at that time I already had a crush on Nicki Minaj ,” he said.

In contrast, Nicki Minaj doesn’t have too many memories of what happened. After learning about T-Pain’s share, she left a long response on social networks admitting that she made a mistake and expressing respect for T-Pain’s talent. ” I don’t remember the story but it sounds like that’s what I might have said. Oh my god, what was going through my mind? He was already a big artist and I was still working underground. I was wrong because I was under a lot of pressure at that time .”

Once invited Nicki Minaj to collaborate on a project, but rapper T-Pain was rejected.

In addition, Nicki Minaj also thanked T-Pain and Kanye West for allowing her to use a sample for the track “Go Hard” on the mixtape “Beam Me Up Scotty” just re-released last month. ” Listening to this record over and over taught me a lot about harmonies or background vocals. His voice alone in the song is the best thing. I listen to the smallest detail ,” Nicki Minaj wrote.
