T-Pain says he went into depression after Usher told him he ruined music with autotune
The music star says that moment changed his life.
American singer Faheem Rasheed Najm also known as T-Pain has revealed how Usher made him go into depression.
According to the music star in a new clip from the Netflix series This Is Pop, he was in a flight when an attendant woke him up and explain that Usher wanted to speak with him.
“Usher was my friend,” T-Pain said. “I really respect Usher. And he said, ‘I’m gonna tell you something, man. You kinda fucked up music.’”
The comment took T-Pain by surprise, and he initially thought it could’ve been a joke, but Usher then repeated himself.
He said that Usher then added, “‘Yeah man you really fucked up music for real singers.’ I was like, ‘What did I do? I came out and I used Auto-Tune.’ He was like, ‘Yeah, you fucked it up.’ I’m like, ‘But I used it, I didn’t tell everybody else to start using it.’”
For T-Pain that conversation was the “very moment that started a four-year depression for me.”
