American singer Faheem Rasheed Najm also known as T-Pain has revealed how co-singer Usher made him go into depression, after an encounter between the pair.
According to him, that conversation was the “very moment that started a four-year depression for me.”
T-Pain 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.’”
he 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.’”
