T-Pain had an awkward interaction with a pedestrian who mistook him for Lil Wayne, but the “Buy U a Drank” crooner kept his cool and offered a poignant response.
“Look, I had to go to the gas station this morning for some gas and some condoms or something I can’t remember,” T-Pain said. “I just went in there and dude came in there and was like, ‘Yo is that your car?’ — and I’m driving the Cullinan, I’m driving the Rolls Truck — and I was like, ‘Yes sir’ and he’s like, ‘That’s a nice car’ then he left out the store. I came out the store he sitting in his truck and he said, ‘Excuse me sir, are you Lil Wayne?’ I said, ‘No sir, I’m not Lil Wayne’.
“He said, ‘Well you gotta be a rapper.’ I said, ‘I don’t have to be. There’s plenty of people that got that truck that aren’t rappers, I’m not a rapper though,’ and he was like, ‘Well I know you a rapper, man. I just don’t know which one. I’m gonna find out.’ I’m like ‘Alright, that’s fucked up.’
He added, “So anyways, go check out my new rap song ‘That’s Just Tips’ that’s available on streaming everywhere right now. so just go check that out so please so people won’t call me Lil Wayne no more. Make me famous again.”
