T-Pain is an indelible legend in music , one of the biggest names to come out of Florida, and now his hometown will forever recognize his impact . The 40-year-old singer was immortalized in Tallahassee, Fla., with a street named in his honor.
This past Sunday (Nov. 10), the “I’m Sprung” singer was presented with a key to the city by Mayor John Dailey, and Pasco Street was renamed T-Pain Lane. The two-time Grammy winner performed in Cascades Park hours after he was recognized.
T-Pain is a man of the people, often reviewing new artists’ music on his streams or gaming with fans. Earlier this year, he opened up about some of the wildest experiences he has had with his loyal following. “Diapers, people’s faces. Obviously boobs,” he told GQ about the craziest things people have asked him to sign.
“You gotta have boobs in there. I don’t think I’ve signed anything more crazy than diapers. Diapers directly on the baby. Oh my god. All the time. People are always trying to be different, but it ends up being the same thing every time. It’s the craziest thing! You’re going to throw this away in like, two hours! You’re not going to keep this.”
