Hip-Hop superstar Jay-Z and T-Pain have reportedly ended their beef. Following the release of Jay-Z’s track D.O.A., which took aim at fellow rappers’ overuse of auto-tune, the two artists’ relationship was shaky at best. T-Pain went from sharing the stage with Jay-Z at last year’s Hot 97 Summer Jam concert to dissing the New York MC at a Las Vegas pool party.
Though he later apologized to Jay-Z on the track More Careful, the two hadn’t ran into each other until the Grammy Award ceremony in January. According to T-Pain, the two met up face to face at the event and apologized to each other.
“We talked at the Grammys,” said Pain to MTV News. “Word for word, he said, ‘That’s f*cked up the way you took that song.’ I’m a [crazy] n*gga, so we gonna take the song like that. That’s how we take songs. He was like, ‘I didn’t mean nothing by that.’ I was like, ‘I already put out my apology song. So there you go. My bad. I apologize. Apologize for taking a song like that.’ We shook hands, did the little chest bump. That was the end of that.”
In an attempt to prove that he can carry an album on his own, the southern rapper also recently stated that fans should expect fewer collaborations on his upcoming project.
“I had to slow down on guest appearances because a lot of people were saying that Thr33 Ringz was only as good as it was because it had other people on there. I just wanted to prove some people wrong,” he said.
T-Pain’s upcoming album titled Revolver will be released later this year.
