T-Pain has opened up about how a negative comment from Usher kicked off a difficult period in his life.
In the clip of an upcoming Netflix series, “This Is Pop,” published by Entertainment Weekly Monday, T-Pain revealed he fell into years-long depression after being criticized for using Auto-Tune on music.
T-Pain says that the incident occurred in 2013 when he was sleeping on a plane en route to the BET Awards. He woke up because of an attendant who told him Usher requested his presence at the back of the jet where another music artist, now named Usher began criticizing T-pain for using Autotune often.
“Usher was my friend,” T-Pain said in the clip. “I really respect Usher. And he was like, ‘Man. I’m gonna tell you something, man. You kinda (expletive) up music.’ ”
T-Pain said he let out a “nervous chuckle” at the comment but soon realized Usher wasn’t kidding.
“I didn’t understand,” he said. “I thought he was joking at first, but then he was like, ‘Yeah man you really (expletive) up music for real singers.’ ”
According to T-Pain, Usher’s comment was the beginning of a trying time for his mental health.
