Did T-Pain Diss Aaliyah After Being Criticized For Using Her Vocals In A Song? (Video)

Let it be a lesson learned that you should watch your mouth when referring to Aaliyah, at least a lesson learned for T-Pain. Over the weekend T-Pain held a listening session for his latest project where he debuted a new song that featured vocals from an unreleased Aaliyah track titled “Girlfriends”.  After previewing the track, T-Pain goes into detail about how he’s gotten criticism for using Aaliyah’s vocals on the song. Let’s face it, people still aren’t over the Lifetime movie massacre. They’re sensitive when it comes to Baby Girl. Hell, they even gave Drake problems. It seems the only person who used her vocals and met little to no criticism was Chris Brown in “They Don’t Know”. 

Anyway, fans weren’t too happy when T-Pain likened the criticism to an asshole dying and everyone saying they loved them at the funeral. “I ain’t discrediting Aaliyah in any kind of way but you know how when somebody’s an asshole their whole life and people go to their funeral like ‘this is the greatest man there ever was’…” Instantly T-Pain was heckled and booed by attendees who were trying to figure out why he would insinuate Aaliyah was an asshole or that people only like her now that she’s dead. “I’m not saying Aaliyah,” Pain answered, “I’m just saying because she passed, nobody’s good enough [to use her music]. If she was still alive everyone would be saying ‘Ahh she’s trying to be like Beyonce’.”

Chile, T-Pain, how far in your mouth can you stick your foot?

To be fair, judging from the snippet the song sounds cute and as an Aaliyah stan, I’ve been waiting for them to finish “Girlfriends” somehow. But T-Pain should consider not speaking. It’s not really his strong suit. If he felt Aaliyah was overhyped, why did he opt to use her vocals on a song?

Aaliyah’s in heaven like…

T-Pain later took to Twitter to basically tell us we’re all trippin’.
