T-Pain Jokes About Rumors of Being ‘Broke’

Fans wondered about the singer’s financial stability after he compared commercial airfare to catching a private flight.

T-Pain gave a hilarious comeback to those pocket-watching him.

Last Thursday, March 6, the two-time Grammy winner put his Instagram followers on a game that flying a private jet costs an exorbitant amount comparable to a modest commercial flight. In the reel below, T-Pain broke down that a roundtrip private flight between Atlanta and Las Vegas would be a hefty $126,000. “And y’all are asking me–do you understand what I’m saying?” he joked. “Are you OK now? Do you feel like it? ‘No private jet? You’re not taking a private jet?’”

The answer was no, but this didn’t stop followers from speculating that the R&B singer was financially strapped. But shortly after the video was posted, T-Pain showed his fully decked-out yacht in a follow-up clip with a funny caption reading, “yOu dIdNt fLY pRIvaTe???”

“I guess I'm broke. Anyways here's the yacht I'm staying on," he wrote over the clip.

T-Pain gave viewers a boat tour, showing his bar, outdoor dining space, entertainment center and jacuzzi, which he dubbed a “little yacuzzi.” “Oh, I’m enjoying,” he said at the video’s conclusion. “This is a part of the enjoyment.”

There’s no need to worry if the singer has a consistent cash flow, as he often makes content on his Twitch, has a Nappy Boy Gaming channel, and has occasional live performances.
