T-Pain Is A 'Pain' In The Ass For Local Musos

If T-Pain throws shade towards "A-list" artist, who's to say he won't throw it towards local artist?

South African newspaper Sunday World is reporting that T-Pain angered fellow performers at Friday's Macufe African Cultural Festival in South Africa by exhibiting arrogant and disrespectful behavior backstage.

Under the headline "T-Pain in the ass for local musos," the article stated that T-Pain kicked local acts out of the backstage changing area because he refused to share space with them.

Festival organizer Joe Chakela denied the accusations, but conceded there was a policy in place to make sure no artists remained on stage after a performance.

“People must not come with their own stories. Nobody was manhandled or chased away from the stage,” he stated. “The policy was that artists who had finished performing must not go on stage or near it to watch T-Pain perform.”
