T-PAIN: My Big Mouth Cost Me

T-Pain says he was all set to sign with YMCMB until two things got in the way: his big mouth and his drinking.

He tells VladTV, "My management came to me and said, 'Baby, Wayne, and Slim got together, they talked and they don’t want to sign you because you’re a liability… You drink too much. Sometimes you make a fool of yourself. Sometimes you tell the truth about things that shouldn’t be told.' I thought, 'We are all real [N-words]. I thought, 'We were real mother[eff]ers.’ You don’t hide nothing. That’s what we do.”

Pain does admit that when he later confronted Baby and Slim about their decision, they claimed his management had exaggerated their concerns. Regardless, Pain never signed with the label.

Kenny Says:

• T-Pain really is a bit of a loose canon.
• The big mouth and the drinking are probably related. 
• You're in bad shape when Lil Wayne thinks your lifestyle makes you a liability :-)
