AceShowbiz - T-Pain is so "mad" that he has to cancel his show in the United Kingdom. The "All I Do Is Win" hitmaker announced on Sunday, August 21 that he won't appear at Titan Festival because he has tested positive for COVID-19.
The emcee revealed his COVID diagnosis through a video shared on Instagram. He said he got tested because two members of his crew are anti-vaxx. "Mad asf. Money missed. But I'd rather be safe," he wrote in the caption. "Thank you to the ppl in charge at @titanfestivaluk for understanding. And I apologize to my fans. #titanfestivaluk2022."
T-Pain also responded to a follower who replied to his post, "Weird comments. Also weird to mention 2 of your crew are antivax.... Does the shot for Covid stop the spread now?" To the question, the rapper explained, "no but I use them as a beacon. Because they're not just anti vax. They're anti everything that can stop you from getting sick at all."
"So if they get sick, the rest of the crew is like ah s**t it's coming for us too now," he further elaborated. "I'm sure they didn't kick it off but we've all been around the same ppl for the last few weeks. So. Yea. That."
Back in May, T-Pain drew backlash for rescheduling his Dalla show in the wake of Deep Ellum shooting. However, he has defended himself by stating in an Instagram clip, "Look, I understand that you know you had your plans and you wanted to go to a concert and 'oh my god this gonna be fun that night.' People f**king died. People f**king died and you think you're having a worse time than the people that f**king died because your concert plans got f**ked up?"
"For all the people that's saying 'oh man why'd you reschedule it the day before?' I'm sorry you didn't have to reschedule your entire f**king living life for a god damn concert," he went on arguing. "I'd rather not f**king be on tour then disrespect somebody that f**king died."
"Like, c'mon man I don't give a f**k about no f**king concert when it comes to people's lives. I don't give a f**k that your plans got-like what the f**k?" the hip-hop star continued. "I'm sorry that s**t didn't work out for you, guess who else it didn't work out for? The people that f**king died the other day. 'It's real s**tty to reschedule it the day before,' f**k that."
