Blender Magazine got an exclusive interview with Mr. Teddy Pinned Her Ass Down a.k.a. T-Pain. Check out a few excerpts from the interview:
T-Pain on rappers using the auto tune:
“At first, I was real pissed about them using the effect,” he says. “Like, You guys don’t need this—I do!”
T-Pain on his former manager, his father:
“...my dad asks for money every time I talk to him, and that’s just weird. He and I used to get along fantastic—until all the dollar signs.”
T-Pain on why he loves strippers:
“In Tallahassee, dudes would hire girls at their house and charge admission,” he recalls. “I remember f*cking one girl on a couch in the living room, in front of everyone. She kept her skirt on so it looked like a real intense lap dance. I loooved that!”

T-Pain paints a lively picture of domestic bliss: “My wife and I download pornos together,” he says. “She goes with me to strip clubs. She’ll be tipping b*tches and everything. I’ll be at a club, just surrounded by h*’s, and I’ll literally call my wife, like, ‘I’m so, so happy I married you.’”His marriage helps him to put the surreal life into perspective, and it helps him to keep sight of Faheem Najm when he’s recording as T-Pain. Even if it isn’t the sexiest topic, he enjoys mining aspects of matrimony for material. One of the funniest moments on Thr33 Ringz comes on the song “Therapy,” where a narrator tells an unloving woman, “I don’t need your sex, I’ll masturbate.”
“See, that line comes straight out of my life!” he says. “I’m married, and I jerk off all the time. Some R&B singers act like they getting sex every night. T-Pain is here to tell you: Ain’t no one getting sex every night!”
