Faheem Rashad Najm, better-known as singer-songrwriter T-Pain, is living the dream: he gets to work on Grand Theft Auto VI alongside Rockstar Games. However, it seems like T-Pain's new job is having unintended consequences.

In a livestream clip circulated on social media, T-Pain confirmed that he's contributing to Rockstar's anticipated sequel, which was finally revealed in 2023. In the course of bringing T-Pain aboard, though, it seems that Rockstar requested that he stop role-playing on NoPixel — a popular GTA 5 role-play server that runs on third-party servers.

At least one fan noticed that T-Pain was no longer on the server and asked what happened.

You're playing GTA 6 and open your iFruit, there's a message from T-Pain:

"Hey brotha, let's go bowling."

From Saints Row to GTA. I guess he wasn't gonna want to be in that shitty SR reboot.

He's an American singer/songwriter/producer that likes to experiment with vocal technology. He pioneered the usage of auto-tune in rap music during the 2000s. He moved on to twitch streaming in the late 2010s and has been doing smaller projects, podcasts, and generally fun creative content involving his chat.

You might know him from this famous Lonely Island song:



but he was also known for other famous dance hits in the late 2000s/early 2010s. Here is a small sample:
