According to All Hip Hop, T-Pain says there were plans for him to sign with Lil Wayne’s Young Money label. But the deal never manifested, due to some “he said, she said” accusations.

According to T-Pain,

“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,” Pain tells VladTV. “I thought we are all real n***as. I thought we were ‘real motherf**kers.’ You don’t hide nothing. That’s what we do.”

Pain later spoke with Cash Money label heads, Baby and Slim about their decision not to sign him. The brothers informed him that it was because they did not like his management. They claim his management lied to him about the 'liability' statements.

T-Pain also explained why the joint album with Lil Wayne was never released. The singer says he went through a dark phase where he would drink until he blacked out.
