50 Cent once put lotion on T-Pain while they were shooting a music video, according to the Nappy Boy himself.
During a recent live stream on Twitch, the Florida singer/rapper recalled a time he was on set with 50 when the G-Unit boss noticed that his hands were “ashy.”

Being the “thoughtful” guy he is, 50 Cent apparently grabbed some lotion and rubbed it into T-Pain’s hands, even moisturizing the skin in between his fingers.
“I’m not trying to shame him or anything, I’m just saying how thoughtful he is,” he said. “The n-gga saw that my hands was ashy and he put lotion on my hands.

“We were shooting the video. This is 50 Cent. The n-gga grabbed my hands. He was getting in between my fingers and shit.”
When someone in the room asked: “And you just sat there?” T-Pain replied: “Oh, absolutely. You know why? Because the n-gga got muscles.”
It’s unclear when T-Pain’s story took place exactly, but the pair both appeared on Puerto Rican reggaeton duo Wisin & Yandel’s 2010 song “No Dejemos Que Se Apague,” which received a video treatment.
T-Pain recently opened up about being a “simp” while citing a number of his biggest hits, before giving Drake the current simp crown.
“I had zero confidence in any of my music. I was always the simp, remember?” T-Pain said on his Nappy Boy Radio podcast in May. “I was always the n-gga that didn’t have any confidence that anything could happen at all. I was always wishing for a girl.
“‘I’m Sprung’ — that was about me simping to hell. First real simp joint. ‘I’m in Love with a Stripper’–– never said I ever got her. Just said I liked her a bunch. ‘Bartender’ — never took her anywhere. She was just a bartender. Never said we fucked or anything. Just me simping from afar.”
T-Pain then said “I think Drake got it covered” in response to his guest, journalist Rob Markman, saying that type of music needs to come back.
