T-Wayne Claps Back At Criticism Over His Name After T-Pain & Lil Wayne's Album Dropped

T-Wayne says he can’t help that his rap name is what it is. That’s his defense to those questioning the Houston rapper’s name in light of T-Pain and Lil Wayne’s collaborative album, T-Wayne.

Tyshon Dwayne Nobles, known for his “Nasty Frestyle,” released a video to TMZ with himself speaking about the situation.

“I’ve been getting a whole lot of backlash for no reason, just ’cause my name is T-Wayne,” he said. “I didn’t choose for my name to be T-Wayne. It’s just my first name and my middle name put together. That’s just how I was born. So since I was little, it’s just been T-Wayne and all they fans just been coming at me ‘You need to change your name. You need to stop that. Your career is done. Don’t ever try to compare yourself to legends.’ But I didn’t. That’s just my name. That’s just what I was born with. I’ve been getting a crazy reaction from being T-Wayne.”

He has a message for those coming at him and asks the haters to mind their own business as he personally has no beef with T-Pain and Weezy, whose T-Wayne album was eight years in the making before being unleashed from the vault this week.

“To all the fans coming at me, all I gotta say is, why you mad? Why are you so mad right now? Why are you upset?” T-Wayne asked. “This don’t got nothing to do with y’all. This not even y’all’s business. Why are y’all so upset between what me and this man got going on? And we ain’t even got nothing going on. I’m not going to stop my world just ’cause somebody dropped an album that ain’t got nothing to do with me, they just use my name. It don’t got nothing to do with me though, so I’m gonna keep my name as T-Wayne. I’m gonna stay T-Wayne forever and that’s what it is. But it’s not beef or nothing like that.”
