T-Pain has been rear-ended in a hit-and-run accident outside of Atlanta — but fortunately, the “Buy U A Drank” hitmaker escaped unscathed.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday (April 21), T-Pain shared video evidence of the aftermath of the wreck, explaining that the careless driver smashed up his ride about a mile away from his home, and that the accident happened as he was leaving the airport.

“Times is hard out here, man,” he said, laughing. “Whoever just fuckin’ ran into the back of my goddamn truck, man, whoever just hit me, my wife, my road manager… whoever just did that shit and drove off? My n-gga. Life’s about to get so much worse.”
He continued: “First of all, n-gga: you left the whole goddamn front of your truck, so we know what we’re looking for now. You left your fuckin’ baby toy. So, we know you got kids.

“Look, I know times is hard. And I know things is rough out there. But I tell you what: shit is going too great for me to not make me want revenge right now.”

The comments on the post revealed that T-Pain was taking the crash somewhat in stride as he joked: “Ppl that are saying my neck and back gonna hurt tomorrow are really underestimating how much my neck and back was already hurting from just being old [laughing face emoji].”
He added: “Also we’re in Atlanta a mile away from making it home from the airport. It was a ~2003-2007 silver Chevy SUV that probably looks like they hit something super hard and missing the grill.”

The singer also received messages of support from some of his peers, with comedian Affion Crockett writing: “Glad you’re good bro” and Timbaland leaving praying hands emojis.
T-Pain’s joy in the face of tragedy isn’t shocking to his fans, however.
Back in February, he revealed that he’s happier than he’s ever been in his career, something he had not felt for the majority of his time in the public eye.
Taking to Instagram to promote his recent song “Dreaming,” the Florida native added to the positive vibes of the track by explaining to his supporters why he’s feeling so good.

“Am I overall happy? My n-gga, absolutely,” he said. “This about the happiest I done been in the last…a lot. I been very, very sad and fucked up for a long time. But my wife has been there for me a lot.
“But you know, career wise? If you’re talking about career wise, happiest I ever been. I’m actually in control. I got a good team around me. Yeah, I’m happy as shit.”
