T-Pain has always wanted to go to the Super Bowl, and now he’s made clear that he wants to be “up next” for the Halftime performance.
The “Buy U A Drank” singer took to his Instagram on Monday (February 12) to share a hypothetical flier of himself in the Super Bowl 58 Halftime show lineup. The next slide in the slideshow featured a snippet of a video with Shannon Sharpe asking T-Pain if he’d be interested in performing in the halftime show, to which T-Pain said, “absolutely!”

In the final slide, T-Pain shared a screenshot of a fan who wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, that “we need” a T-Pain Super Bowl Halftime Show.
“I do got the hits [shrug emoji] @nfl,” he wrote in the caption.

Given Tallahassee Pain’s desires, it seems likely that he caught Usher’s Super Bowl Halftime Show, which smashed the numbers previously set by Rihanna and Dr. Dre.
The R&B singer’s performance in Las Vegas was watched by over 30 million households, which corresponds to around 100 million viewers in the U.S.

According to TV intelligence company Samba TV, that is 5 percent higher than Rihanna’s baby-bump revealing performance last year.
It is also a million more households than the audience for Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige, and 50 Cent’s star-studded set in 2022.

As for T-Pain himself, he recently made headlines when he vowed to fight Curb Your Enthusiasm star Larry David for “assaulting” Elmo on The Today Show.
David has been the butt of many a joke ever since he “attacked” Sesame Street star Elmo during his Today Show segment earlier this month.

That prompted the Florida native to write on X (formerly known as Twitter), “I know I didn’t just see my mans @elmo assaulted on live TV.”
T-Pain then took a screenshot of the tweet, reposted it to his Instagram stories, then wrote “@Elmo Say the Word” over the photo. He then put Migos‘s “Fight Night” in the background of the post to top it all off.
When T-Pain is not defending the honor of various Muppets, he’s secretly making bank by writing country music songs while remaining uncredited.
In a video uploaded to Instagram last last month, the Florida native revealed why he’d rather not let the world know about his hidden talent.

“Good music is good music. I don’t give a fuck where it come from or what style it come in. All the people I know feel like it’s not cool to listen to other genres of music,” he said.
He then singled out one category, adding: “Country music is where I get all my harmonies. Country and gospel music — that’s where all my harmonies come from.”
