T-Pain

“I'm N Luv (Wit a Stripper)” may be one of T-Pain’s biggest hits, but he wants you to know that his heart belongs elsewhere. “I'll be at a club, just surrounded by ho’s, and I’ll literally call my wife, like, ‘I'm so, so happy I married you,’” says the Grammy Award-winning singer-rapper-producer, who’s known as much for his robotic-sounding auto-tuned voice effects as he is for high-profile collaborations (which include Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Chris Brown on his latest album, Thr33 Ringz). But even though the 23-year-old is tied down, he still knows how to keep his marital bed rocking. “My wife and I download pornos together,” Pain shared. “She goes with me to strip clubs. She’ll be tipping bitches and everything.” We sat down with Pain to find out more, including when he lost his virginity, which of his many cars is best for booty calls and whether women think his vocoder voice is sexy.

1. You’ve said in the past that “What people really know me for is collaborations.” Who’s been your favorite sexual collaborator?

T-PAIN: My wife. [Laughs] She’s sitting right here, so I probably shouldn’t say a whole lot more.

2. What attracted your wife to you?

T-PAIN: I have no idea. I will say that she pimped me. [Laughs] She did all the talking. I didn’t have to say a damn word. But I like forward women. It’s easier that way.

3. How many women did you sleep with before you settled down?

T-PAIN: Wow. Whoo, lord. Maybe 35? I’d say 25 percent were one-night stands. I got married at a real young age—I was 18—so that didn’t really give me much time.

4. How old were you when you lost your virginity?

T-PAIN: Ten.

5. That’s really young. How did it happen?

T-PAIN: My girlfriend, who was 12, lived right across the street from school, so every day I used to walk her home. Her dad didn’t get home until five, we got out of school at 2:50, so…there was a lot of time. We did that for like a year.
