Diddy Pays T-Pain To Use Autotune
OK, this is batshit. Diddy is giving T-Pain half a point in royalties on his next LP, for giving him to go-ahead to use Antares’ Autotune software, which T-Pain neither owns, nor popularized. Who’s got Cher’s money? Sheeet!
“I just wanna voice that, this stuff just happened,” said a jubilant Pain in a Youtube video. “I didn’t do it. It’s just Diddy. I just wanna announce that show prices are going up, features… This takes everything to a whole nother level. All the people spreading rumors, saying T-Pain charges $100,000 for a show…I actually do now.”
The clip starts with Diddy claiming to officially have permission from The Pain to use Auto-Tune, before revealing his reasoning for awarding Pain with royalties off the album. “He didn’t negotiate with me,” said Diddy, “but as a gracious offer of gratitude, I’m giving him half a point on my album just because …Cause I got extra points too.”
“I know there’s a list of cats that he’s given permission to Ye, Wayne, Chris Brown and now myself,” he continued. ”That’s not pro-rated. That’s off the point off the album just because he let me dabble in the tune. It’s called graciousness, motherfuckas.”
Wow.

You’re right, he neither invented or popularised. But maybe he made it possible for the likes of Kanye and Diddy to use AutoTune without people saying ‘he’s just pretending he can sing’, and that has greatly tipped their effort-into-songmaking / radioplay ratio in their favour.
