00:00T-Pain calls out DJ Khaled on Club Shay Shay for using Brotherhood to get free hooks.

00:06The 322 clip, which quickly surged past 542,000 views,

00:11serves as the first time T-Pain has ever publicly and explicitly called DJ Khaled out on record.

00:18The clip, posted by Club Shay Shay on X, captured Payne leaning forward in his chair,

00:23animated and unfiltered as he dropped what he described as

00:26the most consistent lesson learned in 20 years.

00:30Everybody is your brother while they can use you.

00:32T-Pain opened the clip with a blunt statement.

00:35Nobody is your brother. Nobody.

00:37He said many of the friendships and promises made during his rise were conditional,

00:42based on what he could offer, not who he was.

00:45He said, I've had DJ Khaled and everybody telling me, I'm your brother.

00:50Don't believe that. Forget DJ Khaled.

00:53Though he helped power records for Ace Hood, Rick Ross and Plyze,

00:56when his career dipped from 2010 to 2013, none of those brothers reached out or returned his calls.

01:04The clip exploded on X, pulling in 17,000 plus likes, 3,100 reposts, and 5,000 bookmarks within hours.

01:13Nearly all responses backed T-Pain, with many recalling how fast the industry turned on him

01:18after death of autotune.

01:21The consensus, he wasn't exaggerating, he was saying what others wouldn't.

01:24During that rise, he gave away more than 100 hooks,

01:28the same period when DJ Khaled dropped four major projects without him,

01:32despite Paine's vocals helping launch Khaled's early success.

01:35Audience reactions indicated fatigue with the industry's vague language of friendship and family.

01:41T-Pain's story added momentum to a broader re-evaluation of how labor,

01:44credit, and loyalty function within mainstream hip-hop.
