T-Pain appreciates money more after going broke
T-Pain went from having US$40 million to having to borrow money to buy his children burgers.
The 33-year-old rapper - who has children Lyriq, 15, Muziq, 12, and Kaydnz, nine, with wife Amber Najm - has reflected on how he’s been “on each end of the spectrum” financially and his lows have given him more of an appreciation for the value of cash.
Speaking on The
Breakfast Club, he said: “So now I know what the high end is and what the low end is. I’ve been mega-rich, you know, I’ve been super broke, right in the middle of thinking I was megarich, and then got rich again, and you know learned how to really give a s**t about money.”
To emphasise how bad things got, he spoke of the moment he had to borrow money just “to get my kids Burger King”.
But the Masked Singer winner is now doing far better financially and admitted his new outlook has only made him feel more proud of his work.
He admitted he almost lost his house at one point, and recently revealed he is more proud of being able to provide for his family than anything
else.
