T-Pain Bio, (Age, Full Name)
T-Pain was named Faheem Rashad Najm when he was born on September 30, 1985, in Tallahassee, Florida, the U.S. to parents Shaheed and Aliyah Najm. He was brought up in a family that was highly religious even though it looks like they struggled to make ends meet. T-Pain’s parents are devout Muslims who tried to raise him as such, but he has never had much liking for the bindings of religion and rather chose to do without being bound to the Islamic religion or any other.
From when he was quite young, his father remembers him always having a drumstick in his hands. His parents soon saw the gifts in him and took major steps at encouraging him. By the time he was 10, T-Pain had gathered enough knowledge to turn his bedroom into his own private studio after which his father pulled him out of middle school and began to homeschool him on creating good music is that he was also into music but could not get signed to any label.
Career
T-Pain’s journey to professional music began when he joined the rap group Nappy Headz whose cover of Akon’s single “Locked Up” got a huge hit and got T-Pain signed to Konvict Muzik. With the label, he released his debut album Rappa Ternt Sanga in 2005 to massive success and critical acclaim. By the next year, he began work on his second album with Zomba Label Group and Jive Records in addition to Akon’s label. The album Epiphany eventually dropped really hot on the 5 of June 2007 and made it to the top of Billboard 200 in its first week. He had earlier released its lead single in which he featured Yung Joc.
Stamping his mark in the music industry, he established his record label Nappy Boy Entertainment in 2005. Under this label, he began work on his third studio album in conjunction with Lil Wayne and other music bigwigs. The album which he titled Thr33 Ringz eventually dropped in November 2008.

In the same year also, he tried his hand at acting, the first of which was his debut as Frylock in a live-action episode of the adult animated series Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

In the same period, she also made the eye-popping discovery that she was interested in women. They soon found common ground by taking the decision to not be with anyone alone. It became a matter of threesomes and it seems to have been working well for them as they are still going strong together.
The openness in their marriage may have kept them together, but trouble came knocking a second time when rumors came up about T-Pain expecting a child with one Elisa Hood aka Ms. Cherry after her involvement with the couple in a threesome.
