T-Pain Arrested in Miami
R&B singer T-Pain was arrested Saturday evening during the Radio One Springfest concert in Miami after he refused requests from officials at Bayfront Amphitheater to cut his set short.
Pain, whose real name is Faheem Najm, was the closing act on a bill that included Trey Songz, Mims, Jim Jones, Rick Ross, Yung Joc, Rich Boy and others. t-Pain got irate when when officials called for him to finish his set early. He reportedly ignored the request and continued to perform.
According to a concertgoer, the police presence began to increase backstage as T-Pain’s manager bum rushed the DJ booth, pushing down a female cop along the way. The manager was apprehended by police before he could return to the stage.
Meanwhile, T-Pain continued to ignore requests to stop his show, and was in the midst of his hit single "Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin’)" when his music was finally cut off, witnesses say. He allegedly tossed his mic and became furious, jumping up and down, while throwing middle fingers at the police and dropping the f-bomb.
T-Pain and his crew left the venue and drove away in a van, but they were reportedly trailed by police who eventually pulled all members from the vehicle. The Tallahassee-born artist was arrested, although charges were unclear as of press time.
I guess his manager missed the fine print on the contract where it says they will lock your behind up if you act a fool!!
