T-Pain rented his Bugatti to DJ Khaled for $3,000. It ended up in a music video where it looked like someone else's car. That was the end of the friendship.
The song was Ace Hood's "Bugatti."
The Bugatti in the video was T-Pain's.
He waited for someone to say so. Nobody did.
"It was just like, yep, cool car."
So he said it himself.
"That's my car. DJ Khaled paid me three grand to use my car."
Khaled called him.
"That's what you're doing?"
T-Pain said they made it look like the car was theirs. Khaled told him to watch the video again.
"Okay, you didn't say it. But okay."
Then the ask.
"Take it back. Take the post down."
"I kind of still stand by what I said."
The post didn't come down.
One more problem. The photo he posted to call them out showed Khaled's own artist, Ace Hood.
"You just used my artist in the smear campaign."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
His summary, years later:
"This is why me and Khaled, to this day, don't f*** with each other."

No coke rants. No yelling at his phone on IG live threatening people. They was playing with his money, he took them to court & they found out the truth.
Jay-Z offered Bacardi $1.5 billion for its half of their cognac. Bacardi said no. Fourteen months later Bacardi paid him $750 million in cash for half of his stake, by his own account
2012. Jay-Z and Bacardi launch D'Ussé as a 50/50 partnership. He raps about it, Bacardi makes and ships it
December 2021. Jay offers Bacardi $1.5 billion for its half of the brand. Bacardi says no
Court papers later show how far apart they were. Jay's side put the value at $2.5 billion. Bacardi's side put it at $460 million. Bacardi said he walked away from a "handshake deal" and demanded twice what was offered
October 2022. Jay sues in Delaware to see the books. His argument: the buyout terms gave Bacardi a reason to run the brand down before paying him out
February 2023. Settlement. Bacardi goes to at least 75%. Jay keeps the rest. This year he told GQ he took $750 million in cash for that quarter
In the video below, GQ asks him if he has reached the top floor. His answer:
"The next step is, like, owning the building"
GQ had reminded him of a billionaire partner who once stayed a floor above him in the same hotel. Jay's update: "No, you're staying at my hotel"
The case for Bacardi: they built the bottle, the distribution and the shelf space
The case for Jay: the bottle sold because of his name
$1.5 billion offered
$460 million, Bacardi's side
$2.5 billion, Jay's side
$750 million in cash

Kevin Hart bet $200,000 on the worst hand at the table. Then he told the poker pro holding pocket queens exactly what he had.
He had ten-three. He told Sam Kiki he didn't have a king, and he was telling the truth.
That sounds insane until you know how pros think.
Mike Caro, the guy who basically wrote the book on poker tells, has a rule every serious player learns early, "weak means strong, strong means weak." Most people at a poker table act the opposite of their hand without even thinking about it. A guy who's really beat goes quiet and prays you check. So pros learn to flip whatever you show them.
So when Kevin says "I don't have a king," Kiki's brain flips it to "I have a king and I'd love a call."
Now think about who's saying it. Kevin has been getting paid to make people believe him on camera for 25 years. Anything he says at that table, a pro is going to treat like a bit. Kiki has to figure out whether a professional actor is acting, with $200,000 riding on the answer.
The part I love is that Kevin has been on the other side of this exact move, against the same guy.
Last season on the same show, Kiki had pocket sevens in a $424,500 pot. Kevin was stuck in the tank, saying he didn't think Kiki had anything. So Kiki offered to let him see one of his cards. Kevin flipped it over and it was a seven. That was a real card from Kiki's real hand, and it still felt like a trick. Kevin called and lost the whole pot.
Kiki holds the record on High Stakes Poker for the most money won in a single season. Reading people is his entire edge. That's what makes the truth so nasty against a guy like him, because the better you are at sniffing out lies, the longer you'll spend hunting for one that isn't there.
Watch his face while he tries to figure out if Kevin Hart is joking.

Waka Flocka says he was making about a quarter million dollars that weekend. Then a man at an Atlanta car wash shot him over a chain and a bracelet.
"I got hit four times with one bullet," he says. It "hit my shoulder blade, came through my ribs, hit one of my lungs and almost pinched my spinal cord."
January 2010, before his debut album. Police said an armed man demanded his jewelry. Waka says he refused to give it up: "You got to kill me for it." He says he was trying to knock the man out when he hesitated.
He knows who did it, he says. He never wanted him dead.
Flockaveli came out later that year. Today he calls the shooting a blessing.
In the video below, he tells the story himself, down to what he says he deserved.
