<p data-pm-slice="0 0 []">&#8220;Where the cash at?!&#8221; <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/photos-t-pain-follows-in-his-parents-footsteps-by-purchasing-his-own-restaurant/">T-Pain</a> is securing the bag in several ways—through his label Nappy Boy Entertainment, his NFT project with MakersPlace, &#8216;The Phoenix,&#8217; touring, and more. During an interview with Steve-O on his podcast &#8216;Wild Ones!,&#8217; however, he revealed that he makes the most money by playing video games. Yes, playing video games on the streaming platform Twitch.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m making more money off of video games than I have made in the last four years,&#8221; T-Pain said. &#8220;Just playing them. Playing video games.&#8221; What&#8217;s ironic is the &#8216;Rapper Turnt Sanga&#8217; explained to podcast hosts he has no idea why Twitch keeps giving him money, especially since he considers himself terrible at video games.</p>

<p>&#8220;I think that&#8217;s what makes it better,&#8221; he detailed, &#8220;I mean, there are definitely good players out there that make a ton of money, but I think the entertainment that comes from somebody like me being trash at it, I think that&#8217;s just more valuable and more entertaining.&#8221; While T-Pain hasn&#8217;t released a new album since 2020, he did release a new single last month, &#8216;That&#8217;s Just Tips.&#8217;</p>
<p>According to Spotify, he currently has over 10,900,400 monthly listeners. His top song streamed on the platform is &#8216;Buy U a Drank,&#8217; featuring Young Joc, and it has over 460,500,200 listens. The Florida native has always been vocal about how the industry works. In December 2021, he tweeted a graphic of how many streams YouTube Music, Pandora, and Spotify require for an artist to be paid out $1.</p>

<p>Roommates, do you think you would consider being a gamer to get the coins like T-Pain?</p>
