T-Pain

Grammy winner T-Pain took on a new challenge by following in his family’s footsteps to become a restaurant owner.

T-Pain is getting into the restaurant business.

The diamond-selling artist celebrated becoming a restaurant owner in a series of Twitter posts on Sunday (May 8). T-Pain said he’s excited about his new venture because he’s stepping outside of his comfort zone.

“I DID IT BOIS!!!!” he wrote. “Im officially a restaurant owner. Got my keys today and I’m scared as s###. BUT! I can no longer ignore the paths God has set for me just because I don’t understand or I’m scared.”

T-Pain continued to discuss his restaurant via Twitter on Monday (May 9). He noted he’s following in his family’s footsteps since his parents were restaurant owners too.

“My mom and dad in front of their first restaurant,” he wrote alongside family photos. “I grew up in this place. I know the risks. I know how stressful it is. I know the success rate.”

T-Pain thanked his Twitter followers for their encouragement and support. He also addressed concerns about his success in the restaurant industry.

“The ppl that end up succeeding are the ones who can see through all the discouragements and go on to persevere,” he wrote. “My dad and I would pick up supplies for the restaurant every week and I know how scattered his mind was trying to balance all his different lives at once, but he was strong and he made a promise to the family that he was determined to keep, and I got that same fire in me.”

T-Pain concluded his string of messages with a funny anecdote about his father.
