The Best Story You Will Hear All Day Involving T-Pain And An Area Strip Club.

A week ago today, for whatever reason, T-Pain was in Dallas and, better yet, at XTC Cabaret for a little fun (one assumes). The details of what happened next, however, are a little fishy. Doesn't really sound like fun, though...

According
to T-Pain’s tweets
he was asked to leave the DJ booth, which he had
somehow entered, and didn’t appreciate it. His tweet about it?

So
I was just at Xtc And just got thrown outthe Dj booth
what is the world comin to when we get thrown out the Dj booth. SO XTC,
FUCK YA HO

Later, the man who rose to fame with the song
“I’m N Luv (Wit A Stripper)” (see above) was even more upset about
what happened. And he again took to Twitter to air his grievances–and,
this time, he decided to take down Mexicans with him, apparently? True
enough.

So fuck Xtc I’m Neva goin there again cuz they
don’t
treat you right unless you Mexican no matter how much money

The
next morning, KBFB-97.9
FM The Beat posted an item on its site
, essentially saying that
that T-Pain got kicked out of the club for abusing VIP privileges
without paying for them and that, as a result, he got punched in the
face “a Mexican guy.” Which, if nothing else explains T-Pain’s second
tweet.

Tough to say what really happened, but, at that point, a
big enough deal had been made of it all where T-Pain
felt the need to release another statement
. Here it is:

“Aight
so here’s what happened. I went in the Dj booth of club Xtc, just
chillin tryin to get away from the crowd cuz ppl started askin for pix
and shit in the strip club (no thanx). While I was in there the Dj asked
me to shout out some of the hoods in Dallas (cool). As I was doin it he
was cuttin the music on and off (normal). The manager of the club came
in the booth and said “the girls can’t dance with you cuttin the music
on and off” (just a side note, the manager was a female). Then she said
“you got to get out” then I said “get out the booth or the club”? She
said “the booth” by that time I was pissed off anyways so I told all my
ppl “let’s go” then we hopped in the tour bus aaaannnndddd (wait for it)
left. Thank yo”

The
Beat also got a quote from a dancer at the club
:

“tpain
didnt get beat up but he did get clowned pretty hard. he got on the mic
and started sayin all kinds of crazy stuff and the girls on stage were
gettin all mad cuz he wouldnt shut up so the manager went in there and
yelled at his ass and told him to get out and quit messin up tha show.
he got all booty hurt and ran out lol how embarrasing.”

Anyway,
we wanted to get to the bottom of it all ourselves, so, after the jump,
an exclusive interview we just conducted with T-Pain himself about the
situation.
