AutoTune connoisseur and Twitch streamer extraordinaire T-Pain was painlessly — and rightfully — awarded a day of his own by the Wisconsin state office during a recent stop on his ongoing tour.
Fifteen years have come and gone since we first heard the artist (ingeniously) rhyme the state's name with "mansion" on his 2008 track "Can't Believe It," featuring Lil Wayne. (Exactly the kind of "corny line" Kanye might steal.) Now, you'd better believe that T-Pain has been officially recognized by the city of Milwaukee, as well as the entire state of Wisconsin: June 11 has been declared "T-Pain Day."
The musician was surprised with the honour by state representative Kalan Haywood during Wiscansin Fest on the latest leg of the Road to Wiscansin tour, which sees T-Pain joined by the likes of Lil Jon, O.T. Genasis, K Camp and more.
Clips shared on social media show the artist tearing up on his hands and knees as he received the plaque, thanking fans for the love and support.
"The Mayor of Milwaukee, @cavalierformilwaukee has proclaimed June 11th as 'T-Pain Day' to be celebrated annually throughout the state," reads a post on the official Instagram page of Wiscansin Fest. "State rep @kalanhaywoodwi surprised @tpain on stage at #WiscansinFest to present him with a proclamation from the state office."
The post continues: "The proclamation recognizes 'Wiscansin Fest' as an annual event acknowledged by the state of Wisconsin. Thank you @cityofmilwaukee and the entire state of Wisconsin for this incredible honour."
Revisit "Can't Believe It" featuring Lil' Wayne below, and be sure to tip your local bartender extra handsomely next June 11.
Speaking of holidays, last Christmas season, T-Pain took it upon himself to remind Twitter that Napster does, in fact, still exist.
