The “Freestyle King,” Lil Flip, shares his recollection of the infamous handshake, or lack thereof, between him and Atlanta music artist T-Pain. In a sit-down interview on Vlad TV, Lil Flip says that there’s a “99.9 percent chance” that Yung Joc’s version of events did not happen. Yung Joc claimed that Lil Flip snubbed T-Pain after a dorky introduction that was not cool enough for the H-Town rapper.
When Joc approached Lil Flip, the interaction was chill, according to Joc.
“T-Pain was like, ‘Oh gawd, I want to meet Lil Flip. I’m his biggest fan,'” Yung Joc recalls in a previous Vlad TV interview. “The [expletive] Flip come down like, ‘Flip!’ That [expletive] like, ‘Joc, what’s up? What it do, baby?”
However, things didn’t pan out as planned when an excited T-Pain introduced himself to Lil Flip. T-Pain extended his hand out to Lil Flip to shake it, but the “Game Over” artist wasn’t feeling the nerd vibes. He allegedly looked T-Pain up and down and proceeded to continue his conversation with Yung Joc before walking away, leaving T-Pain quite hurt.
“Pain going to hate me for this,” Yung Joc continued. “Pain was like, ‘Ah, put it there.’ And [expletive] Flip was like, ‘Yeah…’ So, I was like, ‘Uhhh.’ He just like dissed Pain like on some — Pain was excited. He was a fan of Flip.”
The dismissal from Lil Flip and Yung Joc buying T-Pain drinks to make him feel better allegedly inspired T-Pain to create the hit record “Buy You A Drink,” according to Joc. But, after Yung Joc’s version of events went viral, T-Pain called it “cap” and Lil Flip went on Vlad TV to deny the incident. Although Lil Flip barely remembers the Dallas show at which the incident occurred, he doesn’t believe he dissed T-Pain.
“I got a memory like an elephant. I remember 99 percent of the [expletive] that has happened in my life. It’s a 99.9 percent chance that, that didn’t happen. I ain’t got no problem with T-Pain.”
If Lil Flip did play T-Pain back in the day, the tables have certainly turn. Nowadays, Lil Flip is open to working on music with T-Pain. Outside of this slight comical moment, Lil Flip is currently looking forward to his collaborative project alongside fellow Houston rap architect Z-Ro, on the legendary June 27th freestyle.
