Was T-Pain’s Rolls Royce Repossessed?

When the deposits stop hitting the bank account, repossessions occur. For rapper turnt singer Faheem Rasheed, aka Tallahassee Pain, or bka “T-Pain” Najm, it appears as though his Rolls Royce Ghost received the take-back treatment.

In a time where the “Got Money” singer should know about the business of show, he even admitted that you should have people that watch the people that watch your bankrolls.

After reportedly burning through $40 million dollars, though, does that require the responsibility of accountants keeping tabs on other accountants? Shouldn’t personal responsibility be the root of all human activities? There is no one in the business who will hold your hand and ensure that you take the proper steps to secure your finances.

For T-Pain, it seems as though he should be in line to discuss financial matters with more fiscally fit collaborators such as Lil’ Wayne or the artist formerly known as Kanye West, billionaire Ye.

When you look at the long list of hits that T-Pain has carved out, a piece from the mid 2000’s is like few artists ever offered. While he was concerned with keeping his notes in check, he should have paid attention to his banknotes and checks at the same time.

If there ever was a time for artists to not splurge on items and services it is now. The musician aka “Teddy Penderazzdown” fails to comprehend that it doesn’t matter how much money you make if you don’t manage it properly. The Auto-Tune crooner is supposed to be on the frontlines advocating for his own cash flow.

While there may not be people to coddle you in the industry, there are outlets now set up for artists to take control over their funds. A slew of media and entertainment accountants with better insight could help T-Pain if this in fact a repossession of the luxury vehicle.

To state he has no good sense when it comes to money may be an understatement. T-Pain is besieged by his consciousness. His mind is not attuned to recognizing the difference between thrift and spending. Basic elements of money management should be ingrained in his skull.

For this artist to enter a game of all the riches and diamond rings and not have the knowledge and foresight to establish himself as a viable businessman, is career attempted suicide. In order to produce great songs and albums, it’s incumbent upon artists like T-Pain to master his own money, and to not blame anyone but himself for his financial failings.

The “Good Life” singer should be, as he has said, able to “bounce back.” As long as he doesn’t involve himself in any illegal activities to get his weight up like what allegedly happened to singer Fetty Wap, T-Pain should return to his roots and transform into someone who knows the industry of music.

If he is to sustain a career and maintain his automobiles, he ought to take business classes and commit to the idea that he should be rationally selfish about his money. That means he should govern his dollars with the same shrewdness he protects his own life and wife and children, he should do so with his bank ledger.

T-Pain’s talents garnered him tens of millions. His unusual delivery and syrupy sweet hooks granted him his fortune. If he can figure out a way for him to continue to make art and still be in the black, that will be solely up to him. By taking the time to examine how much is coming in and how much is going out, T-Pain may not have to worry about another Ghost disappearing.
