Tallahassee Honors T-Pain With Street Name, Celebrating Hometown Music Icon
T-Pain's hometown Tallahassee honored the Grammy-winning artist by renaming a portion of Pasco Street to 'T-Pain Lane' - the same street he walked as a child from Nims Middle School to Walker Ford Community Center. The rapper has since given back to the community by donating resources for a music studio at the center.
T-Pain receives key to Tallahassee
During the weekend celebration, Mayor John Dailey presented T-Pain with a key to the city, recognizing his contributions to music and culture. The mayor praised T-Pain's positive influence on Tallahassee's youth and his role as a community leader.
The celebration culminated in a sold-out concert at The Adderley Amphitheater in Cascades Park. Organized by Visit Tallahassee, tickets were completely claimed within a week. T-Pain performed his greatest hits, including "The Good Life" and "Bartender," expressing his gratitude to his hometown fans between songs.
"Everything that went on today was just a dream come true," T-Pain shared during the concert, describing the event as a "heartfelt return" to his roots.
The artist is scheduled to headline upcoming major events, including the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and iHeartRadio's Jingle Balls in Los Angeles, Miami, and Atlanta.
