T-Pain Shares Rare Footage of First Time He Rhymed ‘Mansion’ With ‘Wisconsin’
'Wiscansin' has since become a trademark for the Florida singer. Check out video of the first time he uttered the famous phrase.
T-Pain performs onstage during Day 1 of the 2024 ESSENCE Festival of Culture presented by Coca-Cola at Caesars Superdome on July 5, 2024 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Florida singer found video of the exact moment in 2008 when he decided to rhyme “mansion” with “Wisconsin” while he was in the booth recording his hit song “Can’t Believe It” featuring Lil Wayne, which peaked at No. He posted the special moment on X and in the video he can be heard asking his engineer if that’s how Wisconsin natives pronounce the name of their home state as he tries to mimic the kind of broad, nasally midwestern accent that one would hear on a TV show like Fargo.
