T-Pain has always considered himself an avid gamer but during a recent interview with Steve-O’s Wild Ride! podcast, the autotuned crooner revealed he actually makes more money live streaming on Twitch than he does through his music.
“I’m making more money off of video games than I have made in the last four years,” T-Pain said. “Just playing them. Playing video games.”
He continued by saying he has no idea why Twitch keeps throwing him money, especially since he considers himself terrible at video games.
“I think that’s what makes it better,” he said. “I mean there are definitely good players out there that make a ton of money, but I think the entertainment that comes from somebody like me being trash at it, I think that’s just more valuable and more entertaining.”
