Honor Thy Father and Mother? Celebs Who’ve Fallen Out with Their Parents
T-Pain and his Father Shaheed Najm
Growing up in Tallahassee, Florida, T-Pain had a close relationship with his father. In 8th grade his father home schooled him, and apparently in such an enclosed space caused tensions to rise. Having frequent arguments with his father, and leaving the house multiple times the two were always able to rebuild the bond. But in 2005 T-Pain accused his father of trying to get $250,000 of back fees for managing him before he signed with Akon’s Konvict Music.
T-Pain’s father said that he did ask his son for some money for back pay, but T-Pain exaggerated the amount. The real reason for their rift was that there was the issues of his father’s crack cocaine usage.
The rift has since been mended between the two, before the father went into a coma due to his bad heart issues. But he’s recovered now.
