T-Pain says fans shouldn’t get too excited about a possible collaboration album with rap superstar Lil Wayne. The hip-hop singer tells Rap-Up that his joint effort with Weezy came to an end when Wayne went to jail for a weapons charge. T-Pain explains that they had finished most of the records before Lil Wayne’s legal problems took over everything. Here’s what he said:

“When [Wayne] got into his litte trouble, that was right at the peak of when we was like, ‘OK, let’s go. Let’s do this now.’ He finally had time, then he went to jail,” said Pain, who recorded eight or nine songs for the project before it was scrapped.

While he’s still up for it, he doesn’t think Weezy is interested. “Things happen and I’m pretty sure he’s over the whole idea now. I don’t even be bringing it up to him no more. I’m pretty sure he’s way past that right now. He’s doing big things.”

However, the two did collaborate for rEVOLVEr on the in-your-face anthem “Bang Bang Pow Pow,” produced by T-Minus.

Hummm I wonder what that means? I can smell a story coming.

While a joint album may never happen, fans can still enjoy Lil Wayne on T-Pain’s new album “Revolver.” The emcee appears on the song “Bang Bang Pow Pow.” T-Pain’s “Revolver” is in stores now.
