(KTLA) – Rapper and singer T-Pain said he was the victim of a hit-and-run crash in Atlanta early Monday morning.
While still at the scene, he posted a video message on Instagram directed at the unknown suspect.
“[I know] times is rough these days but whoever just f—ing ran into the back of my G—-m truck and whoever just hit me and my wife, my road manager, my driver — whoever just did that s–t and drove the f–k off, life’s about to get so much worse,” he explained with a smile.
The “Bartender” singer pointed out that the suspect left behind clues.
“You left the whole G—-m front of your truck, so we know what we’re looking for now. You left your f—–ng baby toys so now we know you got kids!”
While traffic accidents are frightening, the Tallahassee, Florida, native remained in good spirits.
“Sh–t is going too great for me to not make me want revenge right now because you drove the f–k off. And boy, that was the worst part.”
He then laughed and said the wreck threw him off schedule as he had a packed agenda.
Two police cars, an ambulance and a fire truck can be seen in the video at the crash site. You can see EMTs tending to the artist’s driver.
“Thank God I’m alive,” he said as he appeared unharmed.
He ended his video saying this to the suspect: “I know things is going bad for a lot of people. I don’t know if you was drunk. I don’t know if you ain’t pay your insurance. I don’t know what’s going on in your life.”
Celebrities left comments offering their support.
“I’m in ATL and these are the WORST drivers I have ever encountered in my life,” wrote actress Amber Riley. “There are multiple accidents every single day on the highway when I go to work in the morning. No one uses an indicator light, nobody looks before they get over, and they will hop in front of you even if it’s just an inch between you and another car. I. Am. TIRED.”
Actor Jaleel White commended T-Pain’s positive attitude. “If ‘Kill ‘em with Kindness’ was a person. Glad you and wifey are okay,” White wrote.
Producer and rapper Timbaland left three prayer hand emojis.
In the comments, the “All I Do Is Win” singer described the vehicle as a “2003-2007 Chevy SUV that probably looks like they hit something super hard and missing the grill.”
He also wrote that people told him his neck and back may be sore in the morning. He then joked that they were underestimating how much his neck and back were already hurting from “just being old.”
