T-Pain claims he suffered from a four-year depression after a plane encounter with Usher in 2013, during which the U Got It Bad singer spoke honestly and took him off guard.
The singer talks about a 2013 flight he took around the BET Awards in a new segment from the Netflix series This Is Pop. A flight attendant awoke him while he was sleeping and informed him that Usher wanted to talk with him.

T-Pain thought Usher was joking but he turned out to be serious
T-Pain was taken aback by the remark, which he initially mistook for a joke, but Usher then repeated himself according to a report by Complex.
The auto-tune king claimed that conversation was the "exact moment" that triggered a four-year depression for him, as he reveals in the show's preview trailer.
Of course, the chat took place a few years after Jay-Z openly chastised auto-tune in the Blueprint 3 hit DOA, but the singer claims the Usher incident was the catalyst—despite not understanding it for years.
This Is Pop is an eight-part series uncovering the real stories behind some of the biggest artists and moments in pop music history, according to Netflix's description.
