"I don’t know if she wanted anybody to know that …"

Oops.

In a recent interview with New York Magazine, T-Pain accidentally let the world know about FKA Twigs' alleged secret engagement to Twilight actor Robert Pattinson: 

Will FKA Twigs be on your new album?
Well, the first time we even met each other, we met in the studio. Her music’s changed a lot since then. But she’s on tour so much, and anytime I call her, she’s in a different place. And she’s engaged now, so that’s about to be a whole other thing. [Laughs.]

Wait, she’s engaged? That's news to me.
Yeah, to ol’ Patty [Robert Pattinson]. I don’t know if she wanted anybody to know that …

So is T-Pain still invited to the wedding? Hope so.

In other T-Pain news, the rapper drew some ire from fans recently during a listening session in New York City for his new mixtape The Iron Way. T-Pain used Aaliyah's vocals in track "Girlfriend" and was addressing the criticism he was receiving for including her on the song.  

"First of all, let me just a lot of people pissed off about that for some reason. I’ve seen people directly say, ‘He doesn’t deserve her vocals.’ And I’m trying to figure out what the fuck did I do. So what happened was they were doing the Aaliyah X album and they came to me for a feature on the album. They had bunch of sessions of her unused tracks. So, instead of being a dick and charging the shit out of them, I was like ‘Yo, just give me one of the sessions’ and they were like ‘Cool. We ain’t gotta pay you right?’ It was just like a swap. I did a song for her album and they gave me one for mine.

Then T-Pain took on the issue people had with him using auto-tune on Aaliyah—and this is where he really caught some flak: 


"People tend to—I don’t know, man. I’m not trying to discredit Aaliyah in any kind of way. But you know how sometimes when people die—yeah. You know how somebody’s an asshole their whole life, but when you go to their funeral it’s like ‘This guy was the greatest man that ever walked…’ No, I’m just sayin’!

"No, I’m not saying Aaliyah. But it’s like because she passed, nobody is deserving of being next to her. Nobody’s good enough. Nobody is good enough because she passed. If she was still alive, then everybody would’ve been like, ‘Oh! She’s tryna be Beyoncé!’ If she were still alive right now. But now that she’s passed, it’s like ‘Nobody could be her! Nobody could be her!’ That’s just how I feel. That’s how it goes. And that’s how people are, man. People look for shit to talk about.”
