‘Thank God I’m alive’: Rapper T-Pain reveals his car was rear-ended in a hit-and-run in Atlanta

ATLANTA, GEORGIA: Rapper T-Pain was involved in a hit-and-run accident on Sunday, April 21, when a speeding driver rammed into his car before fleeing the scene.

The accident took place in Atlanta when he was traveling home from the airport, per Daily Mail.

Born Faheem Rashad Najm, the Grammy-winning musician took to his Instagram and went live to share a video depicting the aftermath of the accident and showed the crash scene. Later, in an update on his Instagram Story, he shared that the culprit had been found.

T-Pain shares hit-and-run experience

T-Pain went live to show the crash site and directly addressed the driver who rear-ended his car. 

The 39-year-old rapper said, “Look man, I know n****s out here struggling and all that. Times is rough these days.”

Issuing a stark warning to the other driver, he said, “But whoever just f***king ran into the back of my goddamn truck, whoever just f**king hit me, my wife, my road manager… whoever just did that s**t and drove the f**k off? My n***a. Life's about to get so much worse.”

He noted in the video that his driver needed medical attention following the incident. He, however, appeared to be unharmed.

His wife of two decades - Amber Najm - also appears to be unharmed in the crash.

In the same video, he showed a piece of evidence that could be instrumental in finding the speeding driver as his car’s bumper fell off on the road.

The 'Buy U a Drank’ singer said in the video, “First of all, n***a, you left the whole goddamn front of your truck, so we know what we're looking for now.”

Referring to a toy the speeding car left at the crash site, T-Pain said, “You left your f**king baby toy. So, now we know you got kids.”

The rapper, however, noted that he was more frustrated at the other driver for speeding away after ramming into his car than he was about the crash. 

In a stern manner, he told the driver, “Look, I know times is hard. And I know things is rough out there. But I tell you what: s**t is going too great for me to not make me want revenge right now."

“Cause you drove the f**k off, and boy, that was the worst part. It wasn't even the wreck,” said the disgruntled rapper.

He continued, “I don't know if you was drunk, I don't know if you ain't paid your insurance, I don't know what's going on in your life.”

He concluded the video saying, “Thank God I'm alive.”

In the the background of the video, an ambulance and a few medics can be seen as well.

The rapper, who is famous for his robotic and melodic tunes, praised God again as he captioned the clip, “God is amazing. I'm aight. Back to work.”

The rapper further commented in the video, “Also we’re in Atlanta a mile away from making it home from the airport. It was a ~2003-2007 silver Chevy SUV that probably looks like they hit something super hard and missing the grill.”

He interacted with his fans on the Instagram post, as he quipped, “Ppl that are saying my neck and back gonna hurt tomorrow are really underestimating how much my neck and back was already hurting from just being old [crying-out-laughing emoji].”

Later, he shared with his fans through an Instagram Story that the culprit had been found. He wrote, “UPDATE: WE FOUND HIS A**,” and added three purple devil emojis.
