In other entertainment news, Briefly News reported that 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.

"I’m gonna tell you something, man. You kinda f***** up music," said Usher to T-Pain.

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.
