T-Pain's Own Pre-Grammy Party



The Stars weren't just coming out for the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles this weekend. T-Pain, who was scheduled to perform alone on February 9, 2008, at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip, decided to invite a few friends. The night started out a few hours late (T-Pain was scheduled to start at 9:00pm; did not start until 11:15pm) but the crowd didn't mind by the end of the night. First among the list of friends stopping by to support the show was new, up and coming rapper, GORILLA Zoe ("Hood N****") who performed two songs including his debut single. He was followed by a surprise performance by Chris Brown (who was announced to be dining with Rihanna at the venue). Chris performed "Kiss Kiss" with T-Pain, along with "Wall to Wall" and before performing their newest single together, "Shawty Get Loose," Lil' Mama exploded on stage and performed her debut single, "Lipgloss." Her performance was followed by the group performance of "Shawty Get Loose" where Lil' Mama and Chris Brown re-enacted their dance battle as seen in the music video for the single. If these guest appearances were not enough, Busta Rhymes took the stage and performed a few of his hits including "Touch It" and "Break Ya Neck." Next, Akon was announced from backstage and he took the stage performing his hits including "Smack That," "I Wanna Love You," and others before taking a stage dive into the crowd where he did a short crowd surf. Finally, at 1:45am, T-Pain was about to end the night when he received word that Nelly was backstage. T-Pain would not end the night until Nelly came out and performed his hit "Flap Your Wings." WOW! Then to make a great night even better I met Ashanti, Busta Rhymes, and Nelly!
