T-Pain Wants Revenge After Hit-And-Run Accident
This morning on Shannon’s Scoop we talked about how T-Pain was rear-ended in a hit-and-run accident late on Sunday. And he was not happy.
He took to Instagram and posted a video where he said, “Times is rough these days, but whoever just ran into the back of my damn truck, whoever just hit me, my wife, my road manager, my driver, whoever just did that ish and drove the **** off, life’s about to get so much worse.”
“First of all, you left the whole damn front of your truck, so we know what we’re looking for now. You left your baby toy. So, we know you got kids. Look, I know times is hard. And I know things is rough out there. But I tell you what: ish is going too great for me to not make me want revenge right now.”
Craziness. I guess he was headed home from the airport when the accident happen and the other driver just took off. Can you imagine being that driver and seeing this post from T-Pain on IG? You’re at home staring at the front door just waiting for the cops to show up to your house. It’ll be interesting to see how all of this shakes out. But at least it sounds like everyone was safe in T-Pain’s vehicle. Check out his NSFW IG post below.

Looking for the best Mexican restaurants in Mexicantown Detroit? Whether you’re a local craving for or in town for the NFL Draft, we’ve got the hook-up! We wouldn’t have a whole area in Detroit dedicated to this cuisine if it weren’t authentically good! But before diving into some of the best spots, let’s talk briefly about Mexicantown’s history and what makes Mexican food authentic.
What Makes Mexican Food Authentic
My husband is Mexican. I asked him what makes Mexican food authentic to him. He said, “To me, authentic Mexican food has minimal ingredients with maximum flavor. So many spices are used to elevate otherwise bland ingredients into something amazing. The refried beans aren’t just pinto beans. And the rice isn’t just yellow rice. The spices that are added to it give it an authentic flavor. For me, authentic Mexican food represents lots of spices & has a colorful presentation. It’s also about the use of traditional kitchen tools. My Mom spent hours making food from scratch with a molcajete (mortar and pestle), tortilla press, and a comal.”
History of Mexicantown Detroit
Mexicantown is such a unique and vibrant area in Detroit. The area itself is considered to be within Southwest Detroit. While it was named “Mexicantown” in the late 80’s, the Mexican population in Detroit started setting in the area in the 1920s due to increased industrial labor jobs. Further surges of immigration decades later increased the population in the area. Not only are there authentic Mexican restaurants in the area, but brightly colored buildings are painted with amazing murals. The area is just so rich in culture. If you’d like to learn more about its history, check out the book “Detroit’s Mexicantown” By Maria Elena Rodriguez.
