Grammy Award-Winning Artist T-Pain To Sell Publishing Catalog And Part Of His Master Recordings

T-Pain is the next artist to cash in on his publishing and masters.

Variety reports that the Grammy-award winning artist, who has secured 10 Billboard Hot 100-charting singles, sold his publishing catalog and select masters to HarbourView Equity Partners. It is unclear at this time which songs are included in the deal or how much the purchased price was.

The announcement also coincides with the 20th anniversary of several T-Pain songs such as “Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin’),” “Bartender (featuring Akon),” “I’m N Luv (Wit a Stripper) (featuring Mike Jones),” Flo Rida’s “Low,” and “I’m Sprung,” among others.

“I’m excited for this next chapter and to partner with HarbourView Equity as they help preserve the legacy of my music,” T-Pain said. “This catalog represents years of hard work, creativity, and unforgettable moments, and I’m grateful to see it continue to reach new heights. I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.”

HarbourView Founder and CEO Sherrese Clarke commented:

“We are excited to welcome T-Pain, a true trailblazer in the music industry, to the HarbourView family. His visionary artistry and innovative spirit have left an indelible mark on modern music, and we can’t wait to collaborate and amplify his incredible legacy even further.”

T-Pain joins a list of artists in Hip Hop to sell their catalog to HarbourView Equity Partners including Wiz Khalifa. As AFROTECH™ reported, the 2023 sale of his music included songs such as “See You Again,” “Black & Yellow,” and “The Thrill.”

Additionally, Nelly also sold half his catalog to HarbourView Equity Partners in 2023 for a reported $50 million. He defended the sale, which encompassed “Ride Wit Me,” “Dilemma,” and “Hot in Herre,” during a podcast episode of “The Shop.”

“You hear a lot of people say, ‘I would never do it. I would never do it.’ Why wouldn’t you do it? That’s your equity, that’s your gold. That’s why you would never have generational wealth because what you don’t understand is that’s what you’re vying for. Every time LeBron [James] steps on that court, he’s doing the same thing with his body. That’s his equity,” Nelly explained.
