T-Pain is a Grammy award-winning artist, so you might expect the rapper to be a high roller. Well, he requested that a Phantom or Maybach be his ground transportation during his stay in Wilmington.

If you don't know, a Maybach is a $200,000 Mercedes and a Phantom is a $400,000 Rolls Royce.

Sorry, T-Pain. This is a university event. He was denied the transportation request and will instead be traveling in style with the Campus Life Van.

UNCW laid down the gauntlet on some other high-dollar requests made in his contract too.

The university denied T-Pain's request for a first-class plane ticket, along with airfare for his 14-member crew. They also said no to the request for a dozen rooms in a 5-star hotel with 24-hour room service and, get this, the Cartoon Network.

"I'mma buy you a drank"...but not at UNCW. The university nixed T-Pain's request for three bottles of Coconut Ciroc, three bottles of Hennessy Cognac, and a case of Bud Light Platinum. They also denied a request for cash per-diems for all of T-Pain's crew.

The rest of the rapper's requests were fairly mundane and even modest when it came to the meal request for fried chicken, mashed potatoes, salad and dessert as an acceptable dinner menu leading up to his performance at 9 p.m.

Lmao. That's some kind of ridiculous

What the hell is a T-Pain?

A guy who "raps" through a synthesizer for a living, and who apparently college students pay $20 to go see.

I do know what a Maybach and Phantom are but I think it still means I am gratefully ignorant.
Go Mets!!

I love all types of music including some rap, but some of these guys requests are ridiculous and absurd. I'm glad that they were denied. Why can't artists just perform?

Why can't Nik Brown just get more playing time?
