That's what friends are for...
T-Pain has just revealed one of the cruel facts about the wonderful world of being a celebrity. Unfortunately, not everyone is a friend for the right reason, and T-Pain had to learn that lesson the hard way.
The singer and rapper has opened up about his depression that occurred in 2010. In the interview with MTV, he revealed that the only celebrity friends who supported him during the awful time in his life were Chris Brown and Ne-Yo.
"I did it (got sober) for (Brown). I did it for everybody, but, you know, Chris the most, because he was going through so much with all the backlash and stuff he was going through," he explained. "And I still called him, hit him up, visit him in the studio, checked on him, make sure he was Ok, went by his house, just popped up in places that he was (sic)."

He also added that singer Ne-Yo stuck by him as well. However, a lot of his other "friends" suddenly disappeared.
"Ne-Yo stayed down," he added. "Everybody else just kind of fell off and was just like, 'Aight, well, make a new song and we'll call ya (sic).'"
T-Pain's alcohol-infused downward spiral began in 2010 when his joint collaboration album with Lil Wayne fell through after Lil Wayne was sentenced to a year in prison.
T-Pain is known for his hit songs I'm Sprung, Can't Believe it, Buy U A Drank, and Bartender, as well as his collaborations with Kanye West and Jamie Fox which won him two Grammy Awards
