Captain Morgan, T-Pain turn Bourbon Street into ‘Rum Street’ for Super Bowl LIX
It turns out T-Pain isn’t just about “Buy U a Drank”— he’s all about enjoying one, too. The Grammy-winning rapper and auto-tune pioneer has long been a fan of rum, often sharing his love for the smooth, sugarcane-based spirit.

His enthusiasm goes beyond just personal taste—he’s been known to experiment with flavors and showcase his knowledge of premium spirits.
