What did T-Pain say about Usher?

"Usher was my friend. I really respect Usher, he explained in a clip obtained by Entertainment Weekly. And he was like, 'Man, I'm gonna tell you something, man. You kinda f---ed up music.'" I chuckled a little bit, he said. I came out and I used Auto-Tune.  He was like, 'Yeah, you fed it up, T-Pain explained in the clip. But I used it, I didn't tell everybody else to start using it, he said he told the Love in This Club singer. "That is the very moment, and I don't even think I realized this for a long time, but that's the very moment that started a four-year depression for me, T-Pain said in his confessional clip. Previously, T-Pain has said he doesnt regret his use of the audio processor tech. "When you bring up Auto-Tune and stuff like that, I didn't apologize for that, he told Billboard in March.
