Gallery: T-Pain's Most Ridiculous Chains

Image via Complex Original

It doesn’t take long to notice that T-Pain is not exactly “winning” in the style department. One look at his masks, top hats, and circus outfits makes us want to scratch our heads and scream, “what the fuck you wearing?!” As if his clothes weren't bad enough, the man loves to accessorize with mind-boggling chains that make us wonder if they’re actually real or just costume jewelry. And if the chains do cost more than his outfits, we feel sorry for him. Dude should've invested in real estate! 

But we don't want to be too mean. It's T-Pain's 26th birthday today and some of his chains are kiiiinda awesome. And he released a new music video last night for "5 O'Clock" in which he says, "she'll be waitin' for me naked with one of my chains on." OK THEN! Check out our gallery of T-Pain's Most Ridiculous Chains.  

When: January 2011

Where: "Welcome to My Hood" Video Shoot

Complex Says: We've said all that we can about this particular chain already.

When: June 2010

Where: Hot 97 Summer Jam

Complex Says: He has the liquor bottle chains department covered, so obviously he needs mixers to go with it. And Kool-Aid goes with everything, right? Oh yeah!

When: June 2008

Where: Hot 97 Summer Jam

Complex Says: Yes, a chain of a cartoon character is weird, but this one is awesome. Still ridiculous though! We're jealous of T-Pain's special relationship with Cartoon Network, so more power to him.

When: Unknown

Where: Unknown

Complex Says: Before signing on with Young Money, T-Pain was signed with Akon’s Konvict Music. The only record label chain we co-sign is the Dipset chain.

When: November 2008

Where: American Music Awards

Complex Says: What makes this chain ridiculous? Because the sales from the entire Nappy Boy’s roster of artists went to buying this chain.

When: June 2009

Where: CMT Music Awards

Complex Says: With access to all these diamonds, you choose to make this?! Tell us it's cubic zirconia and maybe we'll live.

When: June 2011

Where: Power 106 Powerhouse 2011

Complex Says: When you like the bartender, then you have to like all her horrible drinks, too. We at least hope this 4Loko chain came with free refills for life.

When: Unknown

Where: Unknown

Complex Says: After signing on with YMCMB, T-Pain got this custom piece made. Can't rep Young Money if you don't like that purple stuff! Though that facemask would qualify him for the YM requirement to place in their Style Fails department.

When: January 2010

Where: "We Are The World 25 for Haiti"

Complex Says: Some things to point out here: this is a chain of HIS OWN FACE. Also, IT HAS DREADS. What is more horrifying—a tarantula, or T-Pain?
