T-Pain Says Quincy Jones Apologized for Criticizing His "P.Y.T (Pretty Young Thing)" Remake

It's all good between the R&B singer and the legendary producer.

In 2010, T-Pain and Robin Thicke released a version of Michael Jackson's "P.Y.T (Pretty Young Thing)" for Quincy Jones albumQ: Soul Bossa Nostra. Several years later, in an interview with New York Magazine, Quincy criticized the remake:

T-Pain responded on Twitter expressing his own unsatisfaction with the finished product. He claimed that he never wanted to record the song, it was a decision made by his then-manager.

On Sunday (Oct 21st) T-Pain once again addressed Jone's comments on Watch What Happens Live with host Andy Cohen. He explained that hours after the interview was released, the producer called him to apologize.

I never lost any respect for him, I just didn't know why he went like that with it.
