T-Pain turned the tables on Armani White during their joint tour by surprising him with a cake featuring his mugshot, just weeks after White’s arrest in Kentucky for filming a music video on a highway.
The prank unfolded over the weekend, when White continued his lighthearted tradition of presenting T-Pain with a birthday cake every night of the TP20: Celebrating 20 Years of T-Pain tour—even though it’s not T-Pain’s birthday.
But this time, after White delivered his usual cake on night 14, T-Pain fired back with a twist: a cake topped with White’s now-viral mugshot.
White burst into laughter as T-Pain delivered the punchline: “We’ve all had things happen to us that we are never going to forget, but guess what? Bet you won’t do that s### again.”
The cake gag was a playful response to White’s arrest earlier this month in Laurel County, Kentucky.
On October 12, White was taken into custody after filming a video on Interstate 75, where he and his crew danced on the highway median, causing traffic issues. He was charged with second-degree disorderly conduct and illegally stopping on a limited-access road.
Bodycam footage captured the moment officers confronted White, who explained he was filming content. His mugshot, where he’s seen smiling, quickly made the rounds online.
White later addressed the photo during a show in Birmingham, Alabama, saying, “I smiled in that mugshot because I refuse to let anyone paint me as a criminal. Or tell a story about me thru images that falsify who I am and the legacy I’m leaving behind for kids looking up to me.”
Armani White Continues Cake Tradition Hours After Viral Arrest
Despite the legal hiccup, White rejoined the tour the same day after being released from the Laurel County Detention Center.
The mugshot moment didn’t stop the cake tradition—even on the day of his arrest, White managed to keep it going. In a video from that night, he told T-Pain, “Unfortunately, I was in jail so I didn’t have time to make the cake how we usually do.”
T-Pain responded, “I was one hundred percent sure you wasn’t going to have one today.”
White joked back, “Please, no more break days. We obviously don’t know what to do with the time off.”
