DJ Akademiks had T Pain on his livestream a few months back

During the chat, they were discussing strategies larger men can use to get hot chicks.

In doing so, Ak revealed that Tinashe curved him back in the day -- to the detriment of her career.

"This all I got to say to her.  If she had f*cked with a real n*gga her career would be up,"  Ak said of Tinashe.  "Tinashe went on to f*ck with Ben Simmons.  That n*gga not shooting layups.  He's not playing for the Nets and her career is on the shelf.  If she would have f*cked with Big Ak, she would have been on the charts where she belongs."
