T-pain to release Christian pop album in September?

Mark this as the best April Fool's prank of 2010. In a recent interview with MySpace Music, T-Pain announced that he would finally retire his long-standing relationship with Auto-Tune and take his career in a different direction, releasing a Christian pop album this Fall.

Although his recent singles 'Reverse Cowgirl' and 'Take Your Shirt Off' would suggest otherwise, Pain insisted that he was very much in touch with his spirituality. "A lot of people don't know this about me, but I am a deeply spiritual person," he said. "Dude, I go to church just as much as I go to the strip club. That's saying something." T-Pain didn't stop the none-sense there.

"I know this album might surprise people, but I am a sensitive guy." Pain continued. "I don't sit just around and watch 'Scarface' and drink Henny all day. In fact, I just got through watching 'The Notebook.' You ever seen that movie? That s--- is beautiful."

Alright, we're calling your bluff T-Pain. We believed you when you said you "f----ed a mermaid" but a September release for 'Even Heaven Got a VIP,' that's where we draw the line. In the meantime, look out for Pain's legit 'Thr33 Ringz' follow-up, titled 'RevolveR,' out later this year.

I first heard this rumor on the radio but they did not say if it was a April fool's joke.
