As well as being a gamer, T-Pain also seems to enjoy a spot of cosplay and given the quality of his attire, he does a pretty damn good job of it. Yesterday on hisInstagram, the musician premiered his Leroy Smith cosplay to a host of supportive comments. As previously stated, Leroy hasn’t been announced yet so this could very well be the only cosplay around at the moment and what an amazing job T-pain does at embodying the soon to beTekken 7character.
How much y’all payin for this emote? #LeroySmith @tekken #dragoncon
