T-Pain collaborates with Checkers, Rally's to bring named value meal deal, sweepstakes

'Can't believe it?' Well, it's true. T-Pain not only has his own lane, but now a value meal at Checkers and Rally's.

The Tallahassee-grown singer-songwriter, whose real name is Faheem Rashad Najm, has collaborated with the fast-food restaurant to produce his own barbecue-inspired value meal combo, the "T-Pain For Real Meal" and burger entrée.

“I'm a big fan of Checkers and Rally's. It's one of my go-to spots, so this partnership and collaboration just made a lot of sense for me and something that I’m genuinely excited about," the Grammy Award winner said in a release sent to the Tallahassee Democrat. "The fact that I get to have my own meal there is crazy! You are not going to want to miss out on the BBQ inspired T-Pain For Real Meal."

From now till Nov. 17, guests can purchase the $5 combo meal and entree sandwich at several Tallahassee locations: 1377 Apalachee Parkway, 3111 Mahan Drive and 802 Lake Bradford Road.

The meal deal includes guests' choice of the "Checkerburger/Rallyburger" or its new "BBQ Spicy Chicken" sandwich topped with American cheese, "Sweet N’ Smoky" barbecue sauce and pickles. The guest's selected entree is paired with a small fry, 16-ounce soft drink and an eight count of its new barbecue chicken bites dusted with barbecue seasoning.

Outside of the $5 value meal combo, the "T-Pain Cheesy Bacon BBQ Buford" sandwich stacked with two large beef patties, Swiss and American cheese, crispy onions, three strips of bacon and "Sweet N’ Smoky" barbecue sauce is available as an entree and combo meal. The combo is paired with a small, seasoned fry and soft drink starting at $8.49.

“T-Pain’s skills as a professional drift driver and his love for cars make this a no-brainer given the car culture heritage of our brands," Scott Johnson, chief marketing officer for Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, said in a release. "This collaboration will resonate with all who are fans of T-Pain, his music and drifting, but it also provides them with a delicious meal at an unbeatable price.”

Aside from the meal and excitement surrounding the renaming of a section of Pasco Street in Tallahassee to "T-Pain Lane," there is more to celebrate with a sweepstake for those who couldn't snag a ticket to T-Pain's sold-out show on Nov. 10 at the Adderley Amphitheater in Cascades Park.

Participants have a chance to win a trip to Nashville next year to see the performer live in concert at The Pinnacle, the city's new music venue.

The prize package includes two concert tickets, round-trip airfare and a one-night hotel stay.
