Musician T Pain has apologised to all the celebrities who tried to reach out to him via Instagram but did not receive any response.

Taking to Instagram, the 'Buy You A Drink' hitmaker stated that he did not realise he was getting the messages.

He explained that he only just discovered the messages adding that he was "today years old" when he learned that Instagram has a separate space for message requests.

T-Pain wrote, "I'm just now seeing all these messages and mentions TODAY!!!! How do I super apologize? Press conference? Town hall meeting? I'm dumb."

The rapper posted a video on his Instagram page showing the plethora of DMs from verified accounts he's been ignoring for years.

Among the star studded list was Ghanaian rapper Medikal who had wanted to reach put to TPain when in the US.

Also in the list was RuffTown Records signee Wendy Shay.

"I thought DMs are supposed to just show in the normal folder and you don't have to go digging for these," TPain wrote.

"I apologize to everybody on this list and the hundreds of others I couldn't fit in this video. These are just the ones I haven't checked or replied to."
