T-Pain has revealed that Lily Allen planned to star in his new music video before she became pregnant.
The rapper has sampled Allen’s track ‘Who’d Have Known’ for his new single ’5 O’Clock’, which also features Wiz Khalifa.
Talking to Digital Spy, T-Pain admitted that Allen “loved” how he had used the song and that there were plans for her to be in the accompanying music video.
“Lily was going to be in the video, but she’s a little bloated right now,” he joked. “She said she didn’t really want to be in the public eye being so super-mommy fat!”
The producer explained that the Lily Allen lookalike in the video was planned and added: “Lily picked that girl. That was her decision and that’s why we put her in there.”
’5 O’Clock’ is available to download now in the US and will be officially released in the UK on December 4.
It will serve as the trailer single for T-Pain’s upcoming album Revolver, which is currently slated for a December 6 release.

Earlier today Lily tweeted these pictures to show us the pumpkin she made last night for Halloween!

“Me, bump and pumpkin, i did it last night during x-factor.”

“Close up. ok so i did use a stencil, but still pretty cool, no”?

Lily has made her way onto NME’s list of the best 150 tracks released in the last 15 years. Lily charted at number 104 with her first single Smile. Here is what NME had to say:

Released: July 2006
It’s all in the way she tells it. No-one else could simultaneously sound as world-weary and mischievous as Lily Allen delivering that line about her emotionally-retarded ex “fucking the girl next door…what d’you do that for?”. In those ten-and-a-half words alone an exasperated modern female icon was born, bloomed and was shortly after hounded into an early retirement. Lily always said she’d made the ‘Alright, Still’ album for a laugh and that we were lucky even to get a follow-up, but that doesn’t stop ‘Smile’ being one of those perfect storms in pop music when a song, an attitude and an unlikely star (in this case Harry Enfield’s gobby step-daughter) collide to create what is commonly known as a bit of a moment.

They also provided a short paragraph of Lily explaining how she wrote number 1 hit Smile.

How I Wrote ‘Smile’
Lily Allen
It was the first song I wrote. I always thought you should write about what you know and this guy had taken up so much of my time and emotions that the words just poured out. It was never going to be a sugar-sweet love song because by that time I was over him and felt a slight desire to get revenge through a song. So the lyrics are definitely bittersweet.
Then the record got to Number One and everyone asks if I feel it is a revenge story. I guess it is – but the truth is it’s too painful for me to think of it in that way. It’s a period of my life that I would rather not go back to.
