Activision Blizzard is set to releaseCall of Duty: Vanguardvery soon and it recently held a big premiere event for the game. Popular rapper and Twitch streamer T-Pain joined 100 Thieves co-owner CouRageJD as co-host of the event and his speeches included one particularly bizarre one.
During theCall of Duty: Vanguardpremiere event, T-Pain took center stage to unveil the newCall of Duty: WarzoneCaldera map. Before unveiling the map, T-Pain talked about Caldera being his only island vacation this year other than the Dominican Republic. This is when T-Pain seemingly broke character and brought up legalized prostitution in the Dominican Republic.

As T-Pain went off-topic, the audience at theCall of Duty: Vanguardpre-launchevent started to chatter amongst themselves which T-Pain took notice of. As the audience talked, T-Pain implored them to fall silent by saying, “ladies and gentlemen… hold on, hold on. You’re all talking too much. No, can’t do it, you’re all talking too much.” As the crowd failed to follow T-Pain’s instructions, the rapper shushed the audience several times before revealing the newCall of Duty: Warzonemap.
T-Pain stated that he wanted his map reveal to be good, suggesting that he wanted to do the updated map justice despite his previously off-the-rails speech. He went on to reveal the Caldera map in a dramatic master of ceremony style reminiscent of a pre-game announcer at a sporting event. Although images of theCall of Duty: WarzoneCaldera maphad already been revealed prior to theCall of Duty: Vanguardevent, the footage went on to giveWarzonefans more of an idea of the map that they’ll be exploring soon.
During theCall of Duty: Vanguardpremiere, the audience was seemingly confused as T-Pain went off-topic, with some of them presumably discussing the rapper’s previous statement. T-Pain is known primarily for being a rapper, but also as a Twitch streamer and master of ceremonies, but he may have failed to read the room with his statement about prostitution. T-Pain may have realized this after it slipped from his mouth, regaining composure as he tried to regain control of the reveal.
It’s currently unclear if T-Pain was joking or being serious about an upcoming Dominican Republic vacation, but this segment of his speech was likely influenced by the tropical aesthetic of Caldera. Whether in jest or seriousness, T-Pain putting it on equal ground as a tropical vacation is high praise for the new map. BecauseT-Pain is a Twitch streamerin his free time, it’s likely thatCall of Duty: Warzonefans will be able to catch his thoughts on Caldera in a future stream.
Call of Duty: Vanguardreleases on November 5 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
