"Jerry Sprunger" is a song by Canadian rapper Tory Lanez and American singer T-Pain. It was released on November 8, 2019 as the lead single from the former's fourth studio album, Chixtape 5. The song samples T-Pain's hit single "I'm Sprung" (2005), and its title is a reference to British-American television personality Jerry Springer.[1]

Background

Tory Lanez teased the song in early December 2018, when he posted a video of T-Pain's first reaction to the track on Twitter. It was released on November 8, 2019 as the single from his album Chixtape 5, which was released a week later.

Music video

The official music video was released on November 8, 2019. It features Tory Lanez taking a walk down memory lane in the nostalgic clip featuring T-Pain. In keeping with the theme, Lanez rocks throwback looks from the early 2000s including do-rags, bandanas, oversized T-shirts, and jerseys while hosting a barbecue on the front lawn of his house with bikini-clad guests.[2]
