Rapper and long-time Game of Thrones fan T-Pain has poked fun at Gendry after Arya’s epic performance in “The Long Night” episode.
As fellow fans who watched the episode will know, Arya turned out to be the surprise hero of the third episode of season eight, after storming the Godswood just as the Night King was about to kill Bran, and stabbing the White Walker in the stomach.

T-Pain posted his thoughts on Twitter after the episode aired on Sunday 28 April, where he demanded that “someone get this woman some premium d*ck” to reward her for her efforts.
This prompted actor Joe Dempsie, who stars as Gendry on the show, to respond – apparently slightly hurt that T-Pain didn’t think too much of his character.
What followed was a highly entertaining back and forth between the two that ended on amicable terms.
Game of Thrones season 8 continues next Sunday on HBO in the US and Sky Atlantic or NowTV in the UK.
