In his “Posted on the Corner” interview, Wayne broke down his journey from small-town Georgia to becoming a comedy giant, all while keeping it real for his fans and his city.
Wayne’s latest move? Filming his new comedy special in Atlanta, the place he credits for his success. He calls it “home,” reflecting on how the city has always embraced him and made his Drip and his personas household names.

Seeing his Netflix special reach number one, proof positive of his power to resonate with millions by simply being himself.
