Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Kountry Wayne’s Upbringing & Street Hustle

• Origin: From Millen, Georgia, a tiny town (“one, two red lights” [02:26]), Wayne describes his early years hustling with his father, selling drugs, and transitioning “legit” once he caught a viral break ([07:16]).
• Turning Point: He tells the story of narrowly dodging a federal bust by the FBI the day after he left the street life, cementing his resolve to never look back ([07:27–08:45]).

“The day I quit, the next day, the feds came to the house. [...] At least I’m legit now. I’m famous online. I have some T-shirts or something. I pulled a yay on. You feel what I'm saying?”
— Kountry Wayne ([07:27–08:23])

2. Internet Comedy – From Skits to Soap Operas

• Format Innovation: Wayne transitioned from quick skits to full-blown serialized soap operas online, prioritizing drama and real-life storylines that outlast pure comedy clips ([03:31–04:29]).
• Operation: Grew from dropping a handful to “40 skits a day” across Facebook and YouTube, employing 14 producers, and treating the skit game like a street operation for hustle and reach ([04:29], [45:41], [46:00]).
• Audience: His core fans are “the aunties”—loyal, engaged, often from Facebook, not chasing what’s fashionable but what’s real ([05:34–05:39]).
• Ownership: Puts his own money into independent films to maintain creative control and signal to other comedians the importance of direct ownership ([16:39–18:04]).

“Put my own money up. And it’s high quality, for real. The quality is gonna shock everybody. And it was real grounded comedy.”
— Kountry Wayne ([16:40–16:43])

3. Stand-Up Respect and Social Media’s Place

• Double Threat: Achieved what few have—success in both social media AND stand-up, earning Netflix and Amazon specials.
• Prestige: Explains why so few social media comedians do hour-long specials: you must retire all that material afterwards, which takes serious creative risk ([27:11–27:40]).
• Influences: Credits Eddie Murphy, Kings of Comedy, Kevin Hart, Katt Williams, Mike Epps, Chappelle, and Chris Rock. Understands the difference between “pep rally comedy” and subject-driven, lasting stand-up ([21:25–14:56]).
• Quote:

“To do stand up, you can’t just be funny. You gotta have something to talk about.”
— Kountry Wayne ([14:56])

4. Parenting & Big Family Energy

• Father to Ten: Has ten children, mostly before fame, and reflects on the unique small-town dynamic where being “the guy” meant attention—and children ([09:54–12:27]).
• Managing Family: Big, blended family is central to his material and daily life.
• No More Kids!:

"Nah, I just ain’t, man, I ain’t trying to have no more kids. [...] Once you got a kid, man, things do change."
— Kountry Wayne ([12:36–12:44])

• Naming Them All: A funny moment as Wayne lists all ten kids, drawing jokes and awe ([12:51–13:10]).

5. Building Wealth & Authenticity

• Real Fans, Lasting Power: The internet is just an amplifier for your real-life energy.
• Platform Ownership: Facebook is his main money-maker, millions of followers and viral reach, but also the frequent shifts in payouts and algorithmic uncertainty ([33:13–34:33]).
• Work Ethic: 40 skits a day, multiple producers—outworking everyone as a deliberate strategy to “stay up” ([45:45–46:03]).

“The farther you gonna go, bro, a comment. [...] All of us special people like us who come from the streets, right? We can’t go to jail in this. So whatever they talking about.”
— Kountry Wayne ([46:26])

6. Dealing with Haters and Comedy Politics

• Comedians vs. Rappers: Wayne argues comedians are more sensitive—since comedy is about being liked, and the game is often cliquish and competitive ([62:17–63:47]).
• Being Labeled Arrogant: Confidence comes across as arrogance, but it’s driven by street-hardened self-belief and non-stop work ([48:44], [50:36]).
• Memorable Quote:

“If I’m working harder than them, no, they arrogant to think they gonna get the same results as me. That’s arrogance. That work less than somebody.”
— Kountry Wayne ([49:26])

7. Relationships & “Stay Up” Philosophy

• Advice: “Stay up” in relationships and business—the same way you keep your edge in hustling is how you keep your partner’s respect and their affection ([40:32–43:26]).
• Notable Quote:

“Ain’t no woman gon’ ever love you like you think she love you. Because it’s too much out here to love.”
— Kountry Wayne ([40:47])

• Relatability: His material is successful because it’s rooted in real relationships—baby mamas, kids, blended families, everyday men-and-women drama ([36:00]).

8. Content, Hustle & The New Media Game

• Nonstop Output: Describes the importance of relentless content production to keep pace with “attention” in today’s world ([67:16–68:50]).
• Delegation: Shares how building his actors and producers up allowed him to keep innovating without burning out ([68:55–70:37]).
• Platform Control: Reinforces the tension between creative hustle and the money made by platform owners—urges more artists to own and aggregate their crowds ([85:11–87:19]).

9. Music, Rivalries, and Cultural Commentary

• Drake vs. Kendrick: Wayne weighs in on their battle as good for hip-hop so long as it stays lyrical, not violent ([82:41–83:09], [83:11–83:16]).
• Longing for Unity: Suggests the real win would be seeing A-listers like Drake/Kendrick, or Cardi B/Nicki Minaj, unite, control their economics, and give back to their original communities instead of enriching platforms and labels ([86:51–89:03]).

[Interviewer Brian]

Yo, Country Y. I never knew. How does it feel to be in New York? Cause I know you come from a city with the capacity 3,000 people.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah. Yeah. When I come to New York, though, it feel like. It kind of feel like a home away from home, though. Cause I always got along with up north people. Like when New York used to come to the high school and all that, you know, move from New York, come to the school. So it was just like, you know, it just feel like you coming to visit your cousins that used to stay down south. That's what you say.

[Interviewer Brian]

Whoa. Cause what's the name of your town?

[Country Wayne]

Millen, Georgia.

[Interviewer Brian]

Millen Georgia. Shout out to Millen, Georgia.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah. One red light with two red lights.

[Interviewer Brian]

That's crazy. Two red lights.

[Country Wayne]

Yup.

[Interviewer Brian]

That's crazy. So you made it a long way, bro. I was watching one of your interviews, and you was talking about you just was in the projects in 2012, man.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah.

[Interviewer Brian]

Talk about your journey to being on a big stage now. Nostalgia, crazy. Atlanta was. Went crazy for you. I don't know the capacity of the crowd, but the crowd was packed in there.

[Country Wayne]

We did, like, two shows. Two shows. Like, 2, 000 people a piece, right? That's a 4000. Yeah, man. It feel good, man. Just coming from the. You know, just coming from where we come from, it's the same story y' all got. Just coming from the hood. And up here, when you hit these levels, it kind of still don't feel real. Cause you feel like it could be taken from you. It is like, man, this still don't feel real. Still feel like a dream.

[Interviewer Brian]

Feel you. How you come up with this soap opera shit on YouTube, bro? Like, what? How do you find the people? Cause, you know, I'm like, are they actors? Like, what's the process of that? Cause I see your numbers on YouTube, and I see what you do, and I see, like, everybody loves that, and I love it, too. I started watching a lot of them clip after clip after clip. What made you think of that?

[Country Wayne]

Man, it was really on one day. I used to be funny on social media. So, you know, I started off with the funny video, but then I was like, man, if I keep being funny, I'm gonna have to stay in front of the camera. You know what I'm saying? So I was like. So I was googling one night all the comedy movies, and comedy don't make that much. Like, people think the drama and soap operas lasted longer. So I was like, man, let me go ahead and switch it. I switched it up one day, and I started telling the storylines of heartbreaks and how women feel and how men feel. And that when I was able to move out of the spotlight and get behind the camera, and I was like, shoot. Okay, now I could maneuver around and get back to hustling while this still going on. And that's when I started. Hey. Reaching out to more actors. Hey, man, put this. I need this character for this. I need this character for this. Go get this. Okay, you start producing your storyline. I'm gonna get you. Then you go start producing yours. And I went from dropping, like, three skits a day, now dropping like, 40 skits a day. On Facebook and YouTube.

[Interviewer Brian]

Yeah, definitely. I see them on you. Yeah, I be seeing them back to back. Crazy. I remember I watched one episode when dude's moms found the 40,000.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah, yeah.

[Interviewer Brian]

His girl had 40,000 hitting the stuff.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah. See, I don't even know everybody who's on the page. That's shout out to Dalen. I think that's probably Dalen's storyline. I seen. I watched some of the stuff on the page that I don't even know. Like, some of the people on my page, I don't even know. I just know the producer. Then, you know, they set up, you know, just like the hood, you know, they set up, they trap. You get your work from where you get it from. You know what I'm saying Now you get them a trap, you set up your trap, you serve, you know, you pay your people. Everybody get a 10 out of nine, all that. And it just. I just kept going with it.

[Interviewer Brian]

And mind you, you got over half a million subscribers on YouTube.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Make some noise for you. Oh, that's fire. Okay, you know what?

[Interviewer Brian]

It's not easy. You know what I mean?

[Country Wayne]

No, no, no. Especially to have them engaged like that. Cause you know, I'm telling them stories every day, so, you know, I ain't really giving them the comedy no more. So they're a real engaged audience. And like we got 11 million on Facebook. Facebook, the main. Damn. The main channel. For real?

[Interviewer Brian]

Yeah. Cause your crowd is the aunties.

[Country Wayne]

You say, oh yeah, I got an auntie. Man, I ain't stuck. I ain't stuck in the other crowd.

[Interviewer Brian]

Talk about the Internet. Cause I heard you talk about the Internet versus real fans. Like, like you. Not really Internet savvy like you.

[Country Wayne]

Nah, the Internet, like the Internet, just. It's a pathway to go get your people that you would've got in real life anyway. Whoever was rocking with you in high school, whoever vibe you is when you hit the Internet, that's who really gonna rock with you anyway. Who gonna stick with you. So a lot of people got fans, but they gotta find a way to get people who really gonna stick with em. So when I meet people, like when I meet y', all, I already done met y'. All. I met y' all in my hometown somewhere. So you gonna run across the same people because you know who you was vibing with in high school when you

[Interviewer Darnell]

was in the streets.

[Country Wayne]

So the Internet, just a bigger version and you just connect with people, connected with anyway, your type of people all around the world. So I always looked at it as that and knew that I think people mess up trying to get everybody. And I ain't aiming at everybody. I'm like, man, I'm aiming at the people that I know. And I know who I'm talking to. I know somebody gonna feel me whether they're in New York or Mississippi.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Now, from doing skits, right? Like, from how you was doing it on the gram and all that, and then doing stand up. Cause I know you was comfortable on the phone camera, but it's different doing that shit in front of a bunch of people. Like, how did you make that transition? And was you comfortable doing that shit like that?

[Country Wayne]

Let me tell you something, man. Hey, when you sell a dope and you get a legit opportunity, man, I ain't care. It was like I was still in the streets.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Gotcha.

[Country Wayne]

So you know, my. You know, the residue was still on my fingernails.

[Interviewer Darnell]

So was that true what you said? And like, yo, your uncle and everybody got hot. Like, your fam got hot. And you were like, man, I'm outta here.

[Country Wayne]

Oh, yeah. The day I quit, me and my daddy was selling dope together.

[Interviewer Darnell]

That's funny.

[Country Wayne]

So me and my pops, you know, shout out to Pops. And the day I quit, you know what I'm saying? Cause me and him used to go half on the work. I say, pops, me and scribble.

[Interviewer Darnell]

I said, yeah, that nigga. Funniest shit.

[Country Wayne]

I say, man, the day I quit, I said, pops, I see on the other side. Cause I had got viral, but I wasn't getting shows like that got you. So me and my daddy, we kept hustling. I had some nightclubs. And I told Pops, I said, man, I'm legit now. I say, I got the clubs running. And I just. Comedy thing. The day I quit, the next day, the feds came to the house. And the fed, they knocked on the door. I was on the way to a show in Bronzeville, Georgia, and I heard a boom, boom, boom. I knew that knock. You know what I'm saying?

[Interviewer Brian]

You know that knock?

[Country Wayne]

And my brother, I said, who that is? He said, man, he went to. He said, hey, man, it's the FBI. I said, dog, I said, they don't got me. I said, but at least I'm legit now. I'm famous online. I have some T shirts or something. I pulled a yay on. You feel what I'm saying? Hey, I'm like. I'm like, at least I'm known now. Cause you know when you go to prison when you ain't known, you like, you gotta Come back. And I say, well, Country Wayne, when I come out, I'll be hot. I say, I'm probably gonna get a trafficking charge, do about five years, get 10, five years on parole. But when I got to the door, they was like, are you Dwayne Coley? I was like, yo, I like. I put my hand behind my back. They said, well, we looking for your daddy. Benson Coley said, thank you, Jesus. Yo. So I act like I ain't know where Daddy was at. But when they left, I called Daddy. I said, man, they just came here and he had some charges. But shout out to Pops. He be on the road with me now.

[Interviewer Darnell]

And that's what's up, bro.

[Country Wayne]

He be at my house every day. But, you know, my pops them og. You know what I'm saying? My pops are uncle them. They had it back in the 80s when everybody was going to Florida to get it. So I just was born into that lifestyle. So when it. Go get back to your question. To answer your question, when Stand up came, I ain't really had no fear. Cause I was more fearful of what I was doing.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Got it?

[Country Wayne]

So whatever this is. I remember one comedian, Barbara Carlisle, she told me, she was like. Cause she didn't know I was selling dope, though. And she was like, you need to go practice first. For you. You don't need to take. I said, what? I said, they offered me, okay first. I wasn't taking no money, but it got, you know. I said, well, I got to try it, you know. She was like, you should just stop. I'm like, man, you don't know what's going on. I'd rather bomb on stage before I get them blue lights behind me. So I think me coming from the streets, I appreciated it more, and I worked hard, and I was just willing to take on a challenge. And I knew I had more to talk about than most Internet comments. I'm like, well, shoot, I ain't. Ain't nobody else gonna beat me. Cause I got more to talk about.

[Interviewer Brian]

Definitely. I watch your material. How does it feel when you put your family in there? Cause that shit do be the crack. Cause how many kids you got?

[Country Wayne]

I got 10. God damn. Not like that. Not like that.

[Interviewer Brian]

You think it's a South thing, Man, y' all niggas be having mad kids like that, man. Yeah, I met Shorty Low when I met Shorty Lowe. I remember. Rest in peace, Shorty Lowe.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Rest in peace. Shorty, he What?

[Interviewer Brian]

He had 13.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah. Shorty low. My dog, too.

[Interviewer Brian]

Yeah, that's my dude.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah. Yeah. That my dog.

[Interviewer Brian]

Rest in peace, shorty. Low.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Definitely.

[Country Wayne]

What happens is, like, when you up north and you hot in the streets, it's a bunch of y'. All. It might be, like, 20 dudes in that area that's hot, that's popping, that's got some in the country. When you get you and you in the town, like a small town. It's only one Wayne. So I was talking to a girl, shout out. I used to talk to. I ain't talked to us in high school. And I finally got in touch with her, and she brought that up. She was like. Cause her brother was like, why you ain't never locking in with one? She say we was all on her. It was just one. So it's like in the country, if you hot in the streets, like, the world is yours.

[Interviewer Brian]

Oh, so that's like boosie, too?

[Country Wayne]

Like, boosie. Like, you get hot. It's only one of you versus uphill, man. Y' all got. Y' all got so many people. It's so big, bro. Like, New Yorker.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Yeah.

[Country Wayne]

Now.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Yeah.

[Country Wayne]

New York. I don't know. I don't think y' all realize how big it is. Cause y' all be in it, right? But it's like the money and everything, man, is here. It's like this one area, bro, you would be hot in the north, right? In New York. And you be like, oh, we ain't here. But they don't even need the South. Once they get the south, when we get hot, we kind of need everybody. You know what I'm saying?

[Interviewer Brian]

Definitely.

[Country Wayne]

But nah, it's just when you in that south, man, and you in them country towns, you messing around and get that all the coochie yours, whatever that

[Interviewer Brian]

shit, you be wondering, like, how nigga got 10 kids.

[Interviewer Darnell]

But how was it managing 10 kids, man?

[Country Wayne]

It's something, man. But end of the day, I had seven of them before I got famous.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Okay, okay.

[Country Wayne]

So, you know, we was already rocking. I was able to spend a lot of time, and, man, you know, we all just. I'm a country boy. So once the paper came, the legit paper, man, it became something I really wanted. I hate that I had to be like the way it happened, with different baby mamas or whatever. But I'm gonna be honest. It's the most beautiful thing. Like, of course, me and my sons, me and my daughters and big family. My. My sisters, my nieces, my nephews, they all be at my house. Everybody stay right around me. So it's. It's like, shoot, it's either that or keep buying Ferraris, you know what I'm saying? Ferraris. Ferraris. 700. You know what I'm saying? So. So it's like, you know, think you

[Interviewer Darnell]

gonna have more kids?

[Country Wayne]

Nobody. That boy ain't trying to have, I ain't trying to have.

[Interviewer Brian]

He's rich, but he's busy. He's too busy right now.

[Interviewer Darnell]

I'm just saying.

[Country Wayne]

Nah, I just ain't, man, I ain't trying to have no more kids.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Okay? Okay.

[Country Wayne]

Nah, nah, heck no. And I don't advise nobody to have none.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Oh, man. Damn.

[Country Wayne]

Once you got a kid, man, things do change.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Things change.

[Interviewer Brian]

How do you remember all the names though? Name all your kids names.

[Country Wayne]

Tony Tamar and Leo Cristiano.

[Interviewer Brian]

Hold on, slow down. You're going fast. Name all of them.

[Country Wayne]

Tony Tamar, Aleyah, Christiana Taylor, Malia Zaria, Melissa. Honest and Kiyomi.

[Interviewer Brian]

Sound like a whole bunch of girls.

[Interviewer Darnell]

He wasn't lying about Honest and Christian. Okay.

[Country Wayne]

Oh, no, no, no.

[Interviewer Darnell]

I thought you was just joking. He mentioned them in the show. That's why.

[Country Wayne]

Okay, okay. Yeah.

[Interviewer Brian]

So what's next? I know you did Netflix something with Netflix.

[Country Wayne]

I did Netflix.

[Interviewer Brian]

Talk about that.

[Country Wayne]

2023. I did Netflix. 2023, that special drop. And you know, it kind of got me this special, you know. Cause being from social media, dropping a special was big. Cause ain't none of us never dropped no special. Cause you know, it's out there. Social media people can't do standup. So I took on that challenge and was like, I'm here, so it's whatever. And that opened the doors for me to do this one and to be in that game with a standup game, with getting special opportunities.

[Interviewer Darnell]

But you made me a believer with this one because I didn't think the social media guys could live in that world too. You know, social media is one thing, but then you try to take it there and really, I think so. I think social media, I was surprised then when I put my people together like, yo, nah, I've been fucking with son, son. Got it. But I was surprised. I'm not gonna even lie.

[Country Wayne]

Like, nah, nah, I appreciate that.

[Interviewer Brian]

But what I'm saying, I think social media bettered the game. Like when you look at Wayne, Drew, Ski, Desi, like everybody know who they are. Cause they're kind of like social media too. Instead of just going to do that

[Interviewer Darnell]

stand up comedy is different.

[Interviewer Brian]

Oh, no, that's different.

[Country Wayne]

That's.

[Interviewer Darnell]

That nothing different.

[Country Wayne]

A lot of social media comedians probably ain't gonna never. They ain't gonna never do no special. Because to be honest, I just feel like I had a. But it's some funny comedians out there, man. You know what I'm saying? It's just a lot of people, it take time and energy and I had an edge because I got the subject matter, I had got all the kids and I lived the life.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Definitely, definitely.

[Country Wayne]

You know what I'm saying? So it's like to do stand up, you can't just be funny. You gotta have something to talk about. And I learned that through Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock then. Cause when I heard Chris Rock was like, it don't supposed to be a pep rally, I was like, I'm thinking Def Jam was you supposed to do that all night to the audience? But when I understood what Chris Rock doing, Dave Chappelle talking about, oh, to grow and to get an audience, you know, the other audience that really got the money. Now if you want the audience who ain't really got that paper fly by night, you do that all night. But to have that audience that grow with you, you gotta have a subject matter and you gotta have them to talk, but still bring the joke, bring the joke around. They wanna see it creatively done. I'm like, oh, okay. So I understood why Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle don't got to where they at. But nah, that's stand up a different game. But social media comedians opened up the way for another way for comedians to get money. Of course, you know, without television, everybody was really, back in the day was waiting to get on TV to get some paper. So it did do that. But at the same time you gotta respect stand up comedians because that's a different ball game. And I just was able to, I was able to do both. So you know, it keep me in a good position. Cause I don't depend on this and I wanna pin on that. So it kept me in a position where I'm gonna go get it either way.

[Interviewer Brian]

Well, what you doing on YouTube? Do you think about making like a movie? Cause I see your vision as like a 50.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah.

[Interviewer Brian]

You know what I'm saying? Like you got clips, 20,000, 50,000 different clips through the day on your YouTube and everybody's eating this shit up and it's relationship based. So I feel like I'm watching.

[Country Wayne]

I did a movie, it ain't dropped yet, but I did an independent movie with me, Coco Jones, Loretta Devine and a lot more others. I did a movie called that's her.

[Interviewer Brian]

Oh, okay. You know what?

[Country Wayne]

I'm Saying, so I put my own money up. And it's high quality. And it's high quality, for real. The quality is gonna shock everybody. And it was real grounded comedy. I did like the Harry Met Sally, you know, I ain't do the, like. It ain't like the comedy that people gonna expect from me. It's real grounded, laid back, smooth. But, yo, that's what I'm. That's what I'm doing, you know, put my own money up. Cause that's where we come from, so. And that's the only way you keep your freedom. So shout out to everybody, like you say, 50 Jay Z, all the hustlers who put their cause that's the only way in this game. For real. Cause even though I make money on Facebook and YouTube, they could take that stuff when they feel like it. They go up and down on the CPMs, and I'm like, bro, I already know. I put, like on Facebook, I get over a billion views. You know what I'm saying? One month, it might be this amount of money. Next month is that amount of money. So y' all playing with the game. It's just like playing with a dope in the streets. You know, the plug go gambling too much, all of a sudden, it ain't coming back the same. Whatever you done did now, all of a sudden, it stepped on, it ain't come back the same. But the plug. The plug gonna make sure. Yeah, it ain't. So, you know, you got to put up your own money and start your own platforms in this game. And that's my next step, is to get my own platform and network. Because they play games out here.

[Interviewer Brian]

Man, we ready. We ready for you, man. Cause I remember you saying you never been in a major film. I don't see why. You funnier than a lot of niggas.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah, but what it was with me, though, you know, I'm not out there like everybody. I got my own audience, and I don't really play the Hollywood game the same. And when you don't play that game, people can feel it before they meet you, right? So people don't really reach out to you the same if you ain't got that warming. But I am like, I'm in New York, you know what I'm saying? All of a sudden, you know what I'm saying? I'm on y' all podcast. You feel what I'm saying, Right? Because you gonna run across them real ones, the real podcast, you know what I'm saying? You gonna run across them. We're real ones. And if you don't play that Hollywood game for real, where you, like, all friendly and the game ain't gonna mess with you. But. And I appreciate them not doing that because it allowed me to get in the space I am. Cause they right. I ain't gonna do certain stuff. I don't care if it's a billion dollars on the table, man, at certain. It's like, at some point, the integrity gonna kick in. Like, bro, I ain't knowing that. It ain't about the money. And people who really like that in the game, it really don't get approached the same anyway. So a lot of opportunities I had to go create on my own. Cause they ain't really gonna come to you unless you gonna treat them a certain type of way. Like, if you bring me an opportunity, hey, I'm finna put my work in you. I appreciate it, though. But I ain't finna do nothing extra and be like. Make you feel like this and that. And in the room, I'm like, bro, I ain't got the energy. I ain't no good. I ain't good at that part of the game, right?

[Interviewer Brian]

Kissing ass, brown ass.

[Country Wayne]

Nah, nah, nah. I won't put nobody in a position to do me like that. Cause God don't even make us bow down to him. He don't tell us to bow down like that. That's a choice to bow down. So, like, man, in the day, we all putting our gifts and talents and minds together. Let's just get it.

[Interviewer Brian]

It's different for you. You so dope with your family, your pop, so the family down there, street. It's not only street. Nigga ran an operation together.

[Interviewer Darnell]

I like how you said when they say, yo, man, yo, just be low, man. Be careful. You said, I ain't got to be low. Y' all niggas just don't tell on me, man.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah, I don't got to get low.

[Interviewer Brian]

[Country Wayne]

My top five comedians all time.

[Interviewer Brian]

Yeah.

[Country Wayne]

Well, you got Eddie Murphy. I'm gonna put the kings of comedy in one batch because what they did was special together.

[Interviewer Brian]

Right?

[Country Wayne]

You got. Man, I gotta throw Kevin Hart enough because he was funny. You know what I mean? He's still funny to this day.

[Interviewer Darnell]

This is his time. Like, this is his time period.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah. And then he had it for a long time. So facts. When people do that, bro, you can't really omit that. And Cat Williams for sure. And then I'm gonna go. And then I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go to Mike Ellis. Now that I'm in the game and understood and learned different, shout out to Mike Epps. I went to, like, Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock. I understood now. Oh, I went to one of Dave Chappelle's shows, and I remember comedian was like, man, he ain't really made me laugh. I say, he ain't make nobody laugh like that all night, but he the best comedian I ever seen. Cause now that I'm a comedian, I understood why Dave Chappelle a monster. I was like, ooh. So it's different. Like, I got a different mindset. But all them legends that I just named was the ones that, when I was in the streets, I was watching that got me to a certain point. But now that I'm here, I watch another. I watch everybody. I watch Dave Chappelle, I watch Chris Rock, I watch Bill Burr. You know what I'm saying? I'm watching Nate Prigatsky right now. It's like, oh, you have more respect for the game. And I think Comedy will comedy mess up at. I always say, no game will be bigger than the NBA. Because one thing about NBA players, even if they don't like each other, they keep it real about each other. Nah, that your kahoot?

[Interviewer Brian]

Yeah.

[Country Wayne]

Goddard in the comedy game, it's like, whoever you cool with. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, sometimes you just gotta keep it g. Like, nah, that person. But all the comedians funny, man. I'm the only comedian that be like, man, every comedian funny is they timing. But everybody can't go on stage. Subject matter. So it's like, if I'm talking about. If I'm. I'm talking about the streets, y' all gonna be like, man, why ain't funny? But it's gonna be. Somebody over there gonna be like, man, that Jones man, ain't funny. Yeah. Cause you can't relate, right? Right. And a lot of other stuff, man, I can't relate to. So it be like. But I still see the timing in it. It's like, surgeon matters. I'm like, bro, that ain't what I. What you talking about? Politics? I don't get it. Cause I'm like, bro, when you from the streets, we got so much trying to figure out at home, man, I don't know who the fuck, man. I don't know who the president. I don't know who the man. I don't even know who the vice president is right now, man. Sometimes I be like, man, if I had to. If I had to put my life on it online.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Yeah, I don't.

[Country Wayne]

I don't know who the vice president is, because. But to somebody else, when you go talking about politics, they be hitting, and I'm like, but that ain't my cup of tea. But then if I talk about women and kids and being a player and keeping it G, they say, oh, I

[Interviewer Darnell]

got all that shit for you.

[Country Wayne]

Like, yeah, I'm that guy.

[Interviewer Darnell]

I can write a book.

[Country Wayne]

So a lot of comedians. A lot of comedians think I ain't funny. But a lot of comedians just ain't grow up the way I grew up. The average comedian ain't grow up the way I grew up anyway. So I'm like, I know my audience, bro. I know my audience.

[Interviewer Brian]

Definitely.

[Country Wayne]

I can tell you. I could tell y' all and y' all family up, okay, I can make. I can make y' all laugh.

[Interviewer Brian]

Oh, nah, of course I watch nostalgia. Crazy, that shit.

[Country Wayne]

When it comes to comedy, man, it's all about that subject matter. And everybody gotta choose they subject. And don't worry about who don't think you funny, you know? And that's why Tyler Perry got the way he was at. Cause he, like, whoever ain't think this was good, I know who in the south, we connected to that, right? We got big mama there. We got. Get off that goddamn point and sit over and knock across your head. So it's like for everybody, like, man, that jump, it's like New York person be like, oh, up north. And the person down south might not feel that, or person down south, because the subject matters, where you from or who you know. And then you relate to certain shit more. You relate to certain stuff more. And then it just be like, oh, okay. You still see the timing and respect the timing, but. But that stage is a different beast. I'm glad it's hard, though, because it's one thing about a comedian. Once you become a comedian and you can go on stage, you can go get it forever.

[Interviewer Brian]

Damn.

[Country Wayne]

Everybody ain't coming to this stage.

[Interviewer Brian]

You think it feels like. Cause you know, when we do a show, like, say we do a show with 50, and it's a crowd out there, you know, you get a little nervous, like, oh, shit.

[Country Wayne]

You know what I'm saying?

[Interviewer Brian]

This shit's crazy out here. Crowd, make sure you don't fall. You know, use the bathroom. Cause, you know, nigga, before we do a show, I gotta take a shit every time.

[Country Wayne]

You know what I'm saying?

[Interviewer Brian]

I gotta. Cause if you up there for two hours, like, what's the process? Cause what I. My process is, y' all gotta relax for a minute, stretch a little bit, make sure I take a shit, don't eat nothing crazy. You know what I mean?

[Interviewer Darnell]

Take a don't forget your man thing. My boy always says prayers before we hit this.

[Interviewer Brian]

Yeah, definitely serious with that. Serious. What is your thought process?

[Country Wayne]

Same thing, man. I don't eat nothing too heavy. And I pray. I pray before I go on that stage and. Cause it's different because with the music, you got that one thing about it. You got that beat with you music,

[Interviewer Darnell]

y' all get help. Y' all got help, nigga.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah, with music, man, it's hard, man. It's hard to bomb. Because it's like, you still got that beat. When you got that comedy, man, it ain't nobody but you. And when you do music, they want to hear your song that you saw last night.

[Interviewer Darnell]

They waiting for their shit to come on.

[Country Wayne]

Want somebody hear a joke, it's over. Like, when that special, that nostalgia special, I can't tell them jokes Nowhere, they not gonna laugh the same. You gonna laugh the first time. That's it.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Got you.

[Interviewer Brian]

Definitely. You got.

[Country Wayne]

So with comedy, it's a different ball game, different beast. You gotta stay creative. You gotta keep. Cause, like, if y' all go on tour, man, I wanna hear. I wanna hear the music, bro. I wanna hear.

[Interviewer Darnell]

But I heard comics remix jokes.

[Country Wayne]

They do.

[Interviewer Darnell]

They remix jokes.

[Interviewer Brian]

Don't take other niggas jokes.

[Interviewer Darnell]

No, no, no, no. They'll say the same jokes if you go to some shows. Like, they'll say the same jokes in multiple shows, but they might have more material. But they'll remix some of these same jokes that was hitting not when that

[Interviewer Brian]

shit on Netflix or something like that.

[Country Wayne]

The rule is, though. But that's why most comedians won't drop a special.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Of course.

[Country Wayne]

That's why.

[Interviewer Darnell]

You better believe it. Okay. That's a.

[Country Wayne]

Okay. Got you. That's why when you drop a special, you get pushed to another level before comedians know how hard it is. So it's like a prestige thing in the. It's like a secret in the comedy game. The reason why Kevin Harden, Cat Williams, and Mike Epstein, where they at. And nobody can't really, because social media people won't drop specials. Cause once you drop that special, you

[Interviewer Darnell]

gotta come with a whole new material.

[Country Wayne]

You gotta come with whole new material.

[Interviewer Brian]

Like nostalgia on Amazon Prime. Make sure y' all watch that. He can't use that again.

[Country Wayne]

That's when nostalgia drops. I had to go back on the road January, work on new material. So by the time people see me. Cause this week I gotta go to Nashville, man. They don't want to hear that. Gotcha. They don't want to hear none of them jokes.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Got you.

[Country Wayne]

And you gotta come up with new jokes. So most people play it safe. I ain't doing no special, so I can't do it. I'd rather go do 20 minutes. I'd rather do 20 minutes on a packing show. You know what I mean? Cause if I tell these jokes, you probably ain't remember them last year, but if you've seen it on tv, you gonna remember.

[Interviewer Brian]

Oh, yeah.

[Country Wayne]

And sometimes, man, this.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Doing this again, man.

[Country Wayne]

Exactly. So that's the hardest thing in coming in. You can't do that.

[Interviewer Brian]

You can say the same rap again.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah.

[Interviewer Brian]

But you can't say the same jokes again.

[Country Wayne]

Cause you see the setup. I went to my sister house and like, hold up. I know he ain't finna go to

[Interviewer Darnell]

say, man, it's such a boyfriend that

[Country Wayne]

comes to the door. So it's like man, with comedy. That's the prestige of it. That's why Cat Williams is where he at. And that's why when you get big, they stay big forever. Cause Katt don't gave you hour after hour after hour. Kevin Hart gave you hour after hour. Mike Ellis, hour after hour. Dave Chappelle, hour after hour. And when it comes to social media, country, Wayne the only one that don't gave you hour. You know what I'm saying? And they can say what they want to say. That's why I know the game. It's like, you got to drop them special. You got to get rid of that material. And then you got to go live. You got to go live. You got to get in relationships. You got to go live your life to get new material. Because it's like, that's the only way you really gonna get it. Gotta live this shit. You gotta live. You gotta live. Experience this shit. If you don't experience it, the audience gonna feel that you just talking. You gonna sound like anybody else.

[Interviewer Brian]

But the thing is with him on Merck is that he got the soap opera shit too, though. So I'm like. When I look at him, I'm like, yo, this nigga could be the next Tyler Perry. Not to put in comparison, but you see a lot of people going independent, like 50, doing his own shit.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Tyler Perry doing his own shit, not facts.

[Interviewer Brian]

Pat Williams bought a studio in Alabama. We waiting for him to do his own shit. And now you doing your own shit.

[Country Wayne]

Yo, that what I. To be honest, man, that's social media, bro. Once I seen it, this how I looked at it, man. I was like, everybody phone in their face, so everybody ain't watching tv, you know what I'm saying? So I like, if I put out enough of these, I don't seen people in the trap have more get money just like the plug. So I was like, so you know, I ran social media, and be honest, I ran it up to where it generates 7 million. I mean, seven figures a month, you know what I'm saying? Not no 7 million I don't worry about.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Don't start waiting outside for my nigga.

[Country Wayne]

Like, fuck that. This is worth it.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Nigga, this worth perfect. That N said he making 7 mil a month.

[Country Wayne]

I ain't making nowhere near those 7 million a month. You know what I'm saying? But, you know, I generate the seven figures a month. Cause I figured out, man, and I'm like, I'm 38, so I'm like the old generation, but I got the Y N generation. In my mind. Cause I got them kids. It's like. So I understood that all the eyes really on social media, tv, really can't get as big as something who got momentum. Cause it ain't gonna never see. It ain't never coming. The hardest thing I remember, I remember times. I remember I could tell you every rapper run when they come to 50. I remember how they felt. I know what it was when they was about to blow. Cause I got a good memory. You remember when DVDs and stuff came? Of course, right? You think that stuff going back. Oh, this only gonna last you? We wanted to go backwards. Cause we fell in love with it. But you gotta admit, when it's over.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Yeah.

[Country Wayne]

You know what I'm saying? It's like when 50 came, I was in a girl named Linda. Shout out Linda, my baby mama, cousin.

[Interviewer Darnell]

She was in Connecticut, yo, this guy

[Country Wayne]

here, she came down south and Wangster came on. And, I mean, she was saying it was about to come on Warner System park or something. This was before in the club. I'm right.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Yeah. Wangster was before in the club.

[Country Wayne]

All right, check this. So she kept telling us, oh, man, 50. I'm like, man, why she keep hiking up? We from the South. But she was on it so hard, right? So it made us watch the video. And I seen his confidence in the video. You want. But you. You know what I'm saying? In high school, you was. So that's what got me. I'm like, okay.

[Interviewer Darnell]

So you can relate to that line.

[Country Wayne]

Like, really? Exactly. When the club came, you felt that wave. And you would think, oh, this wave is finna be over. The wave might be over. That person is gone. All them people make it, you know what I'm saying? Who really hit? And it's like, that's where it's at with the game now. Everybody's waiting for it to go back to tv. Bro, nobody's never sitting down in history again. And watching that TV like we was. It's on that cell phone. So what I did, I tried it out on the phone. I was doing verticals before they did verticals. You know what I'm saying? Not everybody doing verticals. I'm like, bro, I've been doing this. You know what I'm saying? I've been. You know, I got like, man, I got 14 producers that's dropping skits and we shoot, we use these cell phones and we go around and get this storyline. And it ain't never going back. So I think everybody don't realize when you realize that it's like, oh, it is. Damn. This is the new world. Our kids, unless I watch a whole movie on this phone, I'm not in that mindset. Cause I'm still og. Of course, of course. So we would think, let me get mad. Put somewhere on that tv, man, something hit that phone or the iPads.

[Interviewer Darnell]

These kids care about the YouTube.

[Interviewer Brian]

Shout to YouTube. Shout to the real. Report the volume. Shout to my man over here. You know what we doing. And I feel like YouTube just took over the game.

[Country Wayne]

They took over the game and nobody don't wanna sell it. YouTube, like, I'm on Facebook and YouTube. YouTube is really my side money. You know what I'm saying? I'm on Facebook, so I stayed on Facebook. So I'm just the only one on Facebook.

[Interviewer Brian]

And I gotta understand the fact. Talk about the Facebook.

[Interviewer Darnell]

I was just about to say that, like. So you making a lot of money off of Facebook?

[Interviewer Brian]

Yeah. 11 million subscribers.

[Country Wayne]

I'm not saying it like that, but Facebook.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Facebook is a way to make money.

[Country Wayne]

Hey, man, I dominate Facebook and Facebook. Don't even realize they not getting no bigger. Cause they trying to get more creators. I'm like, bro, nobody ain't going back to Facebook and Facebook. Cause they even. They got the old mindset. They sitting there, oh, we go get more country Wayne, bro. You ain't getting no more country Wayne's dog. Cause ain't nobody coming back to Facebook. New York bit off Facebook. The south, even though I got off Facebook, I just stayed there because I'm like, well, shoot. You know how them traps in the streets, everybody leave like, well, I'm gonna keep selling. I'm gonna keep selling powder. Everybody on the new drugs, I'm gonna keep selling powder. Cause somebody what they got powder, it gonna always bump. Cause they loud. You go. You go in the bathroom, they can hit it real quick, come right back. All them other drugs, you see it on them. Soon they hit it, they gotta take a break. Hey, nah, one thing about powder, it ain't what it used to be out here, but it's still out this.

[Interviewer Darnell]

It's still out this.

[Country Wayne]

So. So I. I stay on Facebook. And social media got the game and it ain't going nowhere. Like, it'll never be a time that people are going back no more. Like Tyler, they looking at Tyler Perry. Tyler Perry fans, man. Man, they. They old. You know what I'm saying? So Tyler Perry got the older fans who stuck with it. It just ain't going back. But if you in this new generation, dog, if you ain't doing what y' all doing to this right now. All them TV shows and movies, man. Only way you do make a movie jump is you own this. Like, when I drop. That's her. It's because my fan, I'm gonna be able to put it in my videos, and they be like, country Wayne got a movie. Oh, it came out. And then as soon as that movie over, they going right back.

[Interviewer Brian]

That's her resignation.

[Interviewer Darnell]

That's a fact.

[Interviewer Brian]

He's the next one Murder. Trust me. He's never been, like, in a major film. And I heard you talk about that. That's what's next for him. Or doing his own films, yo. Because people love it. Like, they love this guy. So at the end of the day, like, say he was to put that's her on Facebook. That shit'll sell.

[Country Wayne]

Yup.

[Interviewer Brian]

The relationship shit is. That's what makes him different to me. Like, he could talk about his kids, he could talk about his baby moms. I still hate my baby moms. Like, it's just shit that's relatable. But when you watch, I see you

[Interviewer Darnell]

said one of your sons is mad. Cause you said you planned on getting an abortion. Was he really mad at you?

[Country Wayne]

Oh, yeah, he was mad. He always. Man, what made you want to.

[Interviewer Brian]

I didn't want to bring that one up.

[Interviewer Darnell]

I'm just saying, Mr. Real, before we

[Country Wayne]

got to talk about Daddy, why you want to kill me? Why? He know you. I didn't know.

[Interviewer Darnell]

I was still trying to figure out life.

[Country Wayne]

I was trying to figure out life, man.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Fact,

[Country Wayne]

you're taking it personal, but, yeah, that's hilarious. But that's what stuff. Relate to everybody, bro.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Of course.

[Country Wayne]

Relationships and stuff. And so that's what I stick to. I stick to my relationship, you know? I mean, I ain't really the type of comedian that I stay on the same subject. And the relationship stuff, it always work. Everything. Relationships is always. It run the game. Cause women. Oh, man, Women run this game, man.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Definitely do, man.

[Country Wayne]

People definitely do. Yeah, man. They never really fought over no money. It don't be no. It's a girl in there somewhere. It's something.

[Interviewer Brian]

Think about it. When you go to a show, you're going because your girl wants to go.

[Country Wayne]

Girl.

[Interviewer Brian]

You know what I'm saying? You know, I.

[Country Wayne]

That'd be my drug. I was like, I'm already a woman is the most. Come on, man.

[Interviewer Darnell]

That is my drug. The woman is my drug.

[Country Wayne]

Well, God created a woman. He knew what he was doing.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Got you. Got you, Wayne, everybody.

[Country Wayne]

They don't made us so bad, people try not to say that no more. Well man, come on man, you ain't lying.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Everything we do is for them. Everything.

[Country Wayne]

Everything.

[Interviewer Darnell]

The money, the jewelry, everything, Everything.

[Country Wayne]

Joker, I ain't putting on cologne for who you put it on for. Because you ain't man. Women, bro. So women. I stay on that subject. And one thing about a woman, man. Hey, you get that audience. You, you. You know what I'm saying? You up there, even when, even when people like don't be knowing that I be got stuff going on. It's like me to get Coco Jones in the movie, bro. That was just lit super dope.

Talk about that's her. Cause I want to see it now.

[Country Wayne]

Oh, that's her, man. It's a love story about. I'm playing a corporate guy and I'm kind of like, I ain't Wayne no Chance. And Chance kind of like he ain't from the streets. He kind of, you know, he corny to the streets. That don't mean he corny, but he a corporate guy.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Got you.

[Country Wayne]

And he in his world. And this girl come and he like her. He feel her in her spirit. But it's his other girl, light skinned. Where he really be after. Throw him off and he chasing her. But the whole time it was. She was the right one for him. But the name of the movie, that's her. And he got to choose between them two. And it's Coco and another girl. I ain't gonna tell the whole story, how it end. But I got Loretta Devine in there. I got Ms. Pat, you know what I'm saying? I got Lou Williams, I mean Lou Yong got Ben Dadun, you know, I got a lot of other people.

[Interviewer Darnell]

When that's dropping, when that's dropping, I'm

[Country Wayne]

gonna drop a net for sure.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Okay.

[Country Wayne]

I'm dreaming.

[Interviewer Brian]

We waiting on that.

[Country Wayne]

That's fire independent film. I 100 financed myself through SAG and everything. Did it the right way. The quality gonna shock. It's gonna. It's gonna shock people. And that's my game really with these movies. And I just got a. A movie offer for something else we put together. But that's a whole nother situation I can't talk about. But that's why I cut my beard. So really. So really right now it's the movie game. Got you the movie game. What's the next step? And just taking that thing from. Cause whatever you sell on social media, that's the only thing gonna sell. Like. It's like you don't wanna go to Popeye's Chicken to get some banana pudding. And they can have the best banana pudding, but you're not gonna want it, not promoting it.

[Interviewer Darnell]

You don't see them yet.

[Country Wayne]

So if you notice, whatever you sell to the audience on social media, that's what they wan. So with me, since I don't be funny out there like that before, before the pandemic, everywhere you went, you be like, man, country way ain't funny. Country way ain't funny. Today I went on Shannon Sharp. I told my people, I said, I'm finna go in here and talk about business. Watch how I shift the culture, how they look at you. Cause how they look at you, that's what they want. So when people find out I knew about business and stuff, it's like, it's hard to look at him. Like, he ain't silly. He tricked us. Cause when I was being silly, that

[Interviewer Darnell]

was like, he know his shit. Like, he. Oh, he owned.

[Country Wayne]

That's right. So you gotta stay in the subject matter of what you selling on social media. That why 85 south was so big. Because 85 south was sitting on that sofa interviewing people and they took that show on stage. If they would have took on stage that we finna go in here and do a motivational speaking. They fans know we wanna see that, definitely. So it's like, whatever you show on social media, that's what they want. So I have to stay on the relationship. I had the relationship movie. I wouldn't have took no financial risk to do nothing else. Because if I fail, I'd rather fail what I know than going out there trying to shoot a movie that ain't got nothing to do with relationship. I got to stay on that subject matter. Cause that's my subject.

[Interviewer Darnell]

The relationships. That's my subject. Do you got any relationship advice for anybody Out.

[Country Wayne]

Stay up. Hey. I'm telling you, in a relationship. Hey, it's a competition. Stay up. Don't. Ain't no woman gonna ever love you like you think she love you. Because it's too much out here to love. And a woman would cheat on you.

[Interviewer Brian]

Say that. Hold on. Say that again.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah. Ain't no woman gonna ever love you like you think she love you. Cause it's too much out here to love. So a woman. Sometimes man cheat on a woman with another woman a lot, but a woman cheat on a man with the world. So what I'm saying, like, you. You could be a woman ain't gonna. You could be in a relationship with A woman, but at the end of the day, she gonna look out the window. Because the window is on the phone. Now, it ain't even her fault. It's more. It's like us going to the casino and gambling. We work a dice game. We might. Even though we don't lost dice so much, we still attempt that, man. Of course, it's like now they got gambling on the phone. Of course, like my brother, when they put gambling on the phone, I'm like, bro, he go over now, he could gamble on the phone, he could bet on a game. So if you just stay up, no matter what you in, that's any business. That's a universal game that I put in my book. Out of all the rules, I got a lot of laws. Stop while you're ahead. If you're doing something you know you're getting away with, stop while you're ahead. You know what I'm saying? You know, you know what you're doing. Stop why you're here. You feel what I'm saying? But the main rule I say, always remember this one is stay up, dog. Cause if you stay up, even if people try you, whatever, they not gonna do it. They gonna think about it first. So just stay up. And that's what a relationship is all about, man. You gotta stay up, dog. You gotta stand up.

[Interviewer Brian]

You might need to write a book. I wrote a book.

[Country Wayne]

I wrote a book out here was on the Way. He was like one of the best sellers.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Oh, look at that.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah, I wrote a book. I had a book deal. I don't got book deals, man. I don't did a lot.

[Interviewer Brian]

But help is on the way.

[Country Wayne]

I gotta get that and that book, dog. Stay up in a relationship. Cause I'm telling you, man, if you fall off, I'm talking about that. Come with, man. Make sure you drink your water. Stand up. Ain't just money. Don't get comfortable in that relationship. Cause she the biggest secret in the game. If men knew how much women cheat, Men stopped cheating. Damn a woman. That's why it hurt so bad. Cause you know we gonna cheat. You can tell? Of course you can tell. What we talk about how we acting? Man, I'm out with a hom, homeboy. Man, you always tripping. Oh, you just wanna get loose tonight. You try to find out, hey, hey, I'm gonna hang out what's his name tonight, you know what I'm saying?

[Interviewer Darnell]

Females already know your patterns. You done did it so much, so they know your patterns.

[Country Wayne]

A woman come home and she moaned when you making Love to her. She moaned like she ain't never felt this before. So it hurts a man more to know. Shout it, man. Shout it. A moon song. So it's like, you gotta stay if you're in the business and you competitive, like them basketball players they playing. Cause this team will get rid of me. So you got to stay up. Like, nah, I ain't studying that. I'm still going to the gym. I'm working out for sure. You have to stay a superstar in your relationship, man. Don't get comfortable. Don't never let her see you down. You know what I'm saying?

[Interviewer Darnell]

Remain a superstar in your relationship. I like that.

[Country Wayne]

So you won't get traded. You don't want her just to be with you. Cause she can't get nobody else. Because that means even if she's still with you, she already gone spiritually. You want her to be with you because you the superstar. And how you do that, bro? Stay up, man. Do the best at what you can with what you got. And what you got, man, you got your mind and your temple. Everything else could be took it. But this all God gave you, man. Man, make sure you get. You make sure you drink enough water. I tell everybody you drink enough water. So that's 99% of your problems. Cause you're gonna make hydrated decisions. Cause it's like when you get drunk, that ain't nothing but dehydrating your mind. So people drunk all day and don't know it. So the decisions you make when you're drunk, you gonna be making them decisions all day. But if you just drink enough water, it's gonna tell you your body gonna be at its best. And it'll tell you how to move, how to think, how to what to do. Because that woman, boy, the game is like a woman. A woman is a spirit. So everything we in the businesses, we in the way to make money attract to you. Everything. Like a woman. If you stay up, like right now, it's like, I got a special because I was up. Like, I'm doing so many. I'm doing so many numbers on social media, they scared not to give me no money. Cause they scared another network to give you money. Cause they know somebody gonna give it to me. But if I ain't bumping online no more, and I lit up and I ain't got my. I post four there they, bro. Because I'm the reason why I post 4 today. Because I'm like, ain't no other social media person finna get in. Well, if you get in. Congratulations, but I wanted out of producer

[Interviewer Brian]

He got 14 producers, though. I'm saying he do got 14 producers.

[Country Wayne]

Oh yeah. You know what I'm saying? We had to turn it up now. Cause I just understood. And when I first started doing that stuff, people calling the corner. You can't. Another thing about social media too, and all this. You can't care what people say. The farther you gonna go, bro. A comment.

[Interviewer Darnell]

I'm telling my brother that sometimes fuck them comments. Give a about com y like comments. Do you care about comments, man?

[Country Wayne]

Bro, heck no, I don't care. Okay, cuz, think about this, right? All of us special people like us who come from the streets, right? Right. We can't go to jail in this. So whatever they talking about.

[Interviewer Brian]

So I like talking. I like talking.

[Interviewer Darnell]

That's the facts.

[Interviewer Brian]

I like. You need another book out, bro. You need to write another one with all this knowledge, bro.

[Country Wayne]

Man, it's like, bro, whatever they talk, I be thankful. Like, I put out my stuff. I put up my specials, bro. I love to be hated. Like, I put out my specials. I love the nigga to come in, come. Like, I be thankful, dog. They talking about. They talking negative about me, man. I'm like, I don't care about the comments. Cause it ain't real. It's like, I ain't going to prison. So it's like, I ain't going to prison. All that, man. I'm never. I never respond.

[Interviewer Darnell]

You can tell a street nigga, right? He said, I ain't going to prison, like, three times. I ain't going to prison. I ain't going to prison.

[Country Wayne]

Man OVER Come here to.

[Interviewer Brian]

Come here.

[Country Wayne]

Got creative. They all in doing that to get attention. So it's like when you understand the math of the game, they part of the game. It's like when in the Bible, when David was getting away and the dude was all in his face, about to spit in his face, and his homie want to kill dude. And David like, hold up, bro. This part of what I supposed to go through, this part of the story, let it be. You feel what I'm saying? So it's like, if it weren't for those negative comments, we wouldn't be where we at. So we got to let it ride. At the end of the day, man, people, you could talk about my, like, my mama. My mama dead. If you call my mama, you could do whatever you want to do. You can talk about my family or whatever. I'm like, hey, bro, I ain't going to prison over this, man. That's a comment. And I really just don't care. You feel what I'm saying? It's just that sometimes when people in power say something, I always call them on the phone. I don't call a lot of comedians and be like, hey, what's going on, man?

[Interviewer Brian]

Yeah, why you hating?

[Country Wayne]

Yeah, like, why? Why we doing that? You know what I'm saying?

[Interviewer Darnell]

Oh, you got some hate before. Like, niggas.

[Country Wayne]

Oh, yeah. A lot of people hate me. A lot people hate me, but I'm so street. They ain't street, so they can't hide it. There's people that don't say it. Hate. One thing about Faison, love. He was hating on me, but I told him to his face, at least I respect that. You hating out loud, right? I respect enough. I know how Faison feel. The other people, they don't think you see it. But it like, bro, you know, it be people that if you ask any comedian go around as he comedian, my name don't come up. Cause they think ignoring me, brother. People see, people ain't seen.

[Interviewer Darnell]

That's a fact.

[Country Wayne]

There's no way not here. My biggest crowd is New York.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Look at that.

[Country Wayne]

You know what I'm saying?

[Interviewer Brian]

I fuck with you out here.

[Country Wayne]

New York, it got everybody in it. So it's like the real gonna rock with the real. You know what I'm saying? So you can't ignore it. So a lot of people, a lot of comedians try to ignore me. Because one comedian, an agent, told me this. She said, everybody think you arrogant. I said, nah, I'm not arrogant. I'm just confident. Cause there's work behind this. I'm dropping 40 skits a day. I'm doing the interviews. I'm going to work on stand up, going to these comedy clubs, throwing away these jokes. Do this work. Building a whole nother set while the nostalgia was coming. If I'm working harder than them, no, they arrogant to think they gonna get the same results as me. That's arrogance. That work less than somebody.

[Interviewer Darnell]

I thought you was arrogant first, too.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah, everybody.

[Interviewer Darnell]

I'm not gonna hold you. When I saw. I think I saw you do a Breakfast Club interview. Yeah, everybody really feeling himself, man. Like on Surreal.

[Country Wayne]

I'm not going front yet.

[Interviewer Darnell]

He was.

[Country Wayne]

It's that New York energy. Like, I'm a country boy, but I always got along with New York people. My boy Darnell, he came to New. He came to Millen. He know how New York. Some people move down south. I always got along with New York people. Cause I never switched up when I got in New York, everybody. Soon as New York came down, everybody. What's up, son? Yo, I'm like, why y' all talking like that? Everybody dribbling now, man. Go to the hole, man. We don't dribble that long. That's New York. But I always had that New York company. Cause the reason why New York got company is. Cause they know, man, if I could make it here, I could make it anywhere, right? So what I came through and where I came from, it just be confidence. And people be taking as arrogant. I'm like, nah, bro. For you not to work as hard as me, whether you're a comedian, I'm like, that's arrogant to think you gonna get the same results. It ain't, bro. I'm not finna I'm not finna shrink just because you in the room or you a comedian, dog. Go work, bro. Go get some new jokes.

[Interviewer Brian]

He's working. You gotta think about this, Merk. When you watch MrBeast, Mr. Beast is on Amazon prime. Like him, and he's on YouTube. He's doing the same thing. Nostalgia's on Amazon prime, and he's killing YouTube. So when you look at YouTube, I think the two, like, biggest comedians on YouTube is him and Drew Ski.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah, shout out to Drew Ski, man. All them boys, and I'm the only one, man. I give all them boys they respect.

[Interviewer Brian]

Yeah, I fuck with Desi Banks, too, but Desi Banks is more.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Y' all niggas better start Putting some respect on out in the country. Stop leaving him out the conversation even though he don't give a anyway, cuz

[Country Wayne]

he get in the bag. To be honest, some of them list I don't even want to be on. I'm like, I couldn't wait till the certain audience start saying I wasn't funny. I say, when you. When you start. When they start saying you ain't funny, that's the one that make it got you. Everybody was swearing. Everybody from the street swear Kevin Hart ain't funny.

[Interviewer Darnell]

I'm like, I about to say, they said that about him. They said that about Kevin Hart early.

[Country Wayne]

I remember that because they don't realize some stuff that people do ain't funny to me too. But I still know it's funny. I could listen to a song, right? I could listen to Kendrick, and I don't listen to Kendrick, but I know that's still the best. He's better than what I'm listening to. So what happens is when it don't relate to them, they think it ain't good. Instead of being like, that just ain't my cup of tea.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Got you.

[Country Wayne]

That just ain't my cup of tea. But. But when you really realize the game, you like, nah, that's still. That still is what it is. I just don't like it. You feel what I'm saying? Just cause I don't eat chicken no more, bro. I know chicken good. Chicken way better than tofu. Just cause I eat tofu. I'm not feeling people falling. That's what people do. People fall in love. You don't ever supposed to fall in love with something out of you more than what's in you. Cause if you stay in love with you, you just gonna do the truth. It'd be like, nah, bro. But it can do this, but it can do that. I ain't my cup of tea. But I think a lot of people just. It's just that they feel like that before they meet me. Like a lot of people thought I'm arrogant, but it's like, bro, man, I ain't arrogant. I'm just confident and I've been through a lot.

[Interviewer Brian]

You gotta be confident.

[Country Wayne]

You gotta be confident in this, man.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Definitely, definitely.

[Country Wayne]

But they do. But I get why they say I'm arrogant though. Because like, I get on interviews and I say stuff like I wasn't aware in the beginning.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Let me say that right when I first heard. I'm like, who the fuck is this

[Interviewer Brian]

nigga talking like this?

[Country Wayne]

Yeah, talking.

[Interviewer Darnell]

This nigga talking crazy.

[Country Wayne]

My ex wife told me I started doing my homework.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Like, oh, okay.

[Country Wayne]

My ex wife say, when me and hose together, she said, you need to stop going on interview. She said, cause ain't nobody gonna rock with you. Because I say, why? She said, cause it's like you be sunning niggas. I'm like, bro, I ain't sonning nobody. Like, it's because, like, you talk like you been in the game a long time. Like, nah, I ain't been in this game. But it ain't nothing but one real game. And it's the game of life facts. I'm like a joker. So when you've been at the game of life you gonna have when you do get in any. It's like when Jay Z got in the game. I tell everybody this, bro, Jay Z didn't really pop till he was 27 a lot. If you pop when you was 21, what make you think you was gonna he. He lived in the game long. He was still out there a little bit, right? So I came in the game when I was about 27. So I don't be in the streets. You know, we trafficking adult. Me and my daddy buy the brick together. I'm out there. Moment. Allegedly, he got pulled for it. I got a statue.

[Interviewer Brian]

My daddy bought a brick together.

[Country Wayne]

Statue of limitations.

[Interviewer Darnell]

There we go.

[Country Wayne]

My uncles went to prison. My daddy was in the streets. All my. My mama was in the streets. You went through a lot of pain to feel the glory. So I remember going to a Jay Z concert, bro, and me and my brother was watching, and Jay Z did this with his hand. He said, I'm a hustler, period. He had. I said, ooh. I said, aubrey, you seen his hand? He ain't understand. I say, bro, Jay Z trying to tell y', all, dawg, I was gonna beat you anyway. He like, I'm a hustler. Jay Z and 50 of them are hustlers. They gonna get in the game, whatever game. If they would have been selling tires from the experiences they had, they were gonna beat you anyway. Cause you ain't go out work on facts. You gonna get in the game, and you gonna go out of town with these women too much versus people who live their life and made it out, bro. It's so much pain that by the time you get here, you like, bro, I went through too much to get here. You not finna play with me. And I see you, so it's like you ain't even gotta say nothing. So most people think they be hiding how they Feel be doing little. Cause they ain't street. So a street person, if you ain't street, they a slight hate on the Internet. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, bro, I see. It's like, people be say something like, I be like, all right, bro. You don't see me do comedy. You know what I do to every show. You ain't never heard a show a country Wayne ever. Bomb, man. Trust me, if I would have bombed once. They can't wait to bomb.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Get more.

[Country Wayne]

There's too many women. There's too many women watching me. I do want to be like, see, I told you. I told you, buddy. Wasn't like that. For real. You know what I'm saying? But, man, to be on tour with Mike Epps or Lavelle Crawford, them Earthquake. And I ain't cursing them comedians know, bro. I'm doing this without cursing. Who got the hood crowd? I got jokers in the crowd. My boy Wayne. That my boy. And ain't saying a cuss word. I'm like, so since y' all ain't gonna say it, when I do talk, I'm gonna speak it. Cause you don't hear no comedians being for real. Like, you'll hear earthquake. Don't say that. Cause I done went behind Earthquake when he telling that joke about the doctor and it's telling the crowd shelter.

[Interviewer Brian]

Earthquake.

[Country Wayne]

Funny, yeah. Earthquake, man. Earthquake. Lavelle Crawford, bro. Tony Roberts. I just went on tour with Mike Epps last year. I went behind Tony Roberts every night. And if you've been to a comedy show, of course you know what Tony Roberts doing to that stage.

[Interviewer Brian]

Definitely.

[Country Wayne]

Every time. So it's like the comedians know. You know what I'm saying? It's just that they feel like I'm gonna make you work a little harder to get it. Because you ain't really. You ain't. I'm work you. I'm gonna work a little harder for you to get my respect. And I'm like, bro, as long as Jesus respect me, bro, I really don't care. So I'm like, bro, I always show people the utmost respect, but I can feel that energy. I'm from the street, so when somebody give me that energy, like, bro, it's forever. It ain't never. It ain't never coming back in here. That's why I understand, bro, when I be saying the beef with rappers and all that, some stuff, I be like, I understand how they feel. Like it's forever.

[Interviewer Brian]

Yeah, definitely.

[Country Wayne]

It's forever, dog. Because I'm not finna take the risk of you coming back in my energy and you being the same person. Facts. I really. You know what I'm saying? Cause I know.

[Interviewer Darnell]

I rather just be comfortable knowing that

[Country Wayne]

you got to stay the fuck over

[Interviewer Darnell]

there and away from me.

[Country Wayne]

So. And it's like that. And when you dealing with something that you feed your family, like, it's just coming all, bro. It ain't just company. Cause this how I feed my kids. So everybody I ever met, every comedian, I give them props. I be like, all of them funny, all this and that. But a lot of comedians, but the real ones say my name. Cat Williams said my name. You know what I'm saying? Mike Epps. You know what I'm saying?

[Interviewer Darnell]

That's a real one, man.

[Country Wayne]

Mike Epps, a real one.

[Interviewer Darnell]

He hosted one of my mixtapes. He hosted one of Yayo mixtapes, too, man.

[Country Wayne]

I guess, man, Most of the OGs really give my props. Cause they seen me come through. They. They seen the work I put in. But the. The new era really be the problem. Because they feel like I think a lot of them think I think I'm better. I'm like, nah, bro, I'm not working to everybody, man. I got 10 kids. I'm dropping 40 videos a day. Damn. You know what I'm saying? This work. And I'm not finna, like, I'm not. I'm not one of the people who believe in Jesus that turn like, I'm gonna fight my battles. I'm like, bro, Jesus popped it. Yeah. Jesus ain't lying. See, people don't understand, bro. People thinking that Jesus, like, oh, my father, man. Jesus was in like, bro, Peter don't. He was talking to Peter. Either y' all follow me or y' all ain't. I'm the one that's right.

[Interviewer Brian]

Trust Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.

[Country Wayne]

Everybody who truly believe in Jesus, for real, you gonna have that energy. Cause you like, bro, I know what's backing me, and I got the mission. And I'm screaming his name. And I'm doing it in the way that I'm doing it in the way that I don't really. I could have. I had a character named Drip that had took over the streets.

[Interviewer Brian]

Yeah, Drip, Drip.

[Country Wayne]

I could have stayed with Drip. Drip had got so big. I could have stayed with Drip. Before I did Drip, I told my partner, Mike, I said, bro, I mean, I'm bread. I said, brad, I'm finna do this character name Drip, and everybody finna stop posting for a minute. I put Drip on Instagram. Drip was so big because when I started talking about the streets, a lot of social media people couldn't do the videos no more. Because Drip was talking real talk. Yo, yo, let me give me a four way. And he was opening the plug money. And then he owed the plug for 100,000. The plug. Looking for the plug for. He's like, I got 16,000. And the plug like, hey, Drip, man, you owe me a hundred. He said, yo, I had to sell mine first, but the rest of it gonna add up. So the real dope boys around the

[Interviewer Darnell]

country were like, they know how that go.

[Country Wayne]

Nah, bro, this Wayne on some. So what happened was I grabbed the streets with Drip. Cause they like, oh, he ain't. And that's what happened. The people who follow me are the real ones. And people can't understand why y' all following Wayne. Because it's like, bro, he talking about real life.

[Interviewer Brian]

Yeah, it's relatable. It's relatable.

[Country Wayne]

It's relatable. And a lot of people, they be like, what you want me to do? Be piped down. And I'm like, bro, I'm promoting myself. Since nobody else don't promote me. I'm gonna let you know, I'm gonna sell tickets everywhere, and the street's gonna be in there. It ain't got a curse. You know what I'm saying? So to keep the. Who said that one time, shout out to Darnell Rollins. He put up a post. He said, man, the fact that Country Wayne stopped cursing, didn't say Jesus and didn't lose the streets, definitely.

[Interviewer Darnell]

How long you been not cursing?

[Country Wayne]

I started cursing my company when I first started, like 2015. Well, that's crazy. And I still killed and I still kept him. And they left at first. I remember they were like. When I first popped, I grabbed everybody. I was cursing all the rappers, everybody. I grabbed everybody. And my manager came to me and was like, you need to stop cursing. I just did it. Cause my grandmas and was watching. And I was like, you know what? I'm just gonna do it. Because the older crowd and I lost the hood for a minute. Cause people like, it just weren't related. It's weird. He ain't coming to without cursing. Cause the timing.

[Interviewer Darnell]

So you try to tell me you didn't curse in this new shit. I just watched nostalgia.

[Country Wayne]

Nah, I say, here.

[Interviewer Darnell]

You pulled it off.

[Country Wayne]

I say, here we go. I didn't even.

[Interviewer Darnell]

It's crazy, right? This one, you know, just funny. Pardon me for cursing. Like, I just curse all the time. I Curse all the time. Right? But it's crazy. I didn't even realize that you didn't curse and was just laughing, having a good time, watching the.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah, a lot of people didn't notice that. A lot of people don't realize that.

[Interviewer Darnell]

I didn't notice that.

[Interviewer Brian]

Yeah, that's because he got Jesus behind. I see this piece that said Jesus is popping Jesus like. Like he said. Donnell Rollins said. He said Jesus. He cursed. I thought his career was over, but he got God behind him and Jesus.

[Interviewer Darnell]

That's crazy, man. That's dope.

[Interviewer Brian]

Respect.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah. So, man, it's all love, man. But I love. I love everybody. But at the same time, the hate do be out there. And. And I just think everybody. Who everybody. Because I come from. I. I try to be a rapper first.

[Interviewer Darnell]

That serious?

[Country Wayne]

Yeah, I got some rap songs. Okay. Okay. I try. Everybody go look up.

[Interviewer Darnell]

My man.

[Country Wayne]

You made YouTube rap videos. Matter of fact, don't look it up.

[Interviewer Darnell]

So what happened? It didn't work.

[Interviewer Brian]

Matter of fact, don't look it up.

[Country Wayne]

Don't look it up. But I think when I came into comedy game with rapper energy, okay. So I looked at it different, you know what I'm saying? So I came in with rapper energy.

[Interviewer Darnell]

I was on some trapping. So it's different.

[Country Wayne]

So that confidence come from. I'm like a hip hop person in the comedy game. And I. Cause I. I like you say. You know what I'm saying? I know they was beefing, but 50 and Ti Jay Z Jeezy. So I come in that era. So when I got in the company game, I'm like, this what it is. It's friendly, fun, who go the hardest, you know what I'm saying?

[Interviewer Darnell]

Definitely.

[Country Wayne]

Comedians be sensitive, but it be like the people who tell the most jokes.

[Interviewer Brian]

Who you think is more sensitive, Comedians or rappers, man?

[Country Wayne]

Comedians, man.

[Interviewer Brian]

I thought rappers.

[Country Wayne]

No. Cause comedians,

[Interviewer Darnell]

I think the comedians gotta have tougher skin.

[Country Wayne]

They got tougher skin. But comedians like to be liked. The moment you. Okay, so comedians, a rapper used to. Not to be. They used to be.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Yeah, we don't give. Yeah, we wouldn't give a fuck. We want to be liked, but we don't give a fuck if people don't like.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah, it's like a different energy. Yeah. If you don't like a comedian. For real. For real. And it really hit like that, they doing it to be liked. When the comedians being funny in class, they want the audience to like that. So what happens with a comedian, man? Comedians get sensitive, bro. They think about it. Comedians don't even work together like rappers do. Rappers could be beefing facts.

[Interviewer Brian]

That is true.

[Country Wayne]

And still, once upon a time, they might beefing it. Like, at the end of the day, you fall for that. If you want, you got 50. And ti them beefing. Yeah, they beefing now. But, man, when they was really, really, really everybody, hey, man, worked together some kind of safe, man. We getting the money, of course, but when they get there, we got some money. All right? We got time to be petty, we got time to be whatever. But rap game, man. Just like lil baby dub, 42 dub, man, them boy got together, you know what I'm saying? Made them songs.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Definitely ran that bag up right quick.

[Country Wayne]

They. When Baby was dead hot, him and Durk was hot. Baby and Dirk, man. You know what I'm saying? Let's work together. Comedians.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Ain't no way in hell you say

[Country Wayne]

they doing no shit. They ain't sharing their energy.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Got you. Okay.

[Country Wayne]

Because you gotta think about it.

[Interviewer Brian]

I agree with it.

[Country Wayne]

A lot of rappers was getting women before rap. Or some of them. That's true, right? A lot of comedians weren't getting women before comedy. So now they got women and they got money. You not finna take that from them.

[Interviewer Darnell]

See, but y' all niggas ain't like country Wayne. Cause my man has seven kids before this shit started.

[Country Wayne]

Oh, no, but that's the real problem. A lot of comedians, that's what they mad about. It's really. Because I'm really. I don't come off like. It's the women, bro. They know the women. Hey, man, they know the women on me. They be a hater in a different way than a comedian way, you know what I'm saying? Like, they know the women on me. And most comedians don't have that. Not all of them. Most, you know, say smg. And I don't want to call no name. Cause if I call out song, they think I'm calling them, right? But just call them up, call them up. Just being transparent, right? The fan base I got with women or how women might rock with me. A lot of comedians don't get the same.

[Interviewer Brian]

Same love.

[Country Wayne]

And I've been had it. Like I say, the mothers of my kids, a couple of them was homecoming queens, you know what I'm saying? So it's like, I been had the women. If you got the women, they gonna hate you, bro. That's why they hate Jesus. Cause no matter what you do for a woman, if you do a lot for her, she gonna say, thank you, Jesus.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Jesus, I ain't know where you was going with that? I ain't going. Jesus. Yeah, I didn't know where he was going.

[Country Wayne]

Up on a donkey, sideways. So that's why a lot of people, man, people gonna hate on the person who getting the women, dog. And I ain't even. And I don't even. I ain't even after no women. I'm after the. I was after women when I was supposed to be after women in high school. By the time I got 22, I ain't been stuck. I been stuck in that paper. So now the game flip. They after the women. I'm like, I ain't stuck them. But when you after that paper, that's. They after you anyway. When you chase women, you run them off. Cause the day you give a woman the attention that she begging for, the day that she conquered, you give what got her attention. Attention. Focus on yourself, man. Focus on God and focus on your work, man. Oh, man, I don't do Valentine's Day. I don't do birthdays.

[Interviewer Brian]

For real?

[Country Wayne]

No, I don't do none of that.

[Interviewer Brian]

No birthdays?

[Country Wayne]

No, I don't. Like, I give somebody some money for their birthday, but I don't put no extra effort in.

[Interviewer Brian]

So you got five baby mothers and you don't do.

[Country Wayne]

They already know I don't play. That I don't do. I don't celebrate holidays for their birthday. I give them some money, but it's like I stay so focused on what I'm focused on. It keeps you. It keeps you like the book 48 Laws of Power. You remember the story in there when the dude was walking around putting a brick in front of the brick, and everybody was following him around the bar, like, what he doing? But he was taking it to the new circus that came in town. If you stay in when you stay, and when you stay, what you doing? People follow you, bro. Like. Like, that's how social media is. If you stay working on social media and they see your work and they see you home too much and chilling, they lose engagement. You know what I'm saying? But you might have engagement over there. But to keep that real engagement, people want to see you work, people want to see you move. And that's how everything is. So I just.

[Interviewer Brian]

We got to work harder. Murder 14 videos.

[Country Wayne]

Y' all do what y' all want to do. Y'. All. Y'. All. You know what I'm saying? Y' all OG So y' all can move how y' all want to move.

[Interviewer Brian]

No, we got.

[Country Wayne]

Y' all already don't Move. How we had to move.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Don't stop.

[Interviewer Brian]

Listen, when I heard 14 clips. That's crazy.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah, yeah.

[Interviewer Brian]

14 clips in a day.

[Interviewer Darnell]

40.

[Interviewer Brian]

40

[Country Wayne]

clips. It's 40 clips a day of brand new content. Three minutes, you know I'm saying three minutes or more because you know it got me three minutes or more to monetize. But yo, man, we trapping, we trapping. All trapping all day. Wait, you know what I'm saying? You know how the traps is. I couldn't wait. Somebody stopped trapping. Man, I don't sell no more dope after 8 o'. Clock. Thank you.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Used to not want to hustle on Sundays like that.

[Country Wayne]

Okay, no problem.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Everybody stay in the house. We outside. Okay, cool.

[Country Wayne]

I know Burger King love with Chick Fil A shut down on Sunday.

[Interviewer Brian]

Of course.

[Interviewer Darnell]

You better believe it. Better believe it.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah, but now you got. You got to do that with the social because the social media is still fairly new. So it's just like, it's really that grind. It's a new world, you know what I'm saying? You ain't gonna be with. Y' all done done with Jay Z, 50. And you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? All ti. Everybody done already done. You can't do that no more. And the only way you do that now you gotta do everything because you not finna drop a movie or album to have the world waiting unless you marvel. You feel what I'm saying? Cause everybody got. Say you got a big movie coming, right Then something happened on Shade Room, but these two people fought, this couple fought and went to jail. And you trying to catch the audience. Hey, hey. But you know, I got this movie coming. So it's like, hey, you know, back in the day we have social media. So when this drop on one assistant point part, it's dropping that's getting all the attention, getting all the attention.

[Interviewer Brian]

So when the album drop a single drop, all the attention, all the attention

[Country Wayne]

you can't get, you can't get that no more. You really can't. Unless you got to think about Kendrick and Drake beefed and they caught the attention. Something like that had to happen, right to for something like that to happen. You feel what I'm saying? It's like you can't really get their attention and then they forget about you. That's fast. Fast. Them songs back in the day used to last, bro. You hear a song, we ride for this for a minute.

[Interviewer Darnell]

We was just talking about that earlier. Yeah, like a person put out an album. It used to be like for the year.

[Country Wayne]

And you was good.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Like, one album rocking for a year, you know? But now it's like, man, that's.

[Country Wayne]

Please.

[Interviewer Brian]

Yeah.

[Country Wayne]

You fight for attention, so you got to get in there every second of the day. And I. And I had to get what I did. I let them do it for me. I got out of the game and let producers keep their attention while I'm working, working. Because if I had to stay in front of that camera all day, when I watch social media, people stay in front of their camera, I like, oh, they ain't gonna outlast me. Cause I'm like, they ain't gonna keep. They ain't gonna be able to keep doing that. I'm like, man, because you gonna burn out versus me. I was like, oh, you supposed to share the game. So what I did, I made people hot. I made Mike, Bliss, Ro, Natasha, Shayla, you know, saying. And other characters on my page. Hi, Amber. And all these people. Ernestine and Erica, Sarah. I said, if I get Share them with my audience, I started pulling. I started doing videos without me in them, and they started still liking them. I said, oh, I got them. I said, because now I could go maneuver and go shoot my movie with Coco Jones, of course. Because if not, I was gonna have to keep standing in front of that camera. What happens when you stay. I stopped Drip before he fell off. Cause I told my people, I said, he gonna fall off.

[Interviewer Darnell]

I don't want motherfuckers to get tired of this.

[Country Wayne]

Nigga, man, you gonna. If you stay up, bro, people either gonna get tired of you. It's like you got to fall off. So you gotta take yourself down before they take you down. Cause if you take yourself down, you know what I'm saying? How Jay Z.

[Interviewer Brian]

Cause you could bring Drip back now.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah, you could do a whole movie with Drip. Honestly, Drip got a movie. Drip got a studio. I mean. I mean, man, Drill got a movie coming, man. Drew got a movie coming from a real big studio.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Oh, look at that.

[Country Wayne]

It gonna be on. It's going to theaters and everything. Drip got a movie because he's so legendary. Cause I stopped while he was ahead.

[Interviewer Darnell]

That's smart. Look at that.

[Country Wayne]

And he got a movie coming. It's gonna be big. But, yo, it's like this social media game. It's just like the streets. And he just got the. You got. But one thing I like about social media. You ain't going to prison.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Facts.

[Interviewer Brian]

That's true.

[Country Wayne]

Street, she go to Bullet Touch you for real. I remember somebody hit me with a Come in and a bullet, somebody. I quit. I ain't bouncing back. That's one thing I don't like getting. I don't like getting shot.

[Interviewer Darnell]

I don't think nobody like that. I don't think nobody like that.

[Country Wayne]

Talk about me on social media. Talk about me on that comment.

[Interviewer Darnell]

He said, I'm cool with that. Talk all day.

[Country Wayne]

Social media, you can really hustle. You know, you in the streets. The first thing we think, hey, man, what if this was legal? I make some more money. Cause you know, street be playing. Oh, man, this money. I won't be at this. Oh, boy, don't go to this. But it's something always get in the way of that plan versus social media, bro. As long as you grind. It's a competition to a certain degree. Because it is the algorithm.

[Interviewer Brian]

Yes. But I see you going to the movies now. Like taking all them characters off YouTube and making them one of your movies too. I know you got Coco Jones and big stars.

[Country Wayne]

I got Drip. I got Drip. He got a movie coming for sure.

[Interviewer Darnell]

That's Super Fire, man.

[Country Wayne]

And me and Coco movie gonna be, you know, it's gonna be real good for the ladies and the men, because it's from a different point of view. But the chance was he was more laid back. And what chance was this? What women. Cause you know how women always think the nice guy is better than us. Chance even thought that too. But he's a player just like everybody else. But Chance think he's better than everybody just because he don't talk like us, right? So. So it's. It's that movie got a lot of messages in it. But at the end of the day, what people didn't know, Chance is looking for love. And that's what a lot of women don't know about us. Sometimes we really is looking for love. Definitely, man. Like, I'm really looking.

[Interviewer Darnell]

They don't have no idea about that shit. They could be looking for love.

[Country Wayne]

Love, dog. A man really be sometimes coming. Your life man ain't got. I ain't really trying to be a player. I'm really looking for love. But if I see that you ain't even looking with me, you think you looking for love? No, you look, you love the relationship. You feel what I'm saying? You love a lot of women. Love the wedding, the way it looks. Most women. A lot of women more in love with the illusion of love than love, right? Cause it's like, I gotta see it this way. I want this this way. You know what I mean? I wanna get married this way. I'm like, but all that's all that ain't here but me and you here right now. What if we just love each other first and let all whatever come with that, right? And men be looking for that. But we know when you get with a woman, we know she wanted a certain way. So I'm gonna go to your family cookout just cause this the day. And I'm gonna act like this. Cause I know this how you want me to act for your family. So now this a big act.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Got you.

[Country Wayne]

So you cheating on me too? I'm just going finna to go cheat.

[Interviewer Darnell]

You ever got married? You ever did the whole thing?

[Country Wayne]

Oh, yeah, I married. I married my. I married my. One of the mother of my kids, Gina. Because, okay, we was in the projects together selling dope, auto projects. When I finally. So when I finally made my first hundred grand, I made 100 grand. I made 100 grand one weekend doing stand up. And I was like, like, I called her, I said, g, I had already was engaged to her. I said, I'm ready to marry you. I said, because I made it. I feel like I made it. This was some legit money. I made 100 grand a weekend. I say, bro, I say, I went home. I said, we not gonna wait till the wedding. Went home. I took her to the courthouse.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Look at that.

[Interviewer Brian]

Definitely.

[Country Wayne]

So I saved that money, Gina.

[Interviewer Brian]

So what happened with that then?

[Country Wayne]

I saved that money.

[Interviewer Darnell]

That didn't work, man.

[Country Wayne]

You had money.

[Interviewer Darnell]

All the kids he got.

[Country Wayne]

But we stayed together. We stayed together. We were together for a year and a half, but we was together for like 10.

[Interviewer Darnell]

All right, gotcha.

[Country Wayne]

We was in the streets. I married her. We was together for a year and a half. And I just. I knew I had to get out of that relationship because it wasn't fair to her. Cause we was happy. It's just that I knew what I had to do.

[Interviewer Brian]

Your success and you.

[Country Wayne]

I knew I had to be me. I knew I had to be me to get to where I wanted to be. And being me was my story. And the stuff I did on social media.

[Interviewer Darnell]

You had to go create more stories.

[Country Wayne]

I had to go create more stories. Get the fuck outta here. Wait. Get the fuck. Get the fuck out of here. Hold on.

[Interviewer Darnell]

It sound good. You was sounding real good.

[Country Wayne]

Get the fuck outta here, man. I ain't never talked about it like that, but I had to go create more stories because the storylines I did, you gotta think about it. A lot of those storylines online, I'm in a relationship with girls, we kissing and we making this stuff feel real. Because I took social media to acting, right? So if I come home and me and her together, you not gonna let me act like I'm in a relationship with Ro. I'm gonna come home and you can be like, you really just doing that. And I'm like, ro, this acting, this ain't no movie, though. Cause that's what everybody was saying about the skits at first. This ain't no movie. So basically, you looking at my stuff as little skits. I know I can't go through this part. You're not gonna let me be what I need to be. And I'm glad because I wouldn't have been able to build all those relationships. Every girl in the skit, to get hot, I had to write the storyline through me. You know what I'm saying? It's just like. It's just like 5th and G unit, he popped. Then once we seen him when he brought y', all, we like, oh, we. So he had to pop first. But I couldn't have nothing in my way of my vision, because I knew. And it wasn't gonna be fair to her because her friends and everybody's gonna be in her. Yeah. You let Wayne kiss them girls on the videos like that I already know. You know, Like, I ain't got time for that because I need to focus. So if I come home one night, I don't need to be in that kind of relationship because I don't got time to talk. When a man got a vision and we try to take us somewhere. If a man driving a ship and it's a big rock in the way and a big rock right here, man. I don't got time to stop this ship and hear you talk about your feelings because you about to feel this boat tip over. Now, if you want to feel this boat tip over, keep on talking. I'm driving the ship. So I just didn't need nobody at that time in my career to really be talking, man. Cause I knew where I was going. And when I got there, she understood. Like, she still. She still rich, man.

[Interviewer Darnell]

She benefits from your decisions.

[Country Wayne]

She benefits from riches.

[Interviewer Darnell]

She benefited from your decision.

[Country Wayne]

She spent a lot.

[Interviewer Brian]

She was your first baby mother.

[Country Wayne]

Nah, the first baby baby mama. She benefiting time, too. They get a lot of money.

[Interviewer Brian]

Who is she? What's her name?

[Country Wayne]

Her name's Taquisha. She was my high school sweetheart. Now, the thing about Taquesha, the thing about her is that I could have been with. I could have been with her because she don't talk. But at the same time, people around her would have got in her ear. Queet be chilling. You feel what I'm saying? Gina going, da, da, da, da, da da da. You know what I'm saying? Queet gonna chill, but you gonna feel it. Gina gonna tell you versus Taquisha what I call her Queet. If I would have been with her, it would have been coming home. Hey, hey, Queet, what's up? Right? She ain't gonna say nothing. So now I'm gonna have to be all night. What's wrong with you?

[Interviewer Darnell]

Nothing.

[Country Wayne]

Why you say something wrong with me? Cause your goddamn neck keep doing what it's doing. What's wrong with you? So it was like I still was gonna feel it. They are who they are in different ways. But the good part of them, man, they great mothers to my kids. They allow me to do this, and they. At the end of the day, they can't stand me. But they love me and they understand my heart of it. No matter what, he want the best for his family. And they make that unit work with all those kids. The kids close and everybody, you know, Even when they don't get along, they try. They got better than they did back in the day. Like, you know back in the day. Cause we went through a lot together, Busting my windows and all that. Like, one of my baby mamas, Queeque, came to Gina house and bust my windows when we was in the project. This now I got a whole quarter break in the house. The police come, you going to jail, buddy. Cause I'm gonna tell him it's yours. No, you don't even know I'm going through all this, you know what I'm saying? But we at this place now, man, and they blessed them girls. They get most of the money.

[Interviewer Darnell]

That's dope, man.

[Country Wayne]

They really get most of the money. I've never met a woman that I give more than them. And I put up with more for them. I let them cuss me out. Still sending the check every month, you know what I'm saying? But. And they get a lot of money. But if I wouldn't have been able to be Wayne, I couldn't be who I am. You know what I'm saying? I had to be free. You know what I'm saying? So Michael Myers. It's like Future. I know women will be mad when I say this, but Future left Ciara. His music got better.

[Interviewer Darnell]

It did.

[Country Wayne]

Because he was able to be healed. He must was holding it in March

[Interviewer Brian]

Madness and all that came March Madness.

[Country Wayne]

Well, when Future came, when he got

[Interviewer Darnell]

out of that relationship to my guy,

[Country Wayne]

Future, man, when Future got out of that relationship, man, the club was a different vibe.

[Interviewer Darnell]

He turned it up.

[Country Wayne]

He couldn't be who he was, respectfully. He couldn't be all the way who he was. So me, obviously.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Well, let's not blame Cierra for that one.

[Country Wayne]

No, I ain't blaming her for that. What I'm saying, because I know a lot of females gonna be like, what you saying? Ciara, hold him down.

[Interviewer Darnell]

No, Sierra, you know they gonna say

[Country Wayne]

that Ciara was holding him up. Ciara was being a woman. What I'm saying, as an artist, he needed to be free. Cause he was able to talk about it, and he was able to. Everything that came out on social media,

[Interviewer Darnell]

I know some females be hating you the way you make certain shit make sense.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah. Just gotta be free to be great. The text message on social media. The text message on social media. My future say, say you good, love. They hit harder. Because his songs be already saying that. So it's like. It's like the country. Wayne, make a joke about baby mamas. It hit harder. Cause everybody know I got them kids. Exactly. That's what I'm saying. You feel what I'm saying? So what I'm saying, when you. When Future was in the relationship, if you talk about that, you like it don't go together. That's why I see some people, when they be rapping and they be in a relationship, I'm like, that verse ain't coming out the same.

[Interviewer Brian]

He's right.

[Country Wayne]

Even if you're not living that, your fans want to know that you can live that, right? So if you're in a relationship and you saying, I was this and I was that, I was shouting last night, we thinking, ooh, she letting you get away with that.

[Interviewer Brian]

Think about it. Everybody he break up with is like in the song when he. Lori Harvey, they talked about Steve Harvey

[Interviewer Darnell]

is me and him listening to his art.

[Country Wayne]

It's like, she's for the streets.

[Interviewer Brian]

Come on.

[Country Wayne]

It's like 50 came up bully. So when he put something on social media, it fits his character. So it's like, oh, it's hit harder. Because it's like, man, he was like that. Since we remember, so we remember. So if anybody else try that, it ain't gonna hit the same. Cause we like, 50 is playing. He is who he is. So at the same time, when people, as an artist, it's like wrestlers, when WCW and all that, they want you to stay. The reason why them wrestling is big because they stay who they are. Right? It was one. If you watch the McMahon thing one time the wrestlers got together and hugged each other. And by the crowd booed him. Cause the fans like, man, we don't want to see that.

[Interviewer Darnell]

We thought y' all hate each other. Motherfucker.

[Interviewer Brian]

We don't want to see this fool

[Interviewer Darnell]

by y' all shit fans.

[Country Wayne]

We don't want to say that like at the end of the day. Cause you gotta give it up for Drake and Kendrick because there was no guns drawn. What they did for the audience, bro, that the audience, another Drake responded.

[Interviewer Brian]

He did.

[Interviewer Darnell]

He put on.

[Country Wayne]

Cause you know why they put on. He played that role. Wherever this is it. Understand? Even though you say I lost the world was entertained.

[Interviewer Brian]

So how you feel when the battles go a little too far for you still love it?

[Country Wayne]

Nah, I don't like it when they go violent.

[Interviewer Brian]

Cause Jay Z just said something like, yo, battles should be done. Because now it's going a little too far. But.

[Country Wayne]

But I think he's went. He went far. Like Jay Z so rich. Sometime when you so rich like them, you be forgetting.

[Interviewer Darnell]

You be forget about. You went through when you were certain age beef.

[Interviewer Brian]

You said some crazy.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah, you can sell out the Yankee Stadium three times. Yeah, I can't, man. I'm trying to sell out a theater. And Drake and Kendrick, whether they know it or not, they stuck to the art. I think they can do it good. Because you know they weren't gonna pull out no guns. You know what I'm saying? They came bar at the bar and they said, it probably hurt hip hop. And it probably did. But hip hop, you know what I'm saying? People have been beefing with real guns. So if it hurt it, that means it was already wounded. Yeah, but the way they did it and the songs they was dropping the fans was entertained. The audience that watching you dogs. Some people ain't got $20. Some people paying their bills. I mean, they barely paying they bills, but they depending on entertainers. Like wrestlers. They not fighting for real. But people love to be entertained. And when you break that character, and I think nowadays a lot of people break character as artists too much. It won't let it be art. And it's like the audience don't want to see that. Like, if I got. If I got Shayla and Amber beefing in the storyline and they put up pictures together, I'd be like, take that down. Because the fans know it's fake, but don't play in their face. It's like a woman. You might be cheating for real, but don't have. Don't play in my face and embarrass me in front of my friends.

[Interviewer Brian]

Right.

[Country Wayne]

Don't play in my face because I'm giving you my energy and my time. We know this ain't real, but we want to feel like it is. And I just think when you. They weren't rapping about violence that much. Now when you rap about violence, the thing about. When you rap about violence, it eventually go get real.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Yeah, of course.

[Country Wayne]

Because now you was talking about threats.

[Interviewer Darnell]

They was personal.

[Country Wayne]

They was personal.

[Interviewer Darnell]

They was personal. It wasn't valid, but they got personal. It wasn't valid, but it was real personal things that they were saying to us.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah, I think it got too personal, actually. And I go a step farther with that. What I think Drake and Kendrick, them should do. At the end of the day, the record labels won. We still losing in the end, bro. We still don't own that stuff. We don't own the platforms. None of us own the platforms. For real. I would love to see Nicki Minaj and Cardi b them going 12 because they don't beef with friends before that. Done deal bad, man. That would get the power back. And Drake and Kendrick go on tour and still do your beef and still get up there. Yeah, he thought he could rap better than me. But y' all remember this hit, like, make it. Because at the end of the day, bro, we can't keep letting them divide us like that. And we ain't got nothing we can say. Okay, all right. I make a million every month, right? If I make over a million, if I make over a million dollars a month, the person who owned the platform made that last second.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Imagine.

[Country Wayne]

So I ain't nothing. So even if we get 400 million, 500 million, a billion, bro. Mark Zuckerberg make a billion every day. So we don't got nothing. And when we realize we don't got nothing, the only thing we do got is what money can't buy. We got the sauce. If we threw it together, like, hey, man, this the deal we want you got. Wait till you get big talk like this now. Because I ain't big enough. But I'm talking about them. They big enough to be like, we ain't touring unless we getting 100% of all of it. You know what I mean? We won't.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Like, they could make them demand. You're right.

[Country Wayne]

But if they came together, you're right. Yeah. Hell, yeah.

[Interviewer Brian]

Cardi B.

[Country Wayne]

And Nikki, you talking about Cardi B, Nikki, Meg, Thee, Stallion, you know what I'm saying?

[Interviewer Brian]

Lotto?

[Country Wayne]

Yeah, Kendrick. Kendrick and Drake, if they came together, it'd be the biggest in the game. Because at the end of the day, none of them won because the record labels made while they're rapping in the studio giving their best shot. They're sitting on a yacht teaching their kid how to go be an accountant, you know what I'm saying? Now when you do this, this is how you get the money. You know what I'm saying? You're gonna get 10% of this, you know what I'm saying? And we being artists, none of us are winning.

[Interviewer Brian]

Are you? Absolutely.

[Country Wayne]

We ain't winning. We think we win because we get more than each other. That's why I stay out of that. Because the end of the day, I ain't better no other social media comedian because, yeah, we trying to get. I ain't feeling nobody bother me with bro Jake, I think when we get bigger than each other, be like, yeah, but bro, when is it gonna. When one of us gonna get 100 billion, man? We just need one of us to get 100 billion.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Yeah, that's true.

[Country Wayne]

That is true. If you add all the billionaires together, you have 50. Jay Z you talking about probably $7 billion, you know what I mean? Tyler, Penny, bro, if you see what them billionaires making Amazon and all them, man, it's like we, they tricked us to believe 1% of us get a big house out of there and they look at that. But we forget about all the little hungry. When I come to New York, man, I take my jewelry off everywhere. I only wore it here because we was on camera. But I'm. And I know this pre recorded, I'm not finna d disrespect. I'm not gonna disrespect that young dude who Mama need $60. And that's most of the world. So most of us are like that. So when you think about that, we like, bro, we got. When we got a chance to get some money, let's come together, get the extra money we gonna make and give it back.

[Interviewer Brian]

I agree.

[Country Wayne]

And change, change, change. The people who really need $20, you know what I'm saying? Cause that's how I am. Like I could live bigger than what I am, but I take care of my whole family. And I ain't making nowhere near that. And I realize I 30,000 a year might not be nothing to me, but that'll change his family life facts. So I'm like, we got. We making enough money to give back to our community that we don't have to ask, but we keep buying they stuff, you know what I'm saying?

[Interviewer Brian]

Well, that jury murder got on his neck.

[Country Wayne]

I'm guilty of it. I'm guilty of it.

[Interviewer Brian]

The might not rob you for that. See the Jesus pop.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Nah, niggas are still taking that, man.

[Country Wayne]

Pardon me, my homie. Amen.

[Interviewer Darnell]

Hallelujah.

[Country Wayne]

In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus.

[Interviewer Darnell]

There you go. The name of Jesus.

[Country Wayne]

Yeah, in the name of Jesus, bro. Hey, give me that Jesus popping. Hey, you feel me? Jesus gonna forgive Jesus. Jesus. Get you another one. But so I think, man, that. That. That really be my goal, dog. Like my. I pray, man, that I get so wealthy one day that I'll be able to. I see how money can change. I see how I change my family, right? I give him all my sisters. I'm like, like, damn, I'm gonna give my sister a hundred a year. A hundred thousand dollars a year. But at the same time, My watch cost 70 facts. My Ferrari cost 700,000. So I'm like, once I'm saying my sister ain't worth a watch in a Ferrari. I might just not buy two Ferraris. You feel what I'm saying? But it's like, I think we making enough money to really change each other lives already. We just don't know it because we keep buying the stuff that's making them wealthy and think we somebody definitely. Like, we walk in, yeah, I'm on social media. I'm doing it. I'm making money. But, bro, them peanuts, they not never gonna pay me what I'm worth and what I'm really bringing to that channel. Right, right. So it's like at the end of the day, I think if we came together, that'd be bigger. Like, if Drake. Cause they built the storyline up for them to hate each other and drop a tour. Much as you stretch hate. Then when that love come back, you watch how many people in the hood now go to old boy in the corner. Hey, bro, how about we open up a store together, bro? Just because Drake and Kendrick got together, they don't know the power. When you get famous, it ain't about this money. And if we don't, when you get famous, we have a responsibility. God don't let you get this big for no reason. It ain't for us. He let us enjoy good things. That's why the more you enjoy, the bigger you get. You be depressed. Cause you realize, dog, that ain't what we supposed to doing? You feel better when you do that? You're helping people. You ain't lying if you make it up a million dollars. You know what I'm saying? Or such and such, bro. You could change so many people's lives with that. But going back and giving the hood turkeys ain't it. Because we found out turkeys weren't even good for us. We killing the food. The food been killing us anyway. So it's like turkey giveaway shit. But we come together and be like, hey, man, like, I got. You know, I got a network coming. I'm building my own Country Wayne network.

[Interviewer Brian]

Well, can we. We command murder, be on one of your shows?

[Interviewer Darnell]

Yeah, let's go, man. Let's get some of this money together. I like how that sound, my brother.

[Interviewer Brian]

[Country Wayne]

That's her. And might need to edit some of that, cuz Illuminati might come, try to cut my head out. But I got Jesus, cuz some of them probably going to hear this. I don't supposed to be talking about this yet. I supposed to wait till I get some money like J.T. that. I love this cover.
