“We was at the 40/40 in the day time, and when I got up there it was Denzel, it was Derek Jeter… I was like, this is his clique? And they’re up there just laughing at jokes I just don’t get. I mean laughing loud,” Wayne recalls. “He literally sat me down next to him and would to me on the side after every joke. Man, that man offered me 175. I was lookin’ at him like ‘two teeth in my mouth is $175,000.'”
