Drill rapper Tion Wayne swigs from bottle of ‘£300 champagne’ behind the wheel as he boasts about Number One record in Instagram video

  • EXCLUSIVE: Footage shows Tion Wayne, 27, swigging from the bottle in his car
  • At one point video cuts to photo of Wayne and friend holding up signs saying ‘1’ 
  • Bottle resembles Ace Of Spades, a Champagne produced by Armand de Brignac 

A drill rapper shared a video on Instagram showing him apparently drinking Champagne at the wheel of his car to celebrate gaining a Number One single. 

Footage shows Tion Wayne, 27, swigging from the bottle as he raps along to his hit song Bodies, while at one point keeping both hands off the wheel while driving along a road. 

At one point the video cuts to a photo of Wayne and a friend holding up signs saying ‘1’ before it returns to footage of him driving. 

The bottle the rapper is holding closely resembles Ace Of Spades, a Champagne produced by Armand de Brignac that sells for around £300 for a 750ml bottle. 

The video, which appears to have been filmed recently, has now been taken down. MailOnline has contacted Wayne’s representatives for comment.

Wayne has appeared on three top-10 singles before getting his first top 10 hit as the lead artist with I Dunno featuring Dutchavelli and Stormzy, which peaked at number seven. 

His song Bodies, where he appears alongside fellow British star Russ Millions, recently took the top spot in the UK Singles Chart for the second week in a row and also went to number one in Australia. 

It was the first drill song to go to No 1 in the official UK charts, amid concerns about its violent lyrics. 

The rappers yell about ‘my nank [knife] just wavin’ and ‘with my fist, love the altercation . . . with my shank [knife], that’s a combination . . . when I punch man, it’s grievous’.

The lyrics refer to the ‘3×3’ group from Edmonton in North London, and the gang violence which has plagued the area. Rapper E1 who is credited as ‘E1 (3×3)’ on the popular remix of the song, raps in it: ‘No one in 3×3’s been blammed [shot].’

Body racked up 71,000 chart sales and almost 11 million online streams last week alone.

Combined views for the YouTube videos of two versions of the song stand at more than 56 million.

Wayne, whose real name is Dennis Junior Odunwo, was born in Edmonton, north London, and began his rise to fame in 2010 after posting videos of his songs on YouTube. 

In March 2017, he was involved in a brawl after performing at a nightclub in Bristol.

The incident was not said to be gang-related, but began when a group of people who had been banned from entry then waited outside after the event.

Wayne was jailed for 16 months for stamping on a man’s head, which was caught on CCTV.

Last year, he was reportedly involved in an altercation on a plane to Dubai with a rapper affiliated with a rival Tottenham drill group, OFB.

He appears to reference the 2017 incident in his new hit single, rapping: ‘They played back the CCTV / When I banged him, man, my defence said “Jesus” ’.
