Wayne’s connection to Kansas City extends beyond Tuesday’s performance. In 2024, he headlined Kelce Jam, the tight end’s music festival, reinforcing his bond with the NFL star.

Beyond his heartfelt “Traylor” tribute, Wayne delivered a wide-ranging setlist featuring classics from his decades-long career and showcased new Young Money talent.
