He was the brother of producer Drumma Boy and frequently worked with Lil Wayne.

Platinum-selling producer Ensayne Wayne reportedly was killed on Feb. 10, according to Fox5 Atlanta. The producer, who was the brother of veteran producer Drumma Boy, was reportedly shot and killed outside of an Atlanta clothing store.

Wayne, whose real name is Ferrell Miles, was reportedly nearby House of Fresh – Drumma Boy’s clothing store on a popular street in Atlanta – when he was reportedly shot in the chest multiple times. Wayne was rushed to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

Atlanta Police Lieutenant Carven Tyus claimed the shooting was the result of a previous disagreement. "The victim and the suspect produced weapons and the victim was shot as a result of that altercation," Lt. Tyus said in an official statement.

My BIG blood-brother... 💉 My dad showed me the fundamentals of music & music theory, but my brother introduced me to making beats.”
