The self-proclaimed “greatest rapper in the world” rocks dad jeans and likes to play softball.
It all started when Neal Medlyn, a.k.a. Champagne Jerry, went to a party with his friend Bridget Everett. Medlyn found a bottle of champagne and drank the whole thing as he walked around the party in a poncho, Everett said.
That night, he turned into Champagne Jerry.
“It’s about trying to be as fancy as you can even though you’re probably not all that fancy and thinking that you’re awesome even though you’re probably a fuck-up,” Medlyn said with an endearing Southern drawl.
