Tyshon Dwayne Nobles (born October 27, 1990), better known by his stage name T-Wayne, is an American rapper from Houston, Texas.[2] His rap name is a combination of his first name and his middle name. He has also occasionally taken the pseudonym Rickey Wayne, amid concerns that his name resembles those of famous rappers, T-Pain and Lil Wayne. He is best known for his 2015 single "Nasty Freestyle" which peaked at number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100.[3] Born in Abilene, he moved to Dallas at age 15, then to Houston at 19, where he lives.[1] He also performed at the 2015 BET Awards.

On May 4, 2015, T-Wayne released his first single, "Nasty Freestyle".[4] It peaked at number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100 in May 2015. The song also entered the UK Singles Chart at number 99, peaking at number 41.
