The line comes from the 2005 drama Hustle & Flow, where Terrence Howard plays DJay, a Memphis pimp trying to become a rapper. Mayne is local slang for man, and Howard's drawn out delivery turned a simple greeting into the character's calling card. Clips circulated online as a reaction and entrance sound, detached from the film but keeping the same meaning of a casual, confident check in. It remains popular because the phrase works out of context and is instantly tied to DJay.

DJay from Hustle & Flow saying what happenin mayne in a Memphis drawl, used as a laid-back greeting and reaction clip in memes and video edits.
This is Terrence Howard as DJay in Hustle & Flow delivering his signature greeting, what happenin mayne, stretched out in a slow Memphis drawl. The line is short, warm and instantly recognisable, with mayne replacing man for that distinctive Southern bounce. It does not shout or punch in like most reaction sounds, it saunters in, which makes a normal hello feel cooler and funnier than it should. Viewers hear confidence, hustle and a little swagger, so even a mundane entrance or check in suddenly plays like a main character moment.
