A decade after his meme stream, Dieunerst Collin is embracing his widespread former — and unexpected — glory.
“A lot can happen with the power of the internet behind you,” Collin said. “I can’t believe I can say I’m officially sponsored by Popeyes. Thank you to everyone who helped spread the good word!to Instagram of Collin narrating his journey “from memes to dreams” to kickoff the partnership.A post shared by @popeyes
“This is where our story started,” Collin narrates. “The moment that made us a meme. We didn’t ask for it. We didn’t understand it. But don’t worry little man, we didn’t let it stop us. Because the more we grew, the tougher we got. We learned to lean in. We turned the attention into motivation and the motivation into championships. This is where our story started and now it’s where a new one begins.
Collin hopes to one day get his own meal at Popeyes, similar to other celebrities at different fast-food chains. Apart from turning his meme into a dream, the communications student hopes to play professional football and eventually become a sports analyst. As for whether or not Collin uses the meme himself, he said he’d rather not.
“I’ve used it less than 10 times,” he said. “I’m not a big fan of using it, because it’s me – but sometimes I’ll send it just to be funny.”
