Decorated football coach Bill Belichick earlier this week shocked the football community especially NFL fans after he accepted the head coaching job of the University of Carolina. Fans are shocked Bill accepted the position instead of waiting for a possible NFL gig
Amid backlash from NFL fans, Award-winning American rapper Lil Wayne has jumped into the defence of the legendary football coach.
In an X post on Thursday the 12th of December, while plenty of debate was sparked on social media with Belichick’s surprising move to the NCAA, Wayne congratulated the six-time Super Bowl champion on getting the UNC job.
While calling out Bill’s haters, the rapper wrote ”“Man much respect 2da GOAT coach Bill Belichick! Not sure why they’re all hatin but I believe it to be envy and just a bunch of folks that don’t know how to simply say “congratulations” or nada,”.
The Young Money member continued to quote bars from his “Love Me or Hate Me” track, which landed on 2007’s The Leak EP. “A wise man once said ‘u can luv me or hate me, I swear it wont make me or break me.”
With Wayne slamming the backlash against Belichick, some fans flipped his words against him. They compared the situation to when he voiced his frustration about not getting the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show gig instead of simply showing love to Kendrick Lamar.
“Say kongratulations to Kendrick challenge,” one TDE fan wrote while another said: “This sounds oddly familiar..”
When Kendric was announced by Roc Nation as the headliner form the 2025 event scheduled to take place in New Orleans, Weezy expressed his frustration, admitting that he was hurt he was not selected for the gig. His colleagues including Birdman and Nicki Minaj accused Jay Z of sidelining Wayne.
“That hurt. It hurt a lot. You know what I’m talking about. It hurt a whole lot,” he said at the time. “I blame myself for not being mentally prepared for a letdown. And for automatically mentally putting myself in that position like somebody told me that was my position. So I blame myself for that. But I thought that was nothing better than that spot and that stage and that platform in my city, so it hurt. It hurt a whole lot.”
