Lil Wayne has shown love to Bill Belichick on social media after the legendary NFL coach accepted a job to take over as the head coach for the football program at the University of North Carolina. The eight-time Super Bowl champion announced that he'd be joining UNC on Thursday morning. Later in the day, Wayne shared a message for him on X (formerly Twitter), which sparked jokes about how he handled Kendrick Lamar landing the headlining spot at Super Bowl LIX.
"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! A wise man once said 'u can luv me or hate me, I swear it wont make me or break me'…," Wayne wrote. The post comes as he has complained about the NFL selecting Lamar instead of him on several occasions.

One user responded to Wayne's post: "the irony in this tweet LMFAOOO." Another wrote: "talking about… after you just…. man put the cup down unc." One more argued: "I agree but you didn't tell Kendrick congratulations or say Nada! Instead your expression of disappointment shaded his success."
