Lil Wayne was spotted repping his hometown during Monday night’s College Football National Championship.
In a new commercial promoting the College Football National Championship Game, Lil Wayne debuted his new song “Playoff”, accompanied by Young Money’s Poppy H, trombone player Corey Henry, and the band the Treme Funket. The jazz-inspired compilation went down in a club in Weezy’s hometown of New Orleans, and the clip shows the rapper putting on a show for a small crowd. The championship game between Louisiana State University and Clemson was played at the Mercedes Benz Superdome in NOLA.
The video features Wayne delivering lyrics inspired by the work ethic of football, saying, “Get down and lay down/Lay down and stay down/Can’t take a play off/Can’t take a day off/Workin’ my A off.” The audience dances as their hometown rap star, who many consider the greatest of all time, delivers some bars in his signature raspy voice.
Lil Wayne is no fraud when it comes to promoting football. The Louisiana rapper considers himself a Green Bay Packers superfan, and even led the stadium in their traditional “Roll Out the Barrel” chant on Lambeau field on Sunday. The Packers also gifted Wayne with his own custom jersey, with “Tunechi” written on the back.
