Lil Wayne Trolls Aaron Rodgers, Packers After Loss in Detroit

The rapper is ready for the 2022 NFL season to be over.

It was a rough day for the Packers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers on Sunday.

The quarterback threw three interceptions in the Packers’ loss to the Lions, his highest single-game total since 2017. The 15–9 loss to their division rival marks Green Bay’s fifth loss in a row.

Rapper Lil Wayne, who is an avid Packers fan, expressed his frustration on social media as they drop to 3–6 on the season. His tweet made it sound as though the rapper has given up hope on his team this season.

“RIP to the season we should’ve gotten rid of 12 before the season,” Lil Wayne tweeted.

“12” is in reference to Rodgers, who signed a four-year extension ahead of the 2022 season. Before committing to the Packers, Rodgers reportedly contemplated retirement and also a trade to the Broncos.

Lil Wayne appears to believe that the Packers should have traded or dropped Rodgers before the season because of his struggles so far this year.

So far this season, Rodgers has completed 205 passes out of 317 attempts for 2,091 yards and 14 touchdowns. He has seven interceptions this season as well.
