Lil Wayne made his presence known in Lambeau Field ahead of Thursday night’s Packers–Lions game.

The Packers brought the rapper, who is one of their biggest celebrity fans, with them as they ran through the tunnel onto the field. The five-time Grammy Award winner led quarterback Jordan Love, running back Aaron Jones and the entire Green Bay crew out of the tunnel.

Fans could tell this was one of the most special moments of Lil Wayne’s accomplished career and life as he looked ecstatic while running with the players.

The “Green and Yellow” singer wasn’t dressed in the team’s iconic colors, though. He sported a red sweatshirt instead.

Standing at 5’ 5”, Lil Wayne looked pretty funny running next to a bunch of giant football players. Take a look at the already iconic moment.

Lil Wayne often tweets about his beloved Packers, even sometimes expressing criticism about the team. For now, he’ll hope that Green Bay can keep the momentum rolling against an NFC North rival after a 2–1 start in 2023.
