Rappers from the across the country weighed in on the big game that is likely to get over 100 million views. Last year’s Super Bowl reached 111.3 million viewers as the Giants‘ beat the Patriots.
“The @49ers ain’t never been to the Big Dance & tripped over they pants! #Questforsix,” 49ers supporter E-40 said.

“#GoRavens #SuperBowl #Wings RT @wingstop: @WingstopMemphis Have a great Sunday guys!” Rick Ross said as he re-Tweeted Wingstop’s tweet to the Wingstop he owns in Memphis.
“You know the Baltimore Ravens are gonna win that joint,” Pusha T said in an interview with MTV. “Ray Lewis is saying he’s going to retire [and] I think he brings a lot of energy to the whole National Football League, and what better way for him to go out?”
“They’ve got a team member called Flacco,” A$AP Rocky said of the Baltimore Ravens Joe Flacco and eluding to a Baltimore Ravens victory.
“My team’s not in it,” Weezy said of his Green Bay Packers. “So I ain’t trippin’.”
While Lil Wayne was indifferent, he was also happy for the Hall of Famers that were announced this weekend as well.
“Yeaaaah C. C!!! Congrats 2 Cris Carter & Warren Sapp! Hard work is better than all work but nothing is better than when it’s appreciated,” Lil Wayne Tweeted.
