Drake subtly expressed support for Lil Wayne after Kendrick Lamar is chosen for the Super Bowl halftime show, sharing photos of Weezy on social media without captions.

The move is seen as a response to criticism that Lil Wayne was overlooked for the role.

Nicki Minaj also voiced support for Lil Wayne, questioning the decision and expressing disappointment.

“Denying a young black man what he rightfully put into this game for no other reason but your ego. Your hatred for BIRDMAN, Drake & Nicki got you punishing Lil Wayne?!?!!! LIL WAYNE!!!!!!!!!! THE GOAT?!!!!!!!!!!! Nola what’s good?” she tweeted.
