Rams, Sean McVay Drop Clever Reaction to Surprise Reference by Lil' Wayne
Sean McVay found his way into "Tha Carter VI" courtesy of Lil' Wayne.
The Grammy winning rapper dropped his much-anticipated newest album Friday. It's the sixth installment of his "Tha Carter" album series that's won over his fans over the years. Now he's grabbed the attention of the Los Angeles Rams.
Wayne references the Super Bowl winning head coach on the track "Welcome to Tha Carter," which is the second track off the 19-song album. The song starts with a church choir theme intro, but then blends in drums and Wayne's signature rapping voice.
It goes from Gospel theme to one filled with sports references -- including this lyric that brings up McVay:
"Smokin that bomb LA like I'm McVay/Bombs away, I'm just tryna concentrate," Wayne raps.
Well, turns out the Rams heard that bar loud and clear. They posted this clever reaction featuring their beloved head coach.
The Super Bowl LVI winner isn't the only L.A. reference on the track. Former Los Angeles Lakers champion and NBA All-Star Metta World Peace is mentioned by Wayne on the song too.
McVay himself hasn't personally reacted to the song. But it's not the first time the Rams have reacted to any major Hip-Hop news.
Rams mascot Rampage posted a picture mimicking Kendrick Lamar's "GNX" album cover -- which showed the mascot in front of the Buick vehicle just like the Compton native. Lamar released that album in 2024 and since has gone on tour -- including performing two shows at the Rams' home of SoFi Stadium.
The Rams also used the late Nipsey Hussle's hit track "Grindin' All My Life" as part of their 2024 schedule release. Now the New Orleans native Wayne showed love to McVay and L.A.This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 6, 2025, where it first appeared.

Beyoncé skips '16 Carriages,' flying car again Night 1 in D.C.: Are they permanently cut?
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter delivered another dazzling performance during her first "Cowboy Carter" concert in the Washington, D.C.-area, keeping safety at the forefront by once again cutting a hit song and signature flying car stunt from the show. The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her July Fourth show at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland — five miles east of Washington, D.C. The concert marked Beyoncé's first of two shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She is also set to perform on July 7. During the Fourth of July show, Beyoncé once again skipped her single "16 Carriages" after she faced a technical mishap during her first concert in her hometown of Houston. During the H-Town opener, which took place at NRG stadium on June 28, Beyoncé was forced to pause the show because a technical glitch caused the vehicle to tilt midair. She told everyone to "stop" repeatedly before being safely lowered and landing the car among the audience. There were no injuries. At the following Houston show, Beyoncé cut "16 Carriages" from the set list completely and avoided flying in the air in a car. During Thursday's show, fans wondered if she would bring back the song and the stunt. However, that question was soon answered. One fan wrote, "Yeah she's off that car for the rest of the tour, which means no more 16 Carriages? 😭💔" As fans know, Beyoncé first announced the eighth studio album in February 2024 during a surprise Super Bowl commercial, releasing singles "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages." The tunes quickly gained popularity ahead of the album's full release March 29, 2024. It's unclear if Beyoncé will perform the song in any variation for the rest of the tour. Of course, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26.

Beyoncé lights up Washington with dazzling Fourth of July ‘Cowboy Carter' show
Forget fireworks. Beyoncé Knowles-Carter lit up the nation's capital this Fourth of July with her first "Cowboy Carter" concert in the Washington, D.C.-area. The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her July Fourth show at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland — five miles east of Washington, D.C — around 8:43 p.m local time. The concert marked her first of two shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She is set to perform at the stadium again on July 7. "Happy Fourth of July, everybody. Today is all about freedom," she said, opening the show in an American flag floor-length coat over a matching bodysuit with sparkly fringe boots and a white cowboy hat. As fans know, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary. The July Fourth show was no different. However, the added backdrop of the holiday made for an especially significant night — especially given the the messages and motifs pertaining to country music, America's complex past and its ongoing cultural reckoning. "The concept of Beyoncé having a show on the 4th of July in Washington D.C. performing, her album about celebrating Black Americanism… ICONIC," one fan wrote on X. And the electric energy and holiday spirit was kept alive throughout the entire night. Even a SirDavis whiskey bottle was seen dressed to match the theme. The tour has been a huge showcase of fashion and creativity. Each night, Beyoncé continues to blend high fashion and cowboy couture, keeping fans on the edge of their seats as they anticipate a new look. There's been many looks incorporating Western-glam: sparkly chaps, cowboy hats, boots and piles of fringe. And she continued to serve during the D.C.-area opener. Of course, Beyoncé first released her eighth studio album, "Cowboy Carter," in March 2024. It has since made history and broken multiple records. As Beyoncé's first country album, she deliberately featured country legends and emerging Black country artists alike. She became the first Black woman to win best country album at the 2025 Grammys and also took home album of the year. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26.
