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.
