Wayne Backing Favre Over Hometown Saints

New Orleans biggest rap mogul cheering against New Orleans? Sounds insane, but Young Money Ent. CEO and self-proclaimed "Best Rapper Alive" Lil Wayne did just that earlier this week (Thursday, Jan. 21). Interviewed by MTV Wayne, real name Dewayne Micheal Carter, says he predicts the Vikings would defeat home team New Orleans Saints.

To clarify, "I'm rooting for Brett because I'm a diehard," Wayne tells MTV. Wayne possesses a autographed football from Brett Favre, which he holds dear to him and remains in his sports collection.

But besides they history "Mr. Carter" has a valid and unbais assessment of why the Vikings had such a supberb chance at defeating his Saints. Wayne- who has been on ESPN to talk sports- says, "I believe the Vikings will win because of the running attack,"..."The Saints give up about 150 rushing yards a game, and the Vikings have arguably the best running back in the game [Adrian Peterson]. ... I believe the Vikings defense will frustrate Brees."

Being that the Vikings was not successful in defeating his New Orleans Saints, it seems to be a "Bittersweet" victory in Lil Wayne's case, since that may be the last time he sees his favorite QB taking snaps.

Eventhough, he still can celebrate that his hometown Saints are superbowl bound I suppose. The New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis will go head to head in Superbowl XLIV Feb. 7 in Miami, Florida.
