[_XXL_](http://www.xxlmag.com/news/2016/06/lil-wayne-songs-sports-team-championship/)noted that every team that [Weezy](http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1820148,00.html) has written a sports song about has won rings, [starting with Kobe Bryant and the Lakers in 2009](http://time.com/4288853/kobe-bryant-in-pictures-and-words/). Wayne wrote a song called, appropriately, “[Kobe Bryant](https://soundcloud.com/akajoe/lil-wayne-kobe-bryant),” after which Bryant and the Lakers won the NBA playoffs later that year. Two years later, in 2011, when the [Green Bay Packers were facing the Pittsburgh Steelers](http://time.com/3856974/aaron-rodgers-celebrity-jeopardy/) in the Super Bowl, Lil Wayne dropped “[Green & Yellow](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KH75PmAabIE)” as a response to Wiz Khalifa’s hit Pittsburgh anthem, “Black & Yellow.” However, it was Wayne’s Packers that walked away with the title of Super Bowl champs. It appears that third time’s a charm for Tunechi’s sports tracks — he released a song called “[Off Off Off](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=%5FhekPfXo27Q)” in support of [the Cleveland Cavaliers, who nabbed their first NBA championship ever](http://time.com/4374422/cleveland-cavaliers-golden-state-warriors-lebron-james-nba-game-7-basketball/?xid=tcoshare) on Sunday night against the Golden State Warriors during the 2016 playoffs. For his part, Weezy has stayed pretty humble about the whole thing, simply taking to Twitter to congratulate Cleveland on their win. > [](https://twitter.com/LilTunechi/status/744721850047959040) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4375587/lil-wayne-sports-songs-championship/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4375587/lil-wayne-sports-songs-championship/"},"headline":"Lil Wayne Is Basically a Sports Prophet","datePublished":"2016-06-20T21:21:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:33:32.925Z","description":"Every team he's written a song about has won a championship","url":"https://time.com/4375587/lil-wayne-sports-songs-championship/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Sports topic","Music","Lil Wayne"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4375587/lil-wayne-sports-songs-championship/","name":"Lil Wayne Is Basically a Sports Prophet"}}]}] ```
