The Chicago Bears stunning Wild Card comeback over the Green Bay Packers didn’t just shake up the NFC playoff picture, it also prompted a public reversal from one of Green Bay’s most famous fans.
After the Bears rallied from a 21–3 halftime deficit to win 31–27 at Soldier Field, longtime Packers supporter Lil Wayne initially reacted with an emotional and profane post on X, venting his frustration after another painful postseason loss to Chicago. His message included a personal jab at Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, drawing attention to Williams painted nails, a stylistic choice that has become part of the quarterback’s public image.
As the dust settled, Wayne took a different tone. On Tuesday, the rapper walked back his comments, posting a follow-up message acknowledging Williams talent and giving him respect despite the rivalry. Wayne admitted his emotions got the best of him in the moment, praised Williams game, and made it clear his frustration was rooted in fandom rather than personal animosity.
Williams responded by taking the high road. Rather than escalating the exchange, the Bears quarterback replied calmly, saying “Weez it’s all love” before signing off with “#BearDown.” The calm response quickly went viral.

On the field, Williams performance backed it all up. The quarterback led Chicago’s second-half surge and capped the comeback with a 25-yard touchdown pass to DJ Moore with 1:43 remaining. The Bears exploded for 25 points in the fourth quarter alone, delivering one of the most improbable postseason comebacks in franchise history.
For Bears fans, it was a statement win. For Caleb Williams, it was another reminder that letting your play, and composure, do the talking goes a long way.
