Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin did not hide how he felt about rapper Lil Wayne’s performance with Imagine Dragons during the Alabama-Clemson halftime-show on Monday night.
“Way to ruin an entertaining Imagine Dragons half-time concert with the weird rantings of a tired, has-been like Lil Wayne. One act still rising … The other not so much…," he tweeted.
Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., appeared alongside the pop band Imagine Dragons for the championship’s halftime show.

“Wayne’s much more of a legend to the people of Kentucky then you will ever be,” a social media user wrote. “Take your hate elsewhere, our state doesn’t appreciate it.”
“I thought Wayne was on fire,” another person tweeted. “He certainly nailed being the entertainer.”
