Lil Wayne gives crazy NSFW shoutout to Browns' rookie QB Shedeur Sanders after concert in Cleveland image

Lil Wayne performed at the famous Cleveland concert venue Blossom on Thursday night as part of his Tha Carter VI tour.

The legendary rapper couldn't depart the stage without shouting out Shedeur Sanders.

The Cleveland Browns' rookie quarterback is the most well-known fifth-round pick in NFL history. The son of Hall of Famer Deion Sanders was a shocking NFL Draft slide from a consensus projected first-round pick all the way to pick No. 144. It only increased the scrutiny around him.

Sanders is coming off a strong NFL preseason debut, although an oblique injury will likely keep him out of the second week of the preseasons. He's involved in a four-man QB competition with the Browns.

So on Thursday night, as Weezy walked off the stage, he delivered a parting message.

"One time for my motherf— brother Shedeur Sanders, n—," Lil Wayne shouted as he departed.

He delivered it with plenty of energy, too, captured in a video going viral on social media.

Now if only Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski would inquire with Lil Wayne for depth chart advice.

In all seriousness, Sanders is a big deal. Even in the away preseason debut at the Carolina Panthers, the stands were dotted with No. 12 Browns jerseys and No. 2 Colorado jerseys, all repping Sanders.

No matter where his NFL career goes, he'll maintain extreme notoriety. 

And if Sanders finds a way to develop into a starter and even a star, maybe he'll get his name into some Lil Wayne lyrics, too.
