There are rare occurrences in this world, and a popular hip-hop artist referencing Eli Manning in a song is one of them.
Well, that’s exactly what happened this week.
Philadelphia rapper Lil Uzi Vert released his new album “Eternal Atake” on Friday. In the second song of the album — “Lo Mein” — he shouts out the retired New York Giants quarterback.
Early in the song, the 25-year-old rapper says “I was holding down my team like my name was Peyton…Had to make sure my brother good, Eli Manning,” per genius.
