[You] great [in] our eyes, my G.” Rap-Up reported on the post, noting the mixed reactions from fans.

Some agreed with Boosie’s assessment, highlighting Brown’s talent and recent successful “Breezy Bowl XX Stadium World Tour.” Others brought up Brown’s past legal issues, while some suggested that securing a Super Bowl performance often depends on having a good relationship with JAY-Z, who has influence over the selection process.
